Toshi

As a seller of Japanese fishing products, we often feel difficulty to find lure rod for Vietnamese field, because 90% of rods for Black Bass is 1 piece in Japan.

Of course these 1 pieces is not fit for fishing with motor bike. For most of countries it is not a matter because anglers use a car for fishing.

SAKAKIBARA MASAMI is one of top angler for Tenkara Fishing in Japan.

Tenkara is a little bit similar to Fly Fishing but does not use a reel.

Soon Saogiku will start to exhibit old lures from TOSHI's collection.

Most of these come from HEDDON, U.S.A, which is the most successful lure maker in the world.

Many new materials and many new methods are brought to fishing world. But we sometimes have to doubt what the maker says.

Now it becomes popular to use Tungsten weight for plastic lures. The specific gravity of pure Lead is 11.35 and the specific gravity of pure Tungsten is 19.3. So if Tungsten is used, action of the lure becomes sharper and also this weight surely contribute for long casting.

Though 80% of top lure anglers in Japan uses right-handle for Bait-casting, most of them choose left handle when use Spinning reel.
