Ima Bass Ninja Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I am in Japan for work and had a chance this weekend to go to a tackle shop that is near by. Come to find out it is one of the bigger ones in the area. It was interesting to walk around a look at all the different lures and other items available. These things sure are expensive though. Prices are on the pics and right now I think its about 90yen / $1. BTW over here daiwa rules the roost ...sorry shimano fans. Any way here's some pics. 3 Quote
jhoffman Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Can you find me a left handed pixy for $175? If so send me a pm. I can find righties but not lefites at that price. Quote
Hooked_On_Bass Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Great stuff! I would love to tour the tackle shops in Japan. Thing is, I'd be leaving with a VERY lean wallet. Thanks for sharing. Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted April 7, 2013 Super User Posted April 7, 2013 Cool Pics ~ And you didn't pick up anything ? Isn't there a Japanese Bait Monkey ? You're a strong Human.

Ima Bass Ninja Posted April 7, 2013 Author Posted April 7, 2013 I didn't buy to much on this trip. Just a spinnerbait and a top water called the bolt trigger by jack all. I have lots more pics but they wouldn't upload so I will try again tonight. We have another trip plan this coming weekend to either the same place or a different one with one of our Japanese friends so we will see how light the wallet is after that. Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted April 8, 2013 Super User Posted April 8, 2013 That first reel pictured looks awesome. Some sort of Alphas variant probably. Thanks for the pics! Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted April 8, 2013 Author Posted April 8, 2013 Ok i think i got it now. Here are some more pics Quote
fishingman88 Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Ahhhh, I don't know what I am going to when I visit Japan. You are a strong strong person for being able to resist buying JDM reels Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted April 8, 2013 Super User Posted April 8, 2013 The last pic, the scorpion xt, was under 200$ and you didn't buy it new. shame on you. Quote
