One of these years I have to make the trip to Japan and hit the Osaka Fishing tackle show.  Here is probably the best e-zine I've ever seen on it.

Awesome! Thanks Redlinerobert.

Very interesting.  Theres some cool gear on those pages.

The new Stella looks incredible.

I'll be sure to go buy a rod and matching bait with flower petals painted on them. Sometimes I question whether some of that Japanese stuff was made for bass fisherman or metrosexuals.

It's made for the 'sensitive fisherman'.    ;D

I lol'd.  ;D

Don't get me wrong, some of those rods are freaking sweet although completely out of my price range. However, I'm not sore over being unablle to afford a rod with a lotus blossom or oriental fan on it.

Some badarse stuff there
