Do you use any Japanese Gear?

Do you guys use any JDM gear?

If not, here's some pics of some JDM eye candy that might make you want to

That's enough for now I think.

No rods and reels..... yet!

But I do you JDM line (p-line) and love the stuff!

btw, what's the last Garcia? Or is it custom painted?

BigBassin144 · 03-27-10, 03:10 PM

That's a Revo Elite IB. I believe it's new for 2010. Cost: Approx. $438.

Oh, and technically P-line is not JDM. While it's made it Japan (or overseas somewhere) it is made for the US market.

Those are some sweet looking reels!

Daiwa must be run by a woman. Get a man excited and tell him he can't have it anymore

That's the first time I've seen cork grips on a reel. Bet they're awesome!

I voted yes because i really don't know if my gear is made in japan or not. My guess is that some of my gear was made in japan, isn't most everything nowadays made there or china or mexico? Or somewhere overseas anyway.

Bassboss · 03-27-10, 09:52 PM

Come to think of it, my old daiwa is make in Jap... I kinda I guess, I do have JDM stuff!

that's funny too John.

Oh, and just to clear some stuff up, when talking about JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) gear, it's not just stuff that's made in Japan, but stuff that is ONLY sold on the japanese market. That why guys who use it have to import it into the states.

I really want one of those PX68's!!! The Zillion HCL is pretty sweet too, right handed of course though!!!

CMorg · 03-28-10, 02:27 PM

I wish I could find someone to smuggle me in some of that Japanese stuff. I think they are far ahead of American companies. Even Japanese baits are amazing to me... No , I am not putting down "made in america" Im just saying , compare them side by side , and I believe the Japan brands will win hands down.

CMorg, if you've got the money, and you're willing to spend, it there's no need to smuggle stuff in. There's a couple sites that you can buy new JDM rods and reels, and one that has a few used reels as well.
