APS-TV

Since we are writing about fishing videos websites I have to mention another great one I have found a couple of months ago while googling some japanese fishing sites.

APS-TV is a website that offers hundreds of cool fishing video for free. To my understanding, they stream videos made by famous Japanese tackle companies like Evergreen, Smith Ltd., Jackall, Daiwa, Coreman and so on.
They range from bass fishing to seabass and offshore jigging.
Really worth checking it!

Shimano TV

If you are so passionate about lure fishing like me you probably know this amazing website already, but I am going to share it on blog anyway.
Shimano Japan has an great video section named Shimano TV. Here you can watch hundreds of incredible fishing videos in high quality. They are divided by categories. If you use a browser with an online translation you can navigate easily.
The only downside is that there is no translation or closed caption in English, but still the quality of the images and the fishes make them worth watching every time.
Great Site A+

Let's Go Fishing! by DUEL

This is a very cute tutorial that introduces to saltwater lure fishing.It is made by Duel and it can be found here.

Very basic info but I like the effort and the drawings. Also the section includes an introduction to Eging. In the future they will introduce Offshore lure fishing, jigging, freshwater fishing and so on.

Worth checking. 

SHOUT! For Your Big Dream!

If you are looking for some heavy duty jigging terminal tackle and jigs, you cannot skip this amazing Japanese company. SHOUT! is a company specialized in jigging (both vertical and shore). They offer high quality products such as jigs, hooks, assist cord, heavy duty split rings, solid rings, PE knot tools, bag and different accessories for the hardcore jigger.
I personally use their assist cord, jaco hooks for shore jigs and the small, very effective Dangan series casting jigs.

This is how the company describes itself, very striking and poetic nonetheless!




"Each of us has his own hopes and own dreams in life.Some of us choose a life of fishing,
and put a part of ourselves into it.
As if possessed by a force welling up within us, 
we put all of our hearts and souls into battle against the spirit of the sea.
A man bears the burden of yesterday’s failures on his back, and prays that today be the day for revenge.
He continues to visualize the giant fish unseen by the eyes,
and focuses all of his day’s energy there upon.
He has faith in his tackle and tools to make happen, 
and the time shall come when his dream is to be realized.
Yet the dream never ends, and the time spent pursuing 
the dream is filled with knowingness of being alive.What a lucky man!
Now is the time to challenge your own limits and redefine your own boundaries.
To jiggers everywhere chasing after the dream of the spirit of the sea, 
to make possible today what couldn’t be achieved yesterday: Shout! 2011."
