Hello, during the last week of March I will be travling to Japan to see some family. I have family living throughout Japan and will be in the major cities and landmarks. I was doing some reaseach about Japanese bass fishinig and how competivie it is in Japan. I see that Lake Biwa seems to be the the best lake holding the shared world record for largemouth bass at 22.5 lbs. Also which of Japan'ś lakes are the best to catch a big bass. Another question isif you know of any guide services you would recommend that speak English. Another thing in Japan is the all of the fishing tackle that the ship to the USA. What gear you guys would recommend from Japan. If you guys know of any tackle shops in Japan that would carry any rare/interesting tackle it would be nice to know. If any of you guys/ladys have any advice or information it would be greatly appericated. Or if any brands you guys know of that orginate in Japan.

The only advice I have would be: ask these questions on the Tackle Tour forums as well- they're a lot more into JDM than Bass Resource.
