Life, like the ebb and flow of nature, unfolds with unforeseen twists and turns, revealing an intricate tapestry of experiences and revelations. From the tender age of childhood, I found myself immersed in a world of wonder and curiosity, spending endless hours in my father's workshop, eagerly assembling radio-controlled models and embarking on weekend adventures fueled by imagination.

The tumult of adolescence threatened to overshadow my dreams, pushing me to navigate the turbulent waters of uncertainty with resilience and determination. It was amidst the sparks of welding and the strokes of creativity that I found solace, channeling my passion for drawing and ingenuity into the timeless art of tattooing.

Over the course of a decade spent amidst the volcanic archipelago, I found love in the arms of my life partner, Giorgia, and rekindled my passion for fishing beneath the vast expanse of the open sea. It was during one of these fateful encounters that I came face to face with the legendary giant bluefin tuna—a moment that would forever alter the trajectory of my life.

Inspired by the daring exploits of seasoned sailors and the intricate artistry of their fishing techniques, I embarked on a quest to create the ultimate topwater fishing lure, a vision born from the convergence of past passions and present aspirations. Thus, "Slack Tide" was conceived, a testament to the alchemy of creativity and perseverance, forged in the crucible of experience and imagination.
