Hampala Macrolevidota

Hampala species is a barb family. This predator fish also knowin as Jungle Perch. This named by the habitat of this kind species which living in deep forest. In Indonesian Archipleago you may find this kind species from Sumatera Island, Borneo Island and Java Island. This species now in level rare because from the changed of condition from the fish habitat.
In Java Island specialy this kind predator fish only can saw in a couple of river mainly in big river which down from the mountain.

In my neigboarhood region of Central Java we can fins in Bengawan Solo River which start from Wonogiri. In times when i go doing baitcaster the most record that fish i seen in 50cm with weight almost 4kgs. Record number caught by my friend. At least my own record under it in 43cm weight about2,5kgs.
As an lure maker me also try using my own lure that i made. And I did it by mini popper with single treble hook behind, some kind minnow, and the most that i loved by stickbait. This predator fish very atractif in top water hunting. But if you wana keep spend your energy you can try by mini spoon its also their favorite lures.

This predator is the most agresif fresh water fish. They can fight by swimming in fast water river. This species living in sandness and rockin river. To keep their habibat we are always using catch and release system for their future in next dekade. The rare fish predator as mascot of baitcasting should we keep from danger exploitation. We try educated all angler to do the same even some of them riject this kind system. If we dont start now i think will be late in next future, So...are you agree???

Giant Snakehead Top Fresh Water Predator

Giant Snakehead (channa micropeltes) is Top Fresh Water Predator. A native fish from Borneo Island and Sumatera can be huge untill 20 kgs, this is big fish monster. Today in America this Giant Snakehead become an invasive fish. But in Indonesia which people free fishing every day this fish not actually as threat fish. People still using ilegal fishing metode to find and catch a fish.
In Java island this Giant Snakehead adapted with the ecosystem in Java Island. The most succesfull introducing this species in Cirata West Java. Nowdays many place provide this species as sport fishing agenda. Some fishing pound use this Giant Snakehead as a mascot of their sport fishing pound.

Succesfull programing in Cirata Lake giving some idea to another place in Java island to introduce int the fresh water ecosystem. Most people still giving doubted answer for this kind idea. They are aware when this species invasifed to the native fish in Java but nowday the nile fish which not a native fish invasif first before this species. More read about Waduk Mulur reservoir
To make a balance the ecosystem i think this Giant Snakehead can be a balancer for the Nile Fish. Giant Snakehead has a big power to fight as a predator fish more than  others Snakehead family. One of the purpose to introduce Giant Snakehead into fresh water in Java Island for sport fishing recreation, but before that we should take a survey about the ecosystem to reducing the impact of damage for ecosystem.
Giant Snakehead aka Toman can be an Indonesian Fresh Water mascot, this species has a beautifull skin like a Batik hand crafted painting. So we should keep this still alive and save them from rarely damage. What about you?

K-Lures Strike is Never End

Dengan tagline K-Lures Strike is Never End mempunyai makna bahwa kitapun wajib menjaga alam khususnya ekosistem air agar kita tetap dapat Strike dan tiada berhenti. Salah satu yang menjadi misi K-Lures adalah edukasi tentang pentingnya menjaga keseimbangan alam khususnya perairan untuk generasi masa datang. K-Lures secara konsisten mencoba untuk memberikan pembelajaran tentang pentingnya menjaga alam khususnya perairan kita yang saat ini dalam kondisi yang sangat memprihatinkan.

Kepedulian K-Lures salah satunya adalah dengan sistem Catch and release bagi ikan dalam golongan predator langka serta melakukan relokasi ke tempat yang sekiranya aman serta untuk menyebarkan species agar lingkungan kembali pulih seperti sebelumnya.
Di tempat kami khususnya ilegal fishing masih marak karena belum ada perda yang mengatur tentang perlindungan terhadap air tawar. Namun kita tetap berjuang untuk memberikan edukasi dan menyadarkan masyarakat luas tentang pentingnya untuk menjaga konsistensi sumber daya hewani khususnya ikan. Jika ikan melimpah siapa yang akan diuntungkan? tentu keuntungan juga akan kembali kepada kita sebangai angler.
Strike is Never End bukan hanya sekedar slogan semata karena didalamnya ada maksud untuk menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem perairan khususnya ekosistem air tawar. Jika kita ingin selalu strike ketika melakukan trip mancing seharusnya kita tidak over explore atau menguras habis isi dari spot yang kita tuju, jika dalam istilah adalah pilah dan pilih sesuai dengan layak tidaknya untuk ikan dikonsumsi jika memang tujuan kita mancing untuk tujuan konsumsi.
Dalam pemasaran produk pun kami mencoba mengajak para pelanggan K-Lures untuk sedikit demi sedikit menjaga dan turut berperan dalam visi dan misi kami. Kita memang menjual produk untuk mancing tetatpi kami juga peduli dengan habitat ikan predator agar kelak kitapun masih bisa menikmati sensasi strike dari predator air tersebut.
