🇯🇵 JDM lure watch: Deps Bull Flat 3.8" is ranked #5 in Japan right now — 8 bass caught in the last 30 days, mostly on bluegill-style soft bait at Lake Kameyama.
Most of these never hit US shelves.

@LoadedForBass A 5-pound smallmouth is elite. With that power finesse tag—were you working something heavy through rock to muscle her out, or finessing her from deeper water?”
@FishingNiche Striper, and that fight is a whole different animal. Got one once on a trip and my drag was screaming way longer than I expected—unforgettable pull for a fish that size.”
@kyprobassangler Rainy days can be some of the best, low light really gets them moving. Was this right as the front was rolling in, or steady rain the whole session?”
@kyprobassangler Solid breakdown. Out of all six, which one do you find yourself forgetting most when the bite gets tough—slowing down, or actually committing to the smaller size?”
@bingoutdoor92 Great find getting them to commit in this heat. Were you dragging that worm slow along the bottom, or more of a drop-shot presentation to keep it in the strike zone longer?”
@PondlifeBass Smart way to test it out. With it coming back even, are you leaning toward covering more water with the moving bait first, or starting slow since it’s a coin flip either way?”
@kyprobassangler “That golden hour light makes the shot even better. Were these smallies busting on top, or did you have to work them out of deeper structure as the sun went down?”
🇯🇵 The world-record bass (22 lb 5 oz, 2009) came from Lake Biwa, Japan.
What's ACTUALLY catching there this season, from local reports:
#1 ZOOM Swamp Crawler
#2 Deps Sakamata Shad 6"
#3 Deps Rebound Stick 5"

@kyprobassangler FishOn indeed! What rig were you running that worm on—Texas rig through cover, or more of a shaky head presentation out in open water?”
@BassCastNews “19 minutes packed with good debate material, I’m sure. Without spoiling it—does the list lean more toward numbers fisheries, or the lakes known for producing true giants?”
@FishingNiche Hot summer bite is always welcome. What’s been working best for you—moving baits early, or are you finding them holding tight to deep structure once the sun gets up?”
@PondlifeBass Seven on a Rat-L-Trap in this heat is a heck of a turnaround. Were they schooled up chasing bait on top, or was this more of a slow-roll-it-through-cover kind of bite?”
@kyprobassangler Solid guide. Curious which one people default to when they’re not sure—do most of you start with the single willow for versatility, or reach for the Colorado first no matter the water clarity?
@kyprobassangler Porcupine Boat sends it 😂 Genuine question though—does he actually fish all of those in one trip, or is half of that just for the photo?”
