More Japanese surface bait gallery goodness

It's been a while since we visited some of our favorite Japanese topwater sites.

If you ever go bass fishing in Japan don't forget the crank baits and the Kleenex.

A piece of candy will do in a pinch.

A cigarette is an acceptable solution.

Two is even better.

If you're interested in exploring the vibrant culture of Japanese fishing tackle check out Lure of the Sea.

No one seems to know, I have a note into the Patagonia office in Japan to translate the site I found the pics on. Will report when and if I find anything out.
