Tube Dude,
Thank you again for your replies.
You have so much knowledge and you have good writing skill. I recieved Private messase from you with attatchments, they are very logical. I will try some of your tactics for lures and others.
I have been tying flies also, but I have not had very good experience with flies for salt water fishes, I got addicted for fly fishing in Canada and America. I want to try more fly fishing in Okinawa but the equipment and methods are not so popular and they are very expensive. Fly fishing is something I play with after I catch nice dinner fishes already with normal tackles.
I sometimes think I should buy top brand lure that costs average $25 because some of these are good lures and will catch good smart fish. But I think any fisherperson or tourist can buy lures, some tourist even buy some of Japanese 'Premium' lures that cost $75 for multi-hinge types, and it only takes money to buy them but it takes patients, skill, knowledge to create your own lure. I do spend many hours sometimes on 1 lure, some lure takes me a few days, so I think I also do not save money by making my lure, but the joy is a hobby and all hobby cost money and time. I get excited after I compete a lure and I go try it, its not as fun to buy lure and open it from package and go try it.
I think that I have much to learn, Japanese fishermen are very smart fisherman and they make very good tackle and equipment here, It seems to me that many Japanese companies brings different equipments to America. I have notice that Daiwa and Shimano have almost different lines of equipments as I compared Japanese sites to American sites, we also have many brands that are not in America.
I have never been thinking before to take pictures of fishing, because I fish almost everyday. What type of picture do you fisher people take?
