DNA Japan Part2 - How do you pronounce Ima?
Season 1, Ep. 7
•
We're back, back, back! Having mostly recovered from jet lag, aggressive cold symptoms and single-handedly propping up the Japanese economy we offer some more truth nuggets from our trip to Japan which mainly consists of what we spent our money on and when buyers remorse kicks in.
To kick us off we have the legend that is George Cunningham easing us into episode 7 with the most epic of intros. Recorded in a busy Japanese bar, at a very late hour, after a few refreshing beers. Complete with background noise, it sets the standard in the very best way. For those that don't know, George is the head of Tronixpro and HTO, as well of a host of other well known brands, and his influence on the UK lure fishing scene has been remarkable. We love you big G!
As the title suggests we don't know how to say Ima, or IMA. Is it I.M.A or not? Hopefully our IMA correspondent will clarify. Anyway, we finally have a listener (question) to answer, and we almost reveal (by mistake) our most successful lure for catching BIG reservoir Perch.
Thanks for taking the time to listen. As ever we appreciate every one of you. Spring will be with us soon. Tight lines, catch that PB, Dan & Ad

15. The Butterfly Blenny Effect
01:17:31||Season 1, Ep. 15Trophy fish come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and if you know anything of our work you'll know that we adore the smaller, more obscure species that inhabit our shores. Today's topic is the diminutive little Butterfly Blenny which we have been lucky enough to stumble upon and on a recent July trip we went back to see if they're where we left them almost two years ago. We also get into a game of fish target Top Trumps which could've been a whole episode on its own.Thanks for all your comments and may you soon catch a rarity.Dan & Ad.
14. DNA does the Sea Angling Classic 2024

01:41:24||Season 1, Ep. 13Summer Zander fishing is a rare treat for us, we're usually getting salt on our lures in June but we had to fish this event for many reasons and not least to catch giant Zander in shallow water.....or so we thought!Join us as we break down our weekend away Zander fishing hoping to get another podium finish at Graham Water.
12. 'DNA Versus'. Round Two. Wrasse Pro
41:50||Season 1, Ep. 12Here we go. As promised, our latest DNA Versus episode is the inaugural edition of ‘Wrasse Pro’, fishing head-to-head against each other out on the boat. Big colourful Ballan Wrasse are the target and in a slight twist we weigh all captures to gain our total top five fishes combined weight, inline with what we've come to see in the US bass fishing tournaments. We've never put a Ballan on the scales at sea before so what does a 40cm Wrasse weigh? You're about to find out. This was a lot of fun to record so please sit back and place your bets. Wrasse Pro is about to begin. Do check out hard.rockfishing.co.uk for all the lures, rods and tackle we used through the day, as well as pictures of the stunning Ballan Wrasse.Tight lines, Dan & Ad

9. DNA does Lure Live at the Big One
38:44||Season 1, Ep. 9Welcome aboard. We're back, back ,back with a very late episode that covers our visit to the Big One show and more specifically the Lure Live section ran by Predator tackle. It was a nice gauge of where the lure scene is at in the UK and whilst it isn't yet shoulder barging the Carp guys into the long grass it's certainly holding its own. We spent a few quid, met some great people and ate some wonderful cake. Please sit back, fluff up a cushion and excuse the poor audio. Like and subscribe when you can. Enjoy the tightest of lines, Dan & Ad
