Move over BAPE x Daiwa there’s a new Japanese fishing collab in town — this time seeing Pokémon team up with DUO. Taking on the shape of Pikachu and Kyogre, the lures are a “slow jitter type” and “crawler type,” respectively.

The Pikachu topwater jitterbug lure sees three hooks with the very-far back treble attached to its removable tail. The Kyogre features blue feathers, duralumin wings, and two blue hooks. Each purchase will also come with a commemorative sticker.

Priced at ¥2,480 and ¥4,980 JPY ($23 and $46 USD) for the Pikachu and Kygore, respectively, these lures can be found now over at DUO’s Backdoor Project website.
