Description
The interest towards fly fishing for non-salmonids species in Europe has increased considerably during the last decade or so and the main focus has clearly been on the northern pike. Vision has been extremely active in this field and obtained an excellent position on these constantly growing markets with its pike related product families aptly named as Big Daddy and Big Mama. Both families include fly rods and fly lines specially designed for pike fishermen. Additionally, one can equip one’s rods with appropriately coloured Vision fly reels, tie in some serious wire as the terminal tackle and unhook the fish with proper pliers while wearing some cool pike inspired apparel. The hooks will further complement Vision’s own pike related repertoire and Vision introduced two special hooks for targeting those wild toothy critters. The names for these hooks are, surprise, surprise, Big Daddy and Big Mama. In order to get it right from the start, the team at Vision did this in collaboration with one of the best fly hook companies there is… Partridge of Redditch.
When fishing for big pike with their hard mouth you need a special hook. It needs to be strong and extremely sharp. In order to tie really big and bulky flies when needed, the hook needs to have a proper gap. When fishing in brackish water (the Baltic Sea) you need to consider corrosion related issues as well. As releasing trophy-size pikes is recommendable for various reasons, having a micro-size barb in your hook is not only good for penetration but for releasing or de-barbing as well. To bear all the above in mind, it was easy to conclude that Partridge of Redditch had the knowledge and the designs to implement the desired vision. As a result the team at Vision are very happy and very proud to introduce the extra-strong red-coloured Big Mama hooks especially for all of us who love to fish for the fast-and-furious pike.
