RAID JAPAN

I've used the LEVEL Crank, LEVEL Crank Goriller and the LEVEL Vib. All of which I liked and initial production projections are good. The are well made with good finishes and color patterns. Based upon my experience, I ordered several other baits and current baits with additional patterns. If I'm not...

Only two things that frighten me...

One is nuclear war and the other...people with small hands that smell like cabbage...

Yeah, it's a slow day. LMAO.
People that smell like cabbage with small hands OR people with small cabbage smelling hands?

Re: JDM Site Missing Evergreen Brand

Just an additional FYI ... the ability to purchase JDM products directly from Japan was also undermined by US vendors who wanted to continue a stranglehold on access to markets and usurious pricing. To wit, when Megabass started selling items through it's website many years ago, the consumer was abl...

Re: JDM Site Missing Evergreen Brand

Once the JDM secret trick leaked to bassresource normies it was over. We have reports them buying JDM Zillons then returning them because "it made a click" from the inductor seating so they make the retailer pay to ship it back to the other side of the planet. Buying two competing products to test ...

Re: JDM Site Missing Evergreen Brand

Found out more after digging, searching, and reading comments. Seems a few have spoiled it for all. As always those with money who it doesn't affect. People were buying hundreds of these lures and rebranding them as "rare" and special colors. Selling for double what JDM retailers sell Jackhammers a...

Re: Moving to lighter gear due to injury?

Back in the old days, an Ambassadeur 4500C + Quantum Tour Edition 7' cranking rod weighed in slightly under 2 lbs. My right arm was shot due to saying to Hell with the relay, I'm gonna throw the bastard out from deep right to home plate. My arm was like a noodle after that. Got me into finesse light...

Zoom mag lizard. It actually is the one plastic I keep in the Xterra, just in case.

I keep a pack of 6" Zoom Lizards in Pumpkinseed/Chart tail in one of those "In Case Of Emergency Break Glass" thingys.

Re: JDM Site Missing Evergreen Brand

Pretty sure JLS has a "sorry" up that says no longer shipping Jackhammers to USA or Canada. Sad time. I feel sick because so many were in stock for my last order but I bought like 3. Really wish I'd bought about 25 in 3/8 and 1/2. Picked up some 3/4 cause why not. I just worry this is the beginning...

Re: Deep cranking rod

Seems like a little too much rod for what I'm looking to do, but I'd definitely be interested in hearing how it works out for you next month. What baits do you plan to throw with it? I'll be using it with Deps DC300 up to O.S.P Blitz Magnum EX-DR plus 1oz to 2oz Spinnerbaits. It is paired with a St...

Re: Deep cranking rod

I just got the Evergreen International Wild Shooter for just this technique, larger but not oversized hard baits. I gave a lot of thought and research. Not overly expensive either. Thanks for the suggestion. I should specify that I'm looking for something in the 7'4 "-7'6" range. Yeah, I think I wo...
