The Hottest JDM Baits And Trends For Bass Fishing!

Many of the hottest bait trends in fishing have originated in Japan. Today we've identified 5 new JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) trends that are making huge waves in both US and international bass fishing! Some you may have seen, some are likely to be brand new to you, but you don't want to miss any of them!

Historically the Japanese market has brought a lot of very refined techniques. They've also accounted for many of our current swimbait designs and concepts. Today we're seeing huge waves in the "dice" and "appendage" category, as well as topwater, minnow baits, spinnerbaits, and more. These trends are catching fire in the US because they're working, so today we're making sure you're aware of them.

Below you'll find links to every bait in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each lure, as well as any other pertinent information. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Honorable Mentions... 

-Teckel BladeWaker: https://bit.ly/2DuYZxU

This versatile bait can be fished as a bladed jig, ultra shallow swim jig, or buzzbait. 

-FishArrow Riser Jack Swimbait: https://bit.ly/30FMOqw

This bait is a completely different action than you're used to. Its a crackdown with a nose up rise that gets bit. Watch some of the JDM videos and you'll be pumped!

-Norman Speed N Crankbait: https://bit.ly/33Hpj2f

We love to speed crank and this little bait is designed for speed. Its the exact profile of the Deep Little N but in a shallow version. 

-G Loomis IMX Pro Swimbait (Keitech) Rod: https://bit.ly/3ktZFnF

The 7'2" 863C was designed for small to medium paddle tails. This is the first rod we've seen that is specifically designed to throw finesse swimbaits like the keitech. Great rod, great action, definitely fills a niche. 

-Spro King Daddy: http://bit.ly/2h0LCYd

This giant frog is a big fish catcher! Its proven itself for years but now comes in even more colors! Our favorite are Yellow Sparkle and Navy Seal. 

-Plano Edge FLEX Boxes: https://bit.ly/3kngvEG
