First, let's take a look at the opening canes ultimate Fishing 2026 catalog the famous Tenryu that are the stuff of fishermen's dreams and bankers' nightmares. Each series is expanding its catalog, and two new ones are appearing. The first is the Namija, four models specially designed for shore fishing for sea bass. Measuring from 2m70 to 3m25, they'll also do well for asp in France! And the Ikagami, designed for cephalopod fishing. They are in the same price range as the Injection and Akuru models: around 7 to 900 euros.
A spintail/lipless
The Megabass IxI Blowly is a small floating crankbait with small cavities in the head to stabilize the lure's trajectory, improve rolling and create auditory turbulence to stimulate predators. The result of a collaboration between Yuki Ito and Katsutake Imae! The X-Blazar is another newcomer. It's a spintail with two arms: a triple and a double for the freshwater version, and two doubles for the saltwater version. And if you remove the paddle, it becomes a lipless crankbait. For soft lures, the Dark Sleeper, so formidable on pike-perch and bass, has been enriched with new colors: the 77 and 95 mm versions now come in 35 shades.
Propeller and teaser
At Duo, the Realis Spinbait Heartbee stands out. It has a small ventral propeller just in front of two noisy balls: the sound and vibration are unique! But that's not all: a little curly teaser is added to the tail hook for added visual appeal. It may look like a stuck seaweed, but it's apparently formidable during breaks... Despite its 75 mm length, it weighs just 6 g.
A cheaper Balam
From Xorus, the Yura is a five-segment, 22 cm, 100 g hard swimbait with a classic flag-like swimming action, which completes the range alongside the famous Deviant, Asturie, Z-Claw and Patchinko. The Mat Black color is particularly appealing. At Madness, the Balam "downesizes" with a 200 mm model, bringing the price down to... 130 euros.
The One Up pike-perch special
Sawamura's best-selling 5-inch One Up Shad now comes in 50 colors. If anyone has them all, please let us know! New for 2026, a V-Tail pike-perch version in 10 inches (23 cm) for 45 g. Also works well for bass. The V-Tail is a new addition to the Curly and Slug versions. Last but not least, Japanese lures, which are a little under the radar at Ultimate Fishing, are also innovating with some very strange lures, such as the Peller or the Batabata Craw by Raid, which look like they've stepped out of prehistory.
There are still some great finds to be made for cephalopod fishing or to equip yourself with goggles, lights, boxes or landing nets, as Ultimate Fishing distributes many brands through its 292-page catalog: A Band of Anglers, Maria, Fiiish and Meiho to name but a few.
