Many people I meet at fishing spots have asked me for a downsized version of the Swiss Dropper FB. In fact, development of version 1.8 started at the same time as version 2.5, but incorporating the FB structure into a small size required quite a bit of skill, so there was a lot of trial and error with the development team. In addition to simply loading the FB, it was also necessary to faithfully reproduce the combination of "exquisite horizontal posture" and "glamorous slow fall" in No. 1.8, so we carried out uncompromising development work on site. Ta. Since No. 1.8 is often used not only for weight rigs but also as a dropper for metal rigs, we have taken into account the presence or absence of pulling resistance and response to invitations, and aim not only to make it smaller but also to create a dropper that can be used for fishing at the actual fishing level. I did.
I think everyone has experienced the fact that when you can't catch squid, you just change the size of the egi, but in actual fishing tests, we have used 2.5 and 1.8 size fish in exactly the same color, just changing the size. It was not uncommon for squid that did not respond to suddenly start riding. I am convinced that this is what everyone is looking for. When you can catch something, you can catch anything, but what do you think about when you can't catch anything? Incorporating size exchange into those options will make the game much easier to assemble.
In fact, size exchanges often yield better results than color exchanges. In addition, even if the size of the egi is small, the Japanese squid often has the experience of being held by a larger squid. This leads me to want the size 1.8 mentioned earlier, but the more I do it, the more variation I want in the size of the egi. Truly strategic downsizing. If you don't hold it in size 2.5, use size 1.8! I would like everyone to experience this. Enjoy the new Swiss Dropper FB 1.8 in your box this summer.
