does anybody on this forum live in japan or know someone that does?
thank you

Ichiro does in the offseason, but he isn't selling swimbaits- ;)

is he there right now?

Jesse,
I don't mean to offend you or anything, but I am a reg on this site, and have seen you post looking for swimbaits for sale for like 2 months now, if you don't mind me asking, what area do you live in? I have yet to see a tackle store these days, heck even a Wal-mart, without swimbaits for sale... Not sure if this helps, but let me know if you need help locating one.

Jesse..

If you wan't some "unique" stuff from Japan try UMAXCO.COM (562)434-7925. I'm not sure but I think his name is Chris.. They're in Long Beach and carry a decent selection of Japanese gear--sometimes not posted in their website..

Another site you might want to check out for Japanese stuff: http://www.lureichiban.com/

http://www.funnyfarmtackle.com/page/page/343894.htm (U.S. made stuff.. I don't know how good his stuff is but it looks pretty cool.)

Now go and get yourself some gear and let us know how you do! j/k.. goodluck.

I know the owner of Funnyfarmtackle ahd he produces quality baits and will do custom jobs. He sells some of his stuff on ebay for cheaper than his website.
