The end of December was all about big zander. A series of fish over 80 cm was simply unbelievable — earned through long hours on the water, maximum focus, and precise lure presentation. But when everything comes together, the reward follows. RedBass nymphs once again proved their quality and reliability, even in the toughest conditions. As a bonus, a truly big pike showed up as well.
At the turn of the year, we swapped winter waters for the tropics and headed to Colombia for peacock bass. Brutal fights with these extremely powerful fish thoroughly tested not only us, but our gear too. DAIWA spinning rods and reels, along with Grundéns apparel, performed flawlessly even in demanding jungle conditions.
During the trip, we landed over 300 peacock bass, with more than 30 fish in trophy size. The clear standout lures were the RedBass BigSnake soft bait and the surface legend Whopper Plopper by River2Sea, which triggered the most aggressive strikes.
A trophy end to the year. An exotic start to the new one. Exactly how it should be.
