Wild Sea Tackle - Marcas internacionais de pesca e náutica

About four years ago, we were introduced to this remarkable diving popper called Funky Soda.
The year was 2019, and since then, Funky Soda has continued to exceed our expectations on every fishing trip around the globe.

That same year, we were working to establish a long-term partnership with a renowned Japanese brand almost entirely dedicated to this style of lure — the famous Napalm.
For reasons specific to that particular handmade producer, we were unable to finalize the agreement that would meet the growing demand from our clients and fishing friends. That said, our respect for Napalm’s quality remains intact — it is still, in our view, one of the best lures in the world.

When we were introduced to Funky Soda, manufactured by Atlantis, we immediately saw the huge potential this diving popper had with its unique identity. It resembled Napalm in some ways, but with distinct design elements that set it apart. The moment we held the first units in our hands, the reaction was unanimous: “Oh wow.” That’s when we knew this lure would be a true game changer for targeting big fish or when facing tough conditions that keep predators away from the surface.

Our PARTNERS, a select group of expert anglers who test new products with us, were thrilled and couldn’t wait to cast them. But unfortunately, the world was still in the middle of the pandemic, and most countries had closed their borders. Then, suddenly — boom — the Maldives reopened to international travelers!

We didn’t hesitate. We saw the perfect opportunity to begin our first test expeditions with Funky Soda. We immediately called our trusted fishing travel agency, Wild Sea Nomads, to organize the trip.

The results were outstanding: we had never seen a lure swim so beautifully. Of course, the crystal-clear waters of the Maldives helped highlight the elegance of its movement. From that moment on, we couldn’t stop.

Our second testing ground was the Andaman Islands, where the Funky Soda 200 delivered excellent results with mid-sized GTs.

From one fishing trip to another — and now in cooperation with two major fishing travel companies, Wild Sea Nomads and Wild Sea Expedition, led by our good friend Nicola Vitali from Italy — we set off to the final frontier of giant GTs: Socotra.
This Jurassic Park of monster GTs became the stage for the debut of the Funky Soda 260 Wood Version.

Long casts, perfectly worked with Truth rods, drew the attention of massive GTs in full topwater style.

Without a doubt, the Funky Soda is now entering the Brazilian market as a real contender to Napalm.
