The best new fishing reel at the recent AFTA show was the Team Daiwa Viento baitcaster.Innovation was an important factor in the judges’ decision on new products.

The Daiwa Viento features a new “twitchin’ bar” which enables you to retrieve a lure in minute jerks up to a full revolution of the spool; the innovation is that you can do this using only the thumb of the hand holding the rod.

How good is that? With this high-quality reel, you can seductively work a lure through the strike zone and scratch your butt at the same time.

The downrigging phenomenon continues to gain momentum as more and more anglers realise the potential of downrigging to get baits and lures down deep to increase their catch.

Among the many new products from Scotty are these 6 and 12” Downrigger Pedestal Risers. These risers are designed for the bigger manual and electric downriggers and are used to give more clearance by lifting them above the level of the boat rails.Constructed from fibre-reinforced nylon and 50 mm stainless steel tubing, these Risers are designed for use with all Scotty Downrigger mounts. With many bigger boats now using Scotty downriggers, these are an important addition to the range.
