FINESSE REACTION. Small Lipless Crankbaits are trending now in Japan.

 Lipless Crankbaits (in Japan, we call it Vibration) are a popular lure effective for any season. Easily make a long-distance cast. Can quickly search the surface to the bottom. 

Jackall TN70.

 Checking out the internet, I found small Lipless Crankbaits are getting to be trending now in the Japanese Bass fishing market.

 Using a small metal vibration is a very popular technique to catch Winter bass. To quickly lift & fall a small metal lure to make fish a reactionary bite. But now I can see people started using a small lipless crankbait to fish in winter waters. Interesting.

 Jackall introduced TN38 (38mm). The smallest model in TN lineups. We can see the word "FINESSE REACTION" on their promotion page. Wow... "FINESSE REACTION". Sounds very interesting and I personally think this would be welcomed by the BFS community in the U.S.



 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
