Japanese Bass fishing techniques

Ill try anything reasonable.  I like the idea of the X worms for wacky rigging. But as far as I have seen they are 2 6" worms and together thats a big bait to present.

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.

After watching a couple of those videos i noticed that the guy is fishing with a jig head that has a little propeller on it. Says its made by KATSUICHI (Decoy) anyone know anything about it?

Like that tiny propeler jig there 's a bunch of interesting terminal tackle in those videos, look at them, there 's this little piece of plastic with a hole and a tiny screw for neko rigging ( it 's called Nekomaster ) , but what 's inportant is not exactly the hardware but how it 's used. For example that video where the guy is fishing with the propeller jig, what 's is important is not the hardware per se, the hardware adds but it 's not the most important part, the most important part is the fishing technique, that technique the guy is fishing in that particular video is called Midosto ( mid strolling ) and you can practice it with a regular jighead with great results.
