In search of the best outerwear. Find the HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB's winter attire at Daiwa.

Winter is a time for enjoying fashionable outfits while sheltering from the cold. Depending on the outerwear you wear, going out will be more comfortable and your steps will be lighter. This is also true for fishing. Warm outerwear is indispensable when fishing in extremely cold weather against the wind and nature. This time, HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB searches for a piece of clothing that will make you want to go fishing even in the cold. If you go to all that trouble, make sure it is a design that can be used not only for fishing but also for town use!

Winter fishing wear to beat the cold.

Winter fishing is a time when the cold is hard on the body. Fish also move slower, but the joy of catching a fish is even greater. Some species of fish are in season in winter, which makes people want to go fishing even in the cold. The basic premise for enjoying such a season is to be prepared for the cold. And since you will be playing near the water, waterproofness is also a prerequisite for choosing the right outerwear. To immerse yourself in fishing without any worries, it is essential to have the right clothes.

HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB, which is determined to enjoy fishing this year despite the cold weather, came to "Casting Higashikurume Store". This is a large store that offers a wide variety of fishing tackle, from bait to lures, for ocean, mountain stream, and black bass fishing, as well as a wide selection of apparel and accessories. I usually head straight for the fishing tackle section, but this time I decided to take a closer look at DAIWA's apparel.

Director of HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB . . "The clothes I wear for fishing are mostly an extension of my regular clothes. In winter, I wear a shell or down jacket with a heat-generating inner layer, but I have been looking for better warm clothes. I don't feel motivated when it's cold, so I want to get one that's warm and easy to fish in."

Mr. Hollywood is the sales manager for N. HOOLYWOOD. I want to concentrate on fishing, so my first priority in winter is to keep warm. . I wear a lot of layers anyway. Wind is also a big enemy, so I try to wear outerwear made of GORE-TEX ®️, which is also windproof. I look forward to seeing what kind of clothing they sell.

To be honest, this is the first time for me to take a good look at the apparel section of a fishing tackle shop. I'd like to choose one that is not only warm and waterproof, but also in terms of design and coloring."
