Seabass fishing at a fishing festival! HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB in Osaka, Japan.

HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB came to Osaka. The purpose of this visit was to check out the new products at the Fishing Show OSAKA 2024, the largest fishing tackle exhibition in Japan, where all fishing manufacturers gather under one roof. This is an event where you can actually see, hear, and experience the innovations developed by manufacturers using the best of their technologies. In addition, you can also go fishing in Osaka Bay! And what's more, it was a special fishing trip where we got to use DAIWA's new products one step ahead of the rest!

A series of hits at the end of the day!

At the next point we arrived at, we shot at structure. We target sea bass that are waiting around the pillars for small fish to serve as bait.

Komatsu: . There are a lot of sea bass of about 50 cm swimming around. . They are responding to the Shoreline Shiner Z Set Upper S75-DR.

Ishii: Shooting at structure is gamey and gives you the feeling of catching fish rather than just catching them. It is interesting to cast to the target area and entice the sea bass to follow the lure with a sense of excitement.

Murayama: SWAGGER" is easy to throw, has a good return and sensitivity. . It can be used not only for bass fishing but also for ocean fishing.

. but there is no response, a complete change from earlier. They chase the lure, but they don't bite. Time passed by as if we were just casting and playing. Mr. Hayashida broke out of this situation.

Another big one! Over 60 cm. . It seems to be responding to the metal jig. . It was past noon and time to return to port was approaching, so the next and final point was the last.

. I try various lures, but still no response. . After all, maybe a metal jig is the best solution for the time of year.

Then, Mr. Murayama got a hit! . Then, Komatsu's rod also reacted. And then Ikemoto's, too!

Three people at the same time! Komatsu is happy with his new "SWAGGER" spinning rod.

Komatsu: I fished with the SWAGGER S66ML! The bite was transmitted to my hand firmly , and I was able to hook it without getting caught.

Starting with simultaneous hits, they begin to catch fish one after another . Not wasting any time, Mr. Murayama again . And Komatsu again. The hit lure was the same as before, the "Moazan Seabass Rodem.

And Ikemoto also caught his second fish!

Ishii, who had been catching chinook and konoshiro but had not caught the sea bass he was looking for! Like Komatsu, he caught his fish on the "Moazan Seabass Rodem.

Ishii: If you just reel it in, it's a gusher. . It's a lure that does a good job just by reeling it in. . I was a little nervous because the rod was twitching so much that it washed up on my gills, but I was glad that I was able to get it in safely.

Mr. Hayashida also caught the fish with a "SWAGGER" spinning rod.

Hayashida: . "SWAGGER" is just the right length and easy to cast. Maybe the reason people are not falling apart is that the rod is well-balanced.

. Thus, the time was up just as the timing was settling down. All anglers were able to catch fish! The biggest sea bass was caught by Mr. Hayashida. He was competing with Mr. Murayama and won by a narrow margin.

Ishii: We all had a great time catching them all. . "SWAGGER" is also a possibility for sea bass. This time, my purpose was to go to "FISHING SHOW OSAKA 2024," but I was very satisfied with the fishing as well. I used to go somewhere to fish, but now, on the other hand, I go fishing while going somewhere. I am glad that I was able to enjoy it that way.

Murayama: . I enjoyed the different scenery from sea bass fishing in Tokyo Bay. It was interesting that there was a time when we all caught a fish at the end of the day . It was over in a flash in Osaka.

Hayashida: It was the first boat sea bass in a long time . And it was in Osaka Bay. . The fishing method was the same as in Tokyo Bay, but I felt fresh in an unfamiliar place. The "SWAGGER" was easy to use for both spinning and bait rods, and for sea bass.

Komatsu: I thought it was going to be a tough fishing trip when I heard that there was no fishing the day before, but I was happy to catch some fish. . I was also happy to catch fish on the new "SWAGGER. . I will continue to use it not only for bass fishing but also for sea bass fishing.

Ikemoto: First HOUYHNHNM's Fishing of the year! It was a club fishing trip, and I am glad everyone was able to catch fish . . I used to go only to Shinsaibashi and Horie when I thought of Osaka, so now I have more options to fish in Osaka. I would like to enjoy sea bass, along with black bass, all over the country.
