Prime Angling JDM Lures
Matt and the team over at Prime Angling have been super busy finding all the latest and greatest lure fishing tackle over in Japan. It’s been a while since I did one of these so I thought I’d try and pull out some special items that grabbed my eye. Here goes:

  • Sasame Nazono Ankou ANK01 – Who doesn’t need a weight that looks like a mini anglerfish (or a pineapple) to catch gobies?
  • Marukyu Attractant Ikarider Stamp – Scent improvement for squid jigs from Japan’s number one. I’m considering a purchase just for the packaging!
  • Daiwa Morethan hardbaits – Underrated, as lack of marketing support here. Anything with ‘laser impact’ kills when you need flash
  • Jackall Bigbacker Fit Jig – Do I need another metal? One with eyes on the assists? Yes, yes I do!
  • Pro Marine Run&Gun Clear Bucket – Man-sized viewing tank or livebait bucket – handy line to retrieve water safely
  • Yamashita Squid Jigs – I know Matt went all-in, but don’t wait until the season. Going to be super popular again
  • Pro Marine Clear Observe Viewing Tank – the OG JDM viewing tank
  • Daiwa Seabass Jig head – Have been using these for a while. Daiwa heads are hit and miss. These are boss level. Perfect for darting
  • Jackall Hiei – A do-very-little sub-surface lure for when less is more. I don’t buy many bass lures in Japan but I bought one of these!
  • Daiichiseiko Itokuzu Winder – Have had one of these forever. Cool little trash can for line. Hides evidence of your wind-knots in seconds!
  • Shimano 22 SEPHIA BB C3000SDH – Are you even squid fishing if you don’t have a dedicated squid fishing reel?!
  • the list goes on!
