things to buy in Japan?

toporanger · Post by **toporanger** » Mon Mar 24, 2014 10:27 am

So I'm a long time lurker but thought I would ask the experts for their opinion. I leave Friday for the Philippines for 34 days and I plan on taking a day in Japan on the way back. Not sure which airport yet but I'm hoping for Narita.

So what are the things I have to buy while there? I probably won't have room for rods but definetly room for reels and lures.

You do realize what group you're asking right?

I say, grab all the plastics and hardbaits that we don't get here that you can.

I figure I will just walk into the shop with no Japanese language knowledge, but an open pocketbook lol. I expect to blow all my money on crankbaits alone.

I would probably go after some swimbaits if that's your thing.

custom or limited color megabass baits, megabass or shimano jdm reels, imakatsu baits, cool hats or t-shirts would be a good start

I would investigate shops for nice used limited edition and/or out of production Megabass reels. "the Monoblocks"- "Lin".

If you haven't seen it before…take it!…remember, if you have buyers remorse on something when you get back, post it here first!

Megabass and ito reels and lures. Deps custom tune rules. Handles and knobs and spools we dont have easy access to. A JDM morrum. Swimbaits...$20k wouldnt even begin to cover what I could drop in a few JDM tackle shops.

please note that usually one day layovers are usually not enough to get in and out of the tackle shops in tokyo as it is usually a 2 hour ride in and 2 hour ride back out from the airport to Shibuya where you will get the most tackle shops in a small area. Good luck.
