Another great video sir. I'm glad to see your trip was successful. I've noticed many fishermen here start their trips with fishing for bait fish first and then using them as bait to catch bigger fish. It seems to be an effective style. I have a new one I want to try now...Heddon has made a plopper style lure that's only about 1400 yen here. I got one and I can't wait for my next trip.

What a great video! Fishing with no boat, just you and the stream...brilliant! I wish the water around here was as clear as that is. Some parts of West Virginia DO have streams that clear, just not in my area. I want some Prop Peppers SO bad! I have my local fishing store looking to try to get some by TIEMCO has no distributorships in the U.S. at all. The only ones I see here are on Etsy for like $85 plus taxes and shipping that would push each one to around $100 (14,546.00 yen) each...and I can't afford that. I can find them on the Japanese Amazon website but I'm dubious as to whether I'd actually get them or not. I just have to wait to see if I can get them some day.

@@rolandgdean It's been too hot this summer, so I went to the river to fish in a cooler place with a little running water. I didn't know there was no Timco distributor in the US. Still, the price is too high! I wish there was an overseas shopping site for fishing tackle like there is for bicycle parts.
Such brave little warriors to attack something so big for them...lol. I love that lure and have been looking for one here but I don't know the name of it and the only other one I've seen is from someone (FishingKobaaan TV-topwater) who 3D prints his own lures. Another great video with another unique lure. Thanks so much for all your hard work.

It is good to see you fishing and making great videos again. I am sorry to hear that you injured your back and I hope you are doing better. A back injury can take time to heal...sometimes longer than we expect. I see the Whopper Plopper is still getting a response from the fish. I ordered a new lure from River 2 Sea that is coming in today. It's called Big Mistake and was designed by a professional angler here named Chris Lane. It was a collaboration with River 2 Sea that he did and they didn't get it the way he wanted it (big mistake) but it turned out to work really well. I'm very excited to use it. おつかれさまです

@@rolandgdean Sorry for the late reply. My back is really not healing. I guess I should rest as much as possible, but I like to play outside, so I guess I'll just have to do it! The Big Mistake is one of the lures I want too and I think it has a very nice atmosphere. It's hard to find in Japan, but sometimes I see them online, so if I get the chance, I'd like to buy one!

@@user-wn2ky1bl5f I'm glad to help you facilitate getting lures like that. If you can't get a lure there but I can get it here, I will gladly order it and then send them to you. I'll do all the "leg work" if you just pay for the lures and the shipping costs. I already have a business that I get great shipping rates through and I have the ability to invoice as well so you can pay securely. I'll even send you the free sticker...lol. The biggest problem is that would end up being about $50 for an $17 dollar lure. However, if we got you a few lures at once, the shipping would stay about the same. Just a thought.

I like how you use segments of your full videos to make shorts. I've made separate shorts from my longer videos in the past. I need to incorporate my shorts in my videos. My last short got just over 10,000 views so I might start using it as part of an intro or opening to all my future videos.

I've heard of the Bass Pond brand before. I think the owner makes videos as well and I have seen some of them...that may be another person...I'm not sure. Again, I wish I could get them here because they look like very effective lures. I thought that maybe the translation for your pseudonym might have been wrong at fist but I guess it's correct.

Thank you so much for honoring my request so quickly! The 75mm is my favorite size. I see that the reaction there is similar to here. There seems to be something about this lure that creates a very aggressive response from bass. So much so that even if they don't get hooked in the mouth, they hit them so hard that they still get hooked somewhere. The shape of the lure's tail is so unique and I believe that the sound and frequency strike at something more primal in fish than other lures can. I've also had similar reactions to the Berkley Choppo and the Googan Revolver. There is also a similar one made by "TRUSCEND伝盛" that sells on Amazon that do very well and are half the price as the Whopper Plopper here. I wish you even more success with it in the future. Thank you for all your hard work.

I was thinking about how you use barbless hooks partly to enhance the challenge of your fishing. You had also mentioned some people using classic older gear for the same purpose. In a way, I do the same thing except that I use mid-range quality gear, like a Zebco 33 reel and rod combo from War-Mart just to show that people don't need high-end fishing tackle to be successful or to have fun fishing.
