[NEWS] Keitech Crazy Flapper Chinning colors

Keitech Crazy Flapper Chinning colors.

 Keitech Crazy Flapper is a really good creature-type bait that perfectly fits for Texas rig, Jika rig, and Rubber jig trailer.

 In Japan, this soft plastic is getting to be very popular as a secret weapon for Chinning. Chinning is a lure fishing genre for Chinu (Japanese Sea Bream). Chinu is one of the popular game fish targets. Traditionally, we use crabs, shrimps, mussels, and live worms to catch them. But recently, Chinu has become a popular lure-fishing target.

 This month, Keitech is launching a new size of Crazy Flapper. 2.4 inches model. I believe this one mainly targets Chinning anglers.

 This new size would be launched with 14 colors. Keitech says 5 out of 14 will be a Chinning Special Color. 

#519: EBI MISO RED COPPER

 This looks like brown, but you can use this for a situation where black works. Effective for night fishing and muddy waters.

#520: GREEN PUMPKIN ORANGE GOLD

 Good for morning and evening such as low light situations. The combination of the natural Green Pumpkin color and Orange plus gold pepper would stand out in the water.

#520: YODOGAWA CRAW

 YODOGAWA. Yodo river is the most famous spot for Chinning.  This color mimics crustaceans living in the Yodo river. This very natural color provides great versatility and can work in any field. 

#522: WATERMELON FLASH

 Modest base color and high-impact flakes. Works greatly at the right time when a field's conditions change.

#522: LIGHT WATERMELON SHRIMP

 Very natural color that blends in with the surroundings. This would be effective in high light daytime and summer, especially in areas with sandy bottom material.

Any color you're interested in? I do hope Keitech USA imports some of them!


 Thank you!

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
