Japan Fishing Stores

After my post about fishing stores in Tokyo (see here) I have received many comments and emails from anglers looking for more information and some advice.

After my visit to Tokyo I had the chance to go to Osaka and Kyoto as a tourist. As usual I spent one full day looking for the best fishing shops available in the area. I will write a report about those stores very soon here on my blog. I can recommend two stores in Osaka and one big in Kyoto. This would be a great start :)

Keep tuned

Another Reel to Review Soon: Shimano Biomaster SW 4000XG

I am really packed with stuff to review on my blog. First my trip to Tokyo, then my new Daiwa Procyon 2500 reel and my latest toy the Biomaster SW 4000XG. I am trying hard to spare some time for these posts because I want to come up with something of quality.
I got my Daiwa Procyon as a medium power reel to fill with 1.2 PE and enjoy some seabass fishing here in Turkey with the Yamaga Blanks Early.
 The Biomaster SW 4000XG will be my medium-heavy reel for some fishing in the Aegean Sea. It will match my custom 8.6ft  15-58gr. St. Croix blank rod nicely.  I also got some YGK Jigman4  2.0PE to fill the spool.
Stay tuned...

Angler's High

There is one form of lure fishing that I consider being at the top of the fishing "pyramid".
Imagine yourself on a rock, standing 10 metres high from the sea and casting heavy lures or jigs seeking some aggressive heavyweight pelagic fish. Equipped with 10ft heavy duty rods, 6000 Saltiga Reels, 60 gr. lures to cast to the infinite Ocean.

This is literally what this brave angler from Japan is doing and sharing it all on his personal page Angler's High.
The site is simple in design but the amount of reports, photos and links are mesmerizing.
It seems that the site got so much attention on the net that he started including a special English page (see here).
There isn't much else to add. Just have a look at the reports and be ready for some great pics. This guy lands enormous GT's from shore at night. Enough said. Enjoy!! A+

Big lures and Hiramasa. Amazing combo!
