Super User WRB Posted December 9, 2010 Super User Posted December 9, 2010 I love trying new stuff no doubt and alot of great new stuff comes from Japan. But as a tournament angler I can say they are not my style. Most of the techniques are geared for finesse and while they do catch some big fish I am usually better off on most lakes using a more power approach especially since our lakes here have 15in limits for the most part and don't have quality smallies or spots. Not saying they don't work but they are better suited to smallmouth and spotted bass and lakes with 12 in size limits. You don't see many major tournaments won on drop shots where Spots or Smallies are not the main target unless its out west where 12in fish are what you need. I completely disagree with that theoretical "finesse" emphasis you are supposing, don 't see any difference between wacky rigging a 3 inch senko and fishing it with 6 lb test than rigging a 6 inch senko and fishing it with 14 lb test, and many example can be made; finesse is not about how small are your baits, how thin is your line or how light is your rod, finesse is how deliberately slow is your approach. Finesse is about attention to detail and accurately targeting bass, the opposite of power fishing and cover water fast. Aaron Martens is a classic example of a finesse fisherman who won the Elite 2007 CA delta event using a 4" drop shot Roboworm with 75+ lbs., not 12" bass. We adopted the drop shot presentation from Japan, Japan adopted the Roboworm technology from CA. WRB Quote

Bassnajr Posted December 24, 2010 Posted December 24, 2010 The Jackall Deka Hama Ku Ru is the best topwater bait ever made!!! It is a work of art on the end of your line AND it just catches fish. IF you can find them (I bought one online from Japan for $20.00 shipped) in the color you want you are VERY lucky!! I perfer the lipless model not the wake version. I wonder if all the LC's on the market right now are totally made in Japan??? Quote
