【PRODUCT INFO】HR VALLEY HUNTER LURE ROD
2023/02/01
In 2022, Taiwanese lure fishing community hosted numerous competitions, spanning from north to south, and from freshwater to saltwater. Whether it was National Ocean Cup Friendly Fishing Competition organized by the Fishing Tackle Industry Association, or events held by major brands and fishing clubs, each had a significant scale and fair rules and conditions. This year, a total of 7 competitions were participated in, earning 5 championships and 1 runner-up position. The key equipment used in these competitions was none other than HR Valley Hunter fishing rods. So far, Valley Hunter rods have launched 18 different models of spinning and casting rods, covering a wide range of fishing needs, from saltwater to freshwater, ensuring that all fishing conditions are well-equipped and ready to go.
For saltwater fishing, Valley Hunter MINNOW 60F and MINNOW 55SS are highly recommended. The primary target species in saltwater include black porgy, grouper, red snapper, barramundi, and perch. These fish are primarily attracted by the speed of movement, making the stability of the lure during high-speed is crucial. Both MINNOW 60F and MINNOW 55SS feature a strong, vibrating action, ensuring stable wobbling even in fast currents. This allows for quick retrieval without losing stability. If you’re fishing in areas with waves or turbulent water, MINNOW 55SS is a better option due to its "S" attribute, which provides more stability during the action. The SLOW sinking nature of the 55SS ensures that after the lure drops into the water, the line retrieval doesn’t cause the lure to sink too quickly, preventing the risk of getting snagged on the bottom. This gives you more time to control the line effectively.
Another highly versatile lure is Valley Hunter VIB-46S. It’s suitable for all swimming layers and can target a wide range of fish species. The internal weight distribution of the lure ensures that it doesn’t wobble erratically during casting or sinking, effectively preventing line tangling issues. Whether you’re fishing in shallow reefs or in canyon streams, VIB-46S offers excellent catchability, making it a reliable choice for various fishing environments.
VALLEY HUNTER series fishing rods are primarily developed for local fish species, backed by years of accumulated experience. These rods boast powerful combat strength and come in a variety of specifications with different action and power ratings, catering to the preferences of most anglers. Whether you're fishing in freshwater streams, lakes, or saltwater shore casting or boat fishing with MINI SLOW JIG, these rods are suitable for all scenarios. During use, anglers can clearly feel the vibrations of the lure, allowing them to easily determine whether the lure’s movement underwater is correct. Additionally, VALLEY HUNTER series rods are highly portable. After thorough testing, a unique 2-piece and 4-piece travel rod design was chosen, ensuring smooth connection without any sluggishness, loss of sensitivity, or decreased strength. This series is designed to be a versatile rod for both recreational and competitive fishing. Whether you're using hard lures or soft bait rigs, it’s adaptable and easy to use. Moving forward, it’s planned to develop even more professional models for Valley Hunter that better meet anglers' evolving needs.
