• a phone-call from US tackle guru Dennis Braid last week after his recent trip to Vanuatu elicited the news that the fly-fishing speciality crew of Dean Butler and Russ Housby have relented on the softheads and a Krakatoa is finally a regular on the rigger. It seems more and more Pacific crews are making the switch to a this lure as their teaser........ 
• Italian angler David Viani reports that the Krakatoa was his "gold medal" lure on his June trip to the Cape Verdes .... beating out a host of better known lures to the title.
• the recent Bertram/Hatteras Shootout was won by Fish Tales, a Hatteras that was pulling Legend Lures ......more details to follow
• the Balancal, a 36 Lochin sportfisherman riding the traditional Madeiran big fish grounds reports that her first two fish of the season both ate a Legend Lure
• On the 25th of May, Capt Zac in the Cape Verdes said : ”Hello to all from Mindelo, yesterday was our last day fishing with Karl and Jens from Germany. They fished 6 days, and caught seven blues. Not the best in the world, but also not that bad. The last four fish up to 500lbs, was caught on Andromeda.........[she] is surely one of the best lures for us, and we just got one left ! Roddy will soon send us more. “
• Capt Olaf Grimkowski is also in the Cape Verdes, and he too is having great success with his Legend Lures. Of the fish he has caught so far, over 83% of them have been taken on our lures.
• Matt Watson, of the Ultimate Fishing Show in New Zealand, recently had a blast at the remote Wanganella banks - read what he had to say in the forums.
• Down in central America, Capt Brad Phillips of Guatemala sent us an e-mail last month saying : “The teaser of the month has proved to be the new Legend Lures 'Piper', a new style lure which Roddy Hays gave to me at the Miami boat show, it is a hot little item that the sailfish just can't leave alone”
• La Gomera is finally firing too, over in the Canary Islands off Morocco.  Capt Jason Pipe of the Bocinegro is putting the heat to some nice blue marlin, and his new 22 series Krakatoa caught two nice blue marlin on its first day in the water before being lost in battle before day's end !
