It's back now!? Nice!! I need to order some new stuff!

Hello! Gary Yamamoto Fat Ika is a great bait popular in Japan. I just posted my new video "Yamamoto Fat Ika Perfect Guide" introducing how Japanese bass anglers are using it. It's good for cover fishing but can be a versatile bait good for many situations. Hope everybody enjoys my video. h...

Drop Shot Rig. One of the standard rigs for bass fishing. It used to be called Tsunekichi rig (常吉リグ) in Japan. The genius angler, Haruhiko Murakami (村上晴彦) founder of the lure brand Tsunekichi, introduced this rig over 20 years ago in Japan. At that time, everybody just got surprised and shocked! WTH...

I usually use Gary Yamamoto soft plastics for this rig like Senko, Kut tail, and Fat Ika. This time, I used Tail Le...

But the weight moves up and down smoothly than the bullet weight because of less friction. From that point of view, this rig can b...
