Named "Tenya Tachiuo" in Japan, the Tenya saber is specifically designed to fish this atypical predator. This pelagic has a long, very flat serpentine body. It measures an average of 1.20 to 1.80 m but can exceed 2 m for a weight of around 5 kg. Able to see perfectly in the darkness of the abyss thanks to its large eyes, this ferocious predator has an impressive jawbone with long, particularly sharp teeth. Among the wide range offered by the brand, he chose two specific models adapted to fishing in our waters which are now available on the French market:
the Tegaki is the tool that is used for performing ikejime. It is very similar to the technique used on frogs in laboratories called spiking or pithing.
The Shout Ringed Kudako is designed as a tail hook for poppers and stickbaits. A solid ring has been fitted to the eye of a strong Kudako hook making them ideal for rigging lures with a vertical eyelet on the tail end. The Ringed Kudako is considered to be the strongest tail hook available on the market today.
