BAJIO - SUNGLASSES There’s a new premium fly fishing sunnies giant in the arena and they’re shooting the lights out. Now available in South Africa, Bajio boast phenomenally clear lenses and a completely carbon neutral business model. Add to that a huge range of both mens and ladies frame shapes (our current
favorites are the Caballo, Calda and Paila), frame colours and lens options and you can see, clearly, why Bajio have rapidly become so popular in the USA. There’s an extensive range available at X-Factor, the exclusive supplier and stockist of Bajio in Africa. bajiosunglasses.com, xfactorangling.co.za
LOOP - EV0TEC G-5 REEL Relax tinfoil hat brigade. This is the G-5 reel, nothing to do with 5G and Bill Gates. It’s the latest iteration of Loop’s brilliant Evotec series with a sleek, updated design and several upgraded features like a new brake knob system that will give you better control over the brake even when your fingers are frozen. They have also introduced a new spool cap – which provides much better grip for spool changes – and enhanced the overall strength of the frame. Strong, smooth and sexy as all hell, the Evotec G5 is available in 4/6, 7/9 and 9/13 models in sleek gunmetal grey. And yes, G5 reels will work with your existing G4 spare spools. looptackle.com, flyfishing.co.za
“STRONG, SMOOTH AND SEXY AS ALL HELL” TIEMCO - SHIMAZAKI MAGIC SPRAY & SHAKE 2 minutes to go in a test match and your prop goes down. Out come the medics and they proceed to spray his shins with magic spray while he catches his breath. He bounces back up, dominates the next scrum and you win the game. While, Bob Skinstad aside, fly fishing and rugby have few connections, magic spray exists in both worlds. Shimazaki Magic Spray and Shake does to your dry flies what the
84
medic spray does to props. Point it at the fly and give it a quick shot on the top and bottom and watch the magic happen. It actually comes out as a liquid and then turns into a white powder right before your eyes. The most impressive thing is that the powder stays on the fly longer, giving you more cast/fish per treatment. tiemco.co.jp, xfactorangling.co.za
