A few things I want to acquire

The big fishing show in Japan is happening right now, and this is when they introduce many rods/reels/lures and so on to the world (well, Japan). It is then that I start wishing that some of those products make it to the USA. Last year Shimano Japan released the Aldebaran, a reel lighter than the Steez, a few months later, after rumors and much talk, Shimano USA released their version of it; the Core 50Mg, which I immediately purchased.

Jackall Bros. however, as like many other Japanese brands do not send out many of the products to the USA. A rod that caught my interest that I mentioned in a previous post is Jackalls "Bait Finesse" from their Poison Heritage lineup. A 6'7" rod rated for 3/32-1/4oz, perfect for the light fishing I love to do. Now if only I understood Japanese, here's Ty Ono, CEO of Jackall Bros, explaining the new rod at the 2010 Osaka Fishing Show in Japan. I'll be sure to get this rod once it's released in Japan. My wallet won't be happy.



Here's a few items that caught my eye:
Shimano ScorpionXT1000 (Aluminum version of the Aldebaran)
Shimano Scorpion Baitcast Rod
Shimano Final Dimension Rod
Various Jackall Hard Lures and Plastics

Half way there...

My new setup is halfway complete. I got my reel and line, just waiting for my rod from Japan to arrive. This setup will be used for flick shaking, ultra light jigs, and "i motion" fishing. I can't wait!

Reel: Shimano Stradic Ci4 1000F
Line: Sunline Super FC Sniper 5#

Finally

Close to three months without a bass! Caught two today. The fisrt bass of 2010!

First one was off of Jackall Dum Dum Hog 4" Texas rigged. Casted out and let it sink, suddenly got heavy, set the hook and it pulled hard like a big 5+ lb fish. Turns out to be close to 3 lbs. One of the hardest pulling 3 lb fish I ever caught.

The 2nd fish came off the Jackall Super J Reaper rigged on a Zappu Mustang Head 1/16th oz. Twitching the lure and it gets heavy again, set the hook for another fish around 3 lbs.
