Usage tips and recommended rigs for the Armer

To fully leverage the potential of the Armer, here are some practical usage tips:

For the best results with your Armer lure, prioritize the classic Hato Ika or Ika Leader rig as the main weight. Ideally pair it with TOTO Sutte or Oppai positioned above the leader to target multiple types and effectively provoke the aggression of cephalopods.

Regarding fishing technique, perform slow ascents combined with regular stops at different depths to accurately determine where cephalopods are located. Preferably use a sensitive and responsive rod to clearly feel every strike and execute quick and precise sets.
