The edition was officially launched at the Sonee Hardware outlet at Boduthakurufaanu Magu by Managing Director and the edition’s exclusive rights holder Mr. Moosa Kaleem.
Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Moosa Kaleem said it was the first time Japan’s Shimano developed a products’ special series and hailed it as a major achievement for Sonee Hardware and for Maldives which is a top destination for angler’s from all over the world.
Mr. Moosa Kaleem added that it was an honour that a world leading company designed a product range after a small country like the Maldives.
The swim baits have been modelled and designed with the most common bait fish commonly hunted by large predatory fish in the Maldives. The edition boasts four unique colours which is designed after trigger fish, round scad, flying fish and fusilier.
The Shimano Maldives Edition was specially designed under the direction of Mr. Moosa Kaleem and the artwork was done by Muart.
The edition is currently used and sold in several countries including Japan, Australia, Russia, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Seychelles and several European countries.
