Looking forward to heading home. Japan.

First I miss my dog.

Second, I feel like I’m burning fishing time.  Haha. Reading your stories…FOMO bigtime!

Third, I got a new reel..ocea jigger.  It’s cheap here!

I’m gonna try this slow pitch jigging thing.  I’m hitting a tackle shop to buy line, some jigs, and some LMB lures.   Then I start heading home.

Japan quality 
Safe travels

Have safe travel home, and we need to chase more fish soon.

Mind as well pickup an electric reel setup for deep dropping while you're there. Safe travel

That's what I use (for slow-jigging for ling mostly) and it is just awesome -- the precision in the design, engineering, materials, and manufacturing just blows me away every time I use it. Amazing reel, you'll love it! I got mine second hand on ebay from Japan and it was like-new condition and a good price.
