I'll do a review after a few more times out with it. It's tempremental with connecting to my computer. It tends to rise up in the water a lot when trolling. It can tend to roll it's way through the water. It's been pretty murky a lot of times i've been out and that has prevented me getting more footage. - I've got some more footage on a couple of videos I did in MAY. BUT it's only $99USD

That's handy to know, Might check out Shibuya next time. Toyocho was about 800M down the road from our hotel and I could go while my family was still asleep

Next time!

3hrs of footage and those are the only fish

I've found it hit and miss soft baiting at the Mussel Farm - better with bait.

Thanks for watching and commenting

Definately had a lot worse days out there, thanks for taking the time to watch

thanks for subscribing

Johshuya in Toyocho, Takyo. They have 140 store in Japan

yes credit card works there.

Thanks for the fast reply. Now you got me really excited. I am glad I don’t need to carry a wad of cash. I am planning on buying a couple electric fishing reels.

i was not looking for them, but don't remember any electric reels.

It's in the video. But Johshuya is a chain store with 140 stores across Japan. This one is in Toyocho in Tokyo.

Still on my bucket list - never caught a gurnard.

@@snappagrabba my fav eating fish. most ppl catch them with something orange *funnly enough) a slider or a softy slow bounce along the bottom," hence why i thought u let for ages. gurny will not run really they just sorta accept their fate and like when u pulled it in that snapp didnt head shake. he make me 100% yell out . ITS A GURNY.. but no. was a snap haha good vids man

It was just one of those days - part 2 out soon

I'm an Aussie Kayak Fisherman in New Zealand. Good kayak fishing scene here, but tackle stores are nothing like that one. Most are a small section, maybe 20-50SqM in a marine store or a camping/fishing/camping store.

Hope you like my other videos

Did you see all my tangles? Gets worse in part 2

At least I caught it on camera, and the 360 let me get good angles.

i didn't have it connected to me :>(. (bixpy kill switch). Had hold of kayak at all times Grabbed a coffee from the shop (not that nice), but pie was good.

I thought the same thing compared to New Zealand - thanks for the subscription.

thanks. last trip was very murky water

Tech can also be a pain in the @rse. Went out last Sunday, caught 25 snapper. Got home and found my 360 camera was set to single side record (the side pointing away from me). About 3hrs of useless footage.

@@snappagrabba must take a fair bit of time to edit as well I expect.

too long@@michaelcarter615

Same compare to prices in New Zealand

greetings back from New Zealand

Yes, and this was a softbait only comp (actually this was the day before the comp

It was a floating/diving lure, when trolling it, the lure is visible. Only issue was the lure had erratic movement and shook the camera a bit. Might try some glowbite softies and jigs.

Thousands of Soft Baits and some quite different to what we have in New Zealand, Ones with solid bars and trebbles, other that are a cross between a metal lure and a soft bait tail. Thanks for watching, hope you subscribed.

Different days different colours work and other don't. But I agree, anglers buy fishing tackle, not fish.

Yes Trout fishing is big business in New Zealand,

think I might have gotten that in Japan

Yes if you take your passport and spend more that 5000 Yen, you get 10% off.

@@snappagrabbagreat to know! Thanks for letting me know they are a VAT exempt store. I hope they also take Credit Cards😅

yes I used credit card@@tamalpias

th-cam.com/video/75CErnase7I/w-d-xo.html love my Stella 3000

They have a price including tax price, that Japan residents pay, and a tax free price that if you have your passport and spend more than 5000 yen you can buy for if you do not live there. Lots of shops do it, but not all. I visited another store in Osaka called Fishing Max, also got tax free there (bought a Daiwa Fune XT reel and some braid)

Hi, I don't live in Japan. I only went to this store one time when I was on holiday recently.

Sorry to hear of your conditions - hopefully the video gave you a glimpse of this store and brought you some joy.

I know those "looks", "Fishing again"?

They certainly had a lot of them, in a couple of different section of the store. I've never been squiding. Thanks for watching and subscribing.

Also, Mate, I’m a Yank, but I am really excited that Razor is now coaching the ABs. I feel he should have been put in that role well before this last World Cup.

true dat@@johnhelms8226

It's Johshuya (they have 140 stores across Japan) and it's the Toyocho store (a city within Tokyo). Thanks for watching, hope you subscribed.

Thanks for watching. I also found a lot of things quite different to what we have in New Zealand. I mostly saltwater softbait from a kayak, inshore, coastal. There use of Trebble hooks on softbaits was very different, and some hardbody/softbait combos were quite different. Honestly 9hrs in that shop was not enough. I'll go back in about 3 years. Hope you enjoy some of my other videos. Thanks for commenting

Yes it was a great find.

Do you know if it the same chain?

It'll be open if you go back, any time of the night or day lol.

Thanks Colin. I spent 9hrs there over 3 mornings. There was so much to see. I'm more into softbait fishing here in New Zealand and fish from a kayak. About to try drone fishing and a little surfcasting. 90% of the rods were in packets, and I don't read Japanese, and taking a rod back to New Zealand was not an option. I figured most people watching the video would be in the same situation, So i mostly skipped the rods. Thanks for checking out my video and commenting.

They had plenty of floats, I don't fish that way, so sorry i skipped over it pretty fast (but it's in the video).

Toyocho

I spent about $1200 (in that store) and about $300 in another one in Osaka (Fishing Max), about $1100 on 2 reels. NZD$

​@snappagrabba thank you for the awesome video Sir. God Bless

Most spinning reels are easy swap. Overheads - a lot of Kiwi's wind left handed, so I think they are readily available here. But they were much cheaper in Japan. Like around 40-60%.

@@snappagrabba yea was talking about overhead sorry, the shimano grappler, ocea jiggers and daiwa lexa for example arent imported into australia so I have to order from the usa or japan but its cheaper and better quality so bit of a bonus.

@kizzjd9578 where do you buy from online? I bought a Daiwa Fune XT for jigging from Fishing Max in Osaka (at the store). It was half the price of the same reel in NZ that was on special.

Out of interest - how many of you wind with their non dominant hand (i.e. your right handed and wind with your left hand, or visaversa). Please comment.

I'm right handed and wind with my right hand, think it would feel strange to do it the other way. Strangely, i play cricket or baseball left handed.

Hi Michael - Tokyo was pretty good too.

A whole new dimension my friend - come along for the ride. I'll be doing a couple product reviews soon (just been busy with life and a fishing comp). Be sure to subscribe
