[Japanese Anglers' Voice] Keitech Sexy Impact [Review]

-

 Keitech Impact series. Swing Impact, Live Impact, Shad Impact, and Sexy Impact.  If my memory is correct, Sexy Impact is the most latest Impact series bait. 

 Yeah, this looks sexy. The straight shape with a pintail is designed to produce lifelike movements. Any actions given would be transmitted to the pintail through the perfectly engineered body making great tail action, which looks just like live bait. And yes, Keitech's strong squid scent is contained.

Sexy Impact!

Line ups

  They have mini, slim, original, and long. For saltwater, I'm using mini 3.5". 

  •  2.8” / 1.5g
  •  3.8” / 3.3g
  •  4.8" / 6.3g
  •  5.8" / 10.6g
 The body has a 2 tone color. The back and belly have different a color that would make awesome contrasts in the water. 

Waki's recommendation.

Weightless rig.

 Keitech official website recommends this rig. 4.8" and 5.8" models have enough weight to use for a weightless rig. 4.8" would be good for a spinning tackle. 5.8" can be good for a baitcaster. 

 Let's set it on the weightless Texas rig and cast it and make it swim right under the water surface, 

Jig head rig.

 Setting this lure on a jig head, we would be able to have great tail action easily. The amazing pintail action would catch fish for sure.

 I used this with a darter-type jig head using for the BOTTOM WIND technique. It caught White Seabass! You can check it ou on my Youtube channel.

[Light Bottom Wind] Japanese Secret technique caught White Seabass.

Drop shot rig

 Yes. This straight shape body looks great for a drop shot. 2.8" for finesse drop shot rig would be a killer rig. Tightly shaking the line, it would just look like fish suspend in the water. Just slowly dragging the drop shot weight, the pintail would modestly shake like a wound fish. 

Neko rig

 I believe Keitech used to have a Neko rig version of this lure. The one that has a hook hanger (plastic tube) for a wacky style hook rigging. Anyway, the shape looks perfect for the Neko rig setting.  

Texas rig

 I believe this bait would be great working for the Texas rig. It would perfectly imitate small fish like Gobby pecking the bait on the bottom. To fish cover. this lure can go dive into the deep inside it.

The voices from Japanese anglers.

  • 👍 Amazing lifelike action! 
  • 👍 Productive. Tons of fish.
  • 👍 My secret weapon.
  • 👍 Couple with finesse rigs, this can catch fish in the highly pressured spot.
  • 👍 4.8" is good for BFS.
  • 👍 This is... baitfish!
  • 👍 Another great lure Professor (Kei Hayashi) made!
  • 👍 If this lure can't catch fish, it means there are no fish.
  • The blister pack can be too bulky...
  • The tail can easily rip off. 
Go! Keitech!

 Thank you!

Be Free Texas rig / JUNGLEGYM Beans Sinker. A new Japanese style Texas rig.

Be Free Texas rig / JUNGLEGYM Beans Sinker Be Free Texas rig. Today, I’ll introduce a Japanese rig you may have not seen yet. This is it. BE FREE TEXAS using Jungle Gym Beans Sinker. This rig is very popular in Japan, especially for Saltwater Rockfish fishing.  Jungle Gym is a small fishing brand, which has produced lots of Rockfish gear. This is Beans Sinker, designed for fishing a rocky bottom. This unique design provides a better snag-free capability. A rig using this weight is called BE FREE TEXAS. A short version is BIFUTEKI. I guess BE FREE means “Being free from snag”. BE FREE TEXAS using Beans Sinker would be an interesting rig for all of you who love Texas, Free, and Jika rig. This sinker can be used just like a bullet weight. But the shape is totally different.  Top narrow, bottom big. Teardrop shape. This bottom-heavy shape provides a stable form when we cast a rig. Means a long-distance cast. And this also would fall vertically than the bullet weight. Just like a F

[Fishing Tips] TAMO AMI. Japanese landing net - FISHING JAPANESE STYLE

 When I first time moved to North America, I was surprised that I could not find any telescopic landing pole.  In Japan, Tamo-ami タモ網 is very popular and we can find it at any fishing store. It has a telescopic pole and net. The telescopic could be from 2m to 6m. When we fish from the rock, cliff, jetty, pier, etc.. we need a landing net with a very long pole. The telescopic landing pole makes it.  I introduce a Japanese-style landing net/pole. Tamo Ami.  In the U.S. (and Canada), I could not find it. So I bought some in Japan and brought it back. When I was into Bass Fishing, it was not always necessary. Since in many cases, I was fish at the water edge and could easily hand-landing the fish. But when I used Jerkbait with 3 triple hooks, the landing net was very useful. Multi triple hooks can be very dangerous for hand landing.  Then I started saltwater fishing a couple of years ago here in Southern California. The landing net got to be very important for me. I often fish from the roc

[Saltwater Fishing] Go Finesse for Saltwater fishing, too! - FISHING JAPANESE STYLE

Bass fishing technique for Saltwater - Finesse approach  I've been into Bass fishing for over 10 years.  I used to be a saltwater-only angler who's chasing Japanese seabass in Tokyo bay every night. I honestly said I did not have any good image for Bass fishing. At that time in Japan, a HUGE Bass fishing movement had been happening. Lots of young anglers made a long line at the fishing tackle store seeking cool lures like MEGABASS lures. As a saltwater fisherman, I saw it with a cynical smile.  But in 2008, I moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I spent 3 years there. In Ontario, there was no chance to fish saltwater since no ocean there. I went to lakes, rivers, and canals. I tried my luck with a small spinner and got a surprising catch! It was Smallmouth bass! At that time, Smallmouth bass was a very rare species in Japan. Wow. Cool! I also caught Largemouth bass, Northan Pike, Yellow perch, Crappie, Walleye, etc, etc. Super cool!! Since then, I've been a
