TU - (The Ultimate) Light Jigging Experience - Part 1

There's more great products coming out from Storm this season! Following the recent introduction of the Japanese-designed Basho Frog, we now have the Storm Thunder Jigs! Personally, I love the new Storm products as they are getting to look more like their JDM counterparts but at a more affordable price tag. It is not surprising since the Asia Edition lures are designed by a team of Japanese lure designers. Cool!





To try out these jigs without having to venture too far.... we headed for TU, just off Desaru, Johor. TU stands for Tompok Utara, a beacon that warns mariners of a shallow shoal in the busy shipping lane. And for the past couple of years, this spot has been synonymous with Queenfish. Big ones. And MANY of them!

But as years passed on, the fishes became smaller and though the big ones above 6-8kg are still around, they are less of an average size to encounter there.



We didnt have to wait long as the Queenfish were eagerly waiting below for the Thunder Jigs


Ever obliging...
