Another great video! That pink lure you used is very similar to the Jackall Pompadour we can get here in the U.S. I ordered two SPRO Creepers and have been trying them here on the rivers where I live in West Virginia. No luck yet but this is a VERY high pressure area to fish in and I have no boat...just limited to fishing from shore.
Thank you so much for always watching. I was surprised because I didn't know that jackal pompadours are sold in the US as well! I love pompadours too and last year I was throwing them all year long. It is a very good fishing lure. From a Japanese point of view, I thought that America is the home of bass fishing, so you can catch a lot of fish, but I guess it is not so, and the pressure from fishermen is the same regardless of the country.
@@user-wn2ky1bl5f As far as pressure goes, there are places (states) here in the U.S. that have to have a "fishing season" to regulate populations due to having so many fishermen in the areas. However, there are some places, like in Texas where I grew up, where you can catch fish on a bare hook...I did it as a kid. And I don't remember a time we went on a fishing trip and came home empty handed. There's a channel here on TY you'd love. His name is Matt and the channel is NDYakAngler. He fishes in an area that is VERY well stocked...he even has videos of catching fish using a LEGO Chewbacca toy.
Commenting again to help with the algorithm! I wish I could get the topwater lures here that you have there. I just saw a Yamato Crawler Skillful on eBay listed for almost 20,000 yen...way too much for me! There are a few Japanese lure companies online here but they are all so expensive that I can't afford them. I try to stay under 2400 yen for lures and many want twice that for a nice loud topwater lure. I think of making my own sometimes since I'm a woodworker...lol.
Yamato crawlers are very popular in Japan and are sold at more than double the list price at internet auctions, but I was surprised at 20,000 yen! I also try not to buy too many expensive lures so that I don't go bankrupt from buying too much fishing tackle (lol). Making your own lures is a good idea! I'm an auto mechanic, but I'm so clumsy that I gave up on it too early, so I support making your own lures!
@@user-wn2ky1bl5f Yeh...I think someone may be traveling back and forth between here and there and coming back with a suitcase full of lures to sell on eBay...not a BAD idea. You might be able to sell some on Etsy. My contact for getting Hinoki Cypress is a man in Japan who sells Hinoki boards on Etsy to Customers in the U.S. because it can't be imported here commercially due to dumb federal regulations. Might help fund your passion.
