TT Interview: Pro Angler Aaron Martens and DUO Head Masahiro Adachi Talk About the New Partnership

Introduction: His competitors often say, arguably, that Aaron is among the best tournament anglers on the Bassmaster tour. So it is really no surprise why he would grab the interest of high profile Japanese Lure Company like DUO. Aaron is what we would call an “analyst,” one who doesn’t just fish in the traditional sense but studies fish behavior and lure action for 30 years. (For example, I still remember at first thinking he was kidding one time over dinner when he told me that to investigate the fish holding structure under the boat he stripped down, put on his snorkeling gear and went for a swim, that’s serious dedication.) On the design and manufacturing side Mr. Adachi, the driving force behind DUO, is also well respected for his many years as a detail oriented lure designer. “It makes complete sense any professional angler would garner the opportunity to work with such enriched mastery,” said David Swendseid, US Manager and R&D Specialist of DUO International. We had the opportunity this week to sit down with Aaron Martens and Mr. Adachi of DUO to learn more about their new multi-year partnership together. Aaron, aka the “Hog Snatcher,” was noticeably excited about his opportunity.
