RAID JAPAN
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 mistaken, one of the people involved is a former Megabass designer/pro/marketing or something like that.
I edited/adjusted my posting to just RAID JAPAN.

Re: RAID JAPAN - Baits
I've used their paddle tails, their egu jig and egu jig trailers, and have their Deka Dodge and GI waiting to be tried out. I've been very pleased by the quality and effectiveness of their products.

Checked out the LEVEL Minnow 72 "Ghost Shad" is almost IDENTICAL to the Pro Blue Megabass, tossed it around for a while yesterday morning. No pickups but between the shad and the spawn going on around here, I'll wait a little longer. I have some egu jig trailers but haven't used them yet. I alway have a GI waiting to be tried out.

Re: RAID JAPAN - Baits
Picked up a Dodge on sale a few weeks back and finally got to try it out yesterday. I was throwing it on 40lb braid and was having some issue with it rolling over. Not a huge deal, maybe there was some twist in the line or maybe I should use a swivel. I got one bite but missed em somehow. I could see how this thing could catch some big fish.
Re: RAID JAPAN - Baits
Don't give up on the Dodge. Use it at night if you can. I've caught some of my biggest bass at night using a crawler. This crawler is a Aventa Crawler GT.MountainMan 83 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 8:42 amPicked up a Dodge on sale a few weeks back and finally got to try it out yesterday.

Level minnow is another home run for the brand
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible
Re: RAID JAPAN - Baits
The Raid Japan Bull Tank is cool and effective and so is the Two Side although I rarely use mine.
Re: RAID JAPAN - Baits
I caught a LMB @ 4lbs with a threadfin shad about this size, 94mm, sticking from it's throat. Figured I'd try this one to #MatchTheHatch

Re: RAID JAPAN - Baits
I have one of those GI's in Chigill and my golly if you get that guy walking in place around the right fish. My next lure of thiers to try is the two-way. I burnt through my sakura rubber dice, so time to try these out.
Re: RAID JAPAN - Baits
Never used anything from them, but a few weeks ago i found a knockoff of their LEVEL Vib on ali, and bought it. Received it a few days ago, and tried it on the water. Even that thing is good, and if you get snagged its only $2, so i kinda like it
Re: RAID JAPAN - Baits
I keep forgetting the limited exists and everytime I see one I want to run out and buy one. Gorgeous reel. I will have to be happy with my two IPs and a PE special. Must... use.. soulless modern zillions...MountainMan 83 wrote: ↑Sun May 07, 2023 8:42 amPicked up a Dodge on sale a few weeks back and finally got to try it out yesterday.

Re: RAID JAPAN - Baits
Yeah, I found one at a good price that was pretty used but not abused. Such a cool reel. I don’t mind the handle; something different for sure but switched out for a 100mm and tapped the driveshaft for a bolt. Picked up a new Steez HLC mild spool from Jun and been having a blast. There’s just something so great about these OG variants.LowRange wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2023 1:33 pmI keep forgetting the limited exists and everytime I see one I want to run out and buy one.

Re: RAID JAPAN
Just got my third RAID JAPAN rod. First was the Gladiator Anti GA-70HS-ST "Power Nose", a finesse spinning rod. It impressed me. Next was the "Joker", a medium 6'10" casting rod. Finally the 6'10" MH casting rod. They remind me of the early days of Megabass styling.
