JDM 2023 new releases

Post by PotatoLake » Thu Mar 30, 2023 6:24 pm

What JDM 2023 product has you intrigued? I have a couple that I thought looked cool. The Megabass Magdraft Ayu Twitcher and The OSP Karen 180. The twitcher is similar to the Grow Design works Flag, and that Karen looks like if the Twitcher and a Jackall Mikey had a baby.

I like the new Ambassadeur 4600CA factory-tuned model, but that suggested retail price on Pure Fishing Japan's website, tho...

DRT previewed a pretty sweet looking crank bait along with 3-piece TKs/K9s at The Keepcast 2023. Not sure when they plan to release them but I'm stoked.

Have you tried the Swamp Survivor? I’ve been eyeing that one recently. Thinking of picking it up.

I really like the conceptual fusion you described on that OSP Karen 180 lure - taking the best elements of the Megabass Magdraft Twitcher and Jackall Mikey designs is a cool way to engineer a next-gen jerkbait. And naming it after the popular "Karen" bass just adds some personality. 😄 The Magdraft Ayu colorway also caught my eye - that orange gradient with the back dots really pops and seems tailored for clear water sight feeding. I could see it triggering some explosive surface strikes. Megabass always delivers on the aesthetic details.On the rod end, I'm eager to read some reviews on the new Megabass OROCHI XX Stealth Shooter and XRODUCTION TX-1. A high-end 7'10" swimbait stick and a $1000+ Taiwanese technical casting rod seem poised to impress if they live up to their pedigree.But the lure innovation excites me most - the big companies have lots of R&D resources to play with compared to tackle startups, so I applaud additions that push boundaries. Can't wait to see your on-water tests of the new OSP jerkbait! Are you looking for excel and word template?
