What Japanese artificial lures are good presents for American fishing guides?
Posted by Best Bass Fishing Lures on Saturday, December 26th, 2009
I am Japanese. I will go fishing to Florida next February . I will fish bass in some lakes with fishing guides. I will present some Japanese lures for them. I think it’s a good idea. But I have no ideas what to present. So I want to ask you what kind of Japanese lures are noticed in America? What pleases them ?

ima is another one that has just become available in the USA.

Megabass, Daiwa, Evergreen, Shimano, Imakatsu, any lure from any of those companies that you can get in Japan will be hard if not difficult to get in the United States.
I know Lucky Craft has some colors that are not shipped to the USA.
A crank bait or top water bait from anyone of those companies I would love to own, or should I say own more of them, so am sure your guide would appreciate them as well.
Hope this helps you, and have a wonderful fishing trip.

I live on the Kissimmee chain of lakes and I would like to try a Smith Glossa Magnum or a Shabuki sinking minnow. Maybe a Imakatsu #123 Bleeding Arkansas Shiner crankbait. The bass feed on shiners and other small fish so imitations produce fish. When you get here in Feb it will be during the spawn so big bass will be on the beds. Good Luck and Great Fishing!
AIRFLOWon 26 Dec 2009 at 7:46 pm 3Many of the Japanese lures are good for fishing, in fact about 50% of lures in the USA are imported from japan, with the likes of diawa, being the main importer, bring a selection with quality hooks and im sure they wont turn them down.

Let’s not fail to mention Lucky Craft Live Pointer 110, the Sammy or Japan’s No.1 lure maker and their ASURA O.S.P. Here is what they look like: http://www.deloscustomtackleshack.com/jerkbaits/osprey_asurasp.htm
As for your idea being considered good, it is a fantastic idea and will be very well appreciated. They will be most pleased by your gift.
