MYDO Fishing Lures say no to single-use plastic

Mydo Lure Pouch: Can fasten lure on rod for safe travels and fishing

MYDO Fishing Lures say no to single-use plastic

In a stroke of good conscience and sharpened pencils, Mydo Fishing Lures have finally solved the world-wide problem – of single-use plastic, being used as packaging for fishing tackle!

Mydo’s now all come in a resilient lure pouch – included in the price! (you can also buy them on their own). They are made from clear PVC, and sealed with Velcro. Tough and versatile. Not only do your Mydos want to live in a lure pouch – but also your couta traces, daisy chains and even konas. Made in many sizes and shapes, you can also find many more diverse adaptations – like sunglasses pouch, or other valuables (it ain’s waterproof no – but provides a solid barrier against splashes, scratches and scuffs).

But it’s in the tackle box and on the boat, that you will appreciate Mydos new lure pouches the most. No more tangles! Not even possible. Even Sabikis and Yozuris can be forced to behave – locked in behind some velcro and 450 microns of plastic.

And you can wrap the pouch around a lure or trace, whilst it is still on the rod (see featured image below)! This increases safety on the boat and whilst traveling.

We are endeavouring to get around to all our retailers to swop out the old packaging for lure pouches, but there are 90 of them! All over southern Africa. So if you do buy Mydos with the older packaging, please discard responsibly, send us a mail, and we will sort you out with a few pouches in the post (pls send receipt from shop).

The pouches are produced in-house  –  we have our factory in Johannesburg. This is also where the Mydo SS Spoon range is put together too. Get in touch and pop in of you are ever in the area. Contact Sean on umzimkulu@gmail.com.

If your local tackle store doesn’t stock The Mydo, click on over to the website at https://thesardine.co.za/mydo/ and order online.

Or use the menu at the top of this page to navigate the Mydo range.

Bazaruto marlin biting: Captain Duarte Rato checking in…

Bazaruto marlin biting: Captain Duarte Rato checking in…

It’s always an absolute delight to open my inbox and see something, anything from Captain Duarte Rato. Duarte has developed a bad reputation among the marlin of our waters, between Bazaruto, Inhaca, Vamizi, Madeira, Cape Verde – he has been sticking tags into big shiny shoulders for many a year – he must have pin pricked thousands of billfish…!

Hope all good. I know it is off season and not much normally going on this side but just want to tell you that the fishing as been absolutely ballistic of the Bazaruto Archipelago the last couple of months. I have not been out much but the boys on Vamizi have been hammering it. I had a client from CT come for 3 days late April and they caught and released something ridiculous like 70 odd game fish over that time. There as been good numbers of cuda, queen mackerel and kingfish but it is the Yellowfin tuna that is running the show and they are all over the place. With so much game fish and bait fish (skipjack and frigate bonito) it is no wonder that the Marlin seem to have forgotten to look at the calendar this year and they boys have been catching a good number of Blacks between 100 and 300 pounds (but up to 600) in the last month and a half! Considering they are not really targeting them and that we are in May…it is insane! But hey, I did not hear anyone complain! A few sailies showing as well and as we go into winter they should arrive in good numbers…..

PS: On my way to Cape Verde on Monday for 5 weeks. They are having an insane Marlin season there…I mean mind blowing! The top boat has released something like 170 odd Blue Marlin in the first 30 days of fishing….that is an average of 6 Blues a day!!!

BRING IT ON!!!!!”

Thank you Duarte, I feel like a pinhead in your presence!
