A collaboration collection between the popular fishing line of “Columbia” called Columbia PFG and the fishing community from the fashion and culture web magazine “HOUYHNHNM” is now on sale.

The lineup features 5 models that are suitable for everyday use.

HOUYNHNM FISHING CLUB is a fishing community with the ethos of being in contact with nature while remaining casual which is encapsulated with the slogan “have fun & chill out”. Its members are known for enjoying fashion while being outdoors and bass fishing is particular popular.

The collaboration consists of 5 unique items developed under the supervision of HOUYNHNM FISHING CLUB.

Despair Bay Jacket ¥27500

The jacket is based on the “Log River Jacket” from PFG’s archives and is equipped with water repellent “Omni Shield + Molecular Oil Repellent”. It features 9 pockets of various sizes on the front, so has excellent storage capacity. The logo on the left chest can actually be used as a rod holder which is a very handy and surprising gimmick.

Despair Bay Convertible Pants ¥14300

This is also developed based on the archive item the “Mackenzie Parker”. It is a convertible design that can be half or long, so you can wear it across many seasons, mainly from July to October. If you wear it with shorts, it will be perfect for boat fishing in midsummer.

Cheat Loop PFG Shoulder ¥5830

Next is an original shoulder bag with a main compartment designed to fit a typical small tackle box. The front out pocket playfully incorporates the same details as a fishing vest. The shoulder belt has a convenient D-ring and daisy chain for hanging small items, and a bottle holder is also included so you can carry drinks.

Pacific Point 2-Way Sunshade PFG Bucket ¥6930

Pacific Point PFG cap ¥6160

Both the bucket hat and cap have a removable chin strap. Not only can they be worn outside on windy days, but if you remove the chin strap, you can also easily use them in the city. This is also equipped with an Omni-Shield, so you can avoid light rain and splashes when landing a boat.
