I had found these little topwater plastics when I went to Japan called Ike-Chu by Jackal. Those spiders remind me of them, but they had a hard plastic ball inside to help them float. I’ve found them online once, still have a few. Great baits to throw in the heat of summer under some overhanging trees.
Smaller companies in the US are really stepping up their bfs lure game. One of my favorites is eurotackle. They partnered with Leo Shang (EPF) and made some 2" and 1.5" plastics that look very similar to these. They also provide bfs crank baits as well.
Yahoo Japan has the best deals you get a proxy buyer from ebay to make the purchases then they consolidate and send to you. I bought a Zephyr float tube with paddles this way.theres no custom fees just shipping
I bought a zillion hlc, Antares DC MD and another scorpion 300 MD XG LH. I like your videos, have you thought about some big swimbait rod/reel testing?
I bought two metaniums, I got them for $245 each. That’s absolutely un heard of. Do you think this current trend with pricing will continue? I image just in general reels are cheaper in Japan because that’s where they are made. I will be buying an exsence as well. These prices are just crazy IMO.
I must confess...I bought a Shimano Antares DC. And a Daiwa Steez Top gun rod. That particular rod I saw on eBay for over $1000 🤦. I paid $550. And just yesterday I ordered about $350 in lures and terminal tackle....yes I have a problem 😭
Same, we need therapy. I just bought a whole lot of weighted hooks and tiny rubbers that wiggle in water in the name of science and education purposes.
Thank you for sharing the verse god saved me many times I now released but it was one major time that’s changed my life to have the courage to share my belief and be a testament to his existence.
Need a new reel for my jerkbait rod and i cant decide between curado 150 mgl or tatula elite since they are same price at my local shop. Which one is best for small lures? (Maybe your opinion on the hakai also) Thx for all the effort you put in your videos!
@@THEREELTEST Nice, same for me here in France, I never had custom fees if i don't buy one piece rod. But the laws in Europe for importation has changed last year ... so i will see what's changed now

Alderbarran 22 , a couple deps lures, shimano and sublime pe, slpw drag star and knobs for Daiwa gekkabijin reel
Appreciate the heads up!!! Got me a metanium.
They should give you free gear or a commission!!
I just had an amazing idea for an original bait concept watching this video. Inspired me to create a bait.
Kinda looks like a clone fry (disontinued) was absolutly deadly on breaking fish
I am ordering a slx xt dc this week.
I bought a zillion hlc, Antares DC MD and another scorpion 300 MD XG LH. I like your videos, have you thought about some big swimbait rod/reel testing?
Varivas braided line 0.6 ,0.8 ,3 diferente lineups and shimano lunamis spinning rod 7/6 shimano titanium x guides!! The rod was a give
Awesome info. Now just gotta justify why I need them lol
No one cares that you have to justify why you need them
Just wanted to let you know,The Hookup Tackle in Arizona has had those for about a year.
Got the 2022 Exist 2500s was in stock for like 5 minutes.
2020 metanium bro. Thanks for sharing
Great info what you call the store name ?

Yeah thats literally half price vs US prices.. I dont know how long it will last, Im sure the current situation in Europe has something to do with it.
Literally hope everyone will stop talking about this, they are going to make it illegal or something. I did grab a Conquest though!!!
@@logicalrationalfishing7481 I feel the same way lol
I bought one metanium yesterday for $244, great price!
wow impressed. wish i knew how to obtain them
Them soft bait’s are made for drop ship that’s why they have that lip hook up tackle show them on his channel
Picked up a 2021 Antares DC 👍🏾
Nice. It'd be awesome if you could link the baits in the description.
they are all at digitaka

u need help 😂
@@MrCaptainBuff no doubt 😬
Same, we need therapy. I just bought a whole lot of weighted hooks and tiny rubbers that wiggle in water in the name of science and education purposes.
dang you went HAM lol.. but you cant turn down saving almost 50% off on that rod.
Did anyone ask?
Bro I got different fishing braids. The g5 is awesome by shimano. Haven't landed a Monster red on it but I'll let you know.
Thank you for sharing the verse god saved me many times I now released but it was one major time that’s changed my life to have the courage to share my belief and be a testament to his existence.
keep sharing brother!
Did you do a review of the Lew's Carbon Fire?
nope
My plan was to save up for a while to get a metanium. It arrives in 3 days 😂
Did anyone ask?
Those look awesome

The scorpion dc is only 210$ at digitaka. I’d like to try one, I own 2 tatulas now.
hey man , where did you bought these ? could you share an address ?
Nice stuff. Do you pay some extra custom fees ? I'm about to order a reel, but I don't know if they are like JLS.
No customs fees. In my over 10 years of buying from Japan Ive only paid customs fees once on a 1 piece rod probably due to the size of the rod tube.
@@THEREELTEST Nice, same for me here in France, I never had custom fees if i don't buy one piece rod. But the laws in Europe for importation has changed last year ... so i will see what's changed now
So did they send everything you ordered? Just wondering because I won't order from them if not! Great video btw
Yeah, I checked my order and everything was sent
🙋🙋
It works
Do those lures float?
I dont think any of them float
Got a Tatula TW 80 Japan Lure Shop. $138 including shipping.
The more I fish the more I like your channel. Sub! Bad for the wallet though. Thanks
Bruh just buy the new Antares already no one cares about jdm lures and bfs reels
Hey man would really like to see you do a review of the daiwa costal 200 , I can’t decide between the daiwa or scorpion Dc 2021
The scorpion is amazing is all I can say!
Your video sold out some reels I'm sure. Right after your video the 7 speed Metanium was sold out 🥲 Luckily I bought one before your video
you are a wise man to act so quickly!
