Along with the 20th anniversary this year, for the first time as a fan representative, Shibata-Taicho has created a display of the lures he’s created. There is so much thought and love to it all.

Sorry about the silly face…

This is the Lucky Craft 20th Anniversary cake! What a celebration! It is the history that we all created together by trusting one another and with unity.

Tonight is a fun dinner gathering. Here is an image of a phenomenal collaboration of SHINGO & Shibata-Taicho.

I am currently in Yokohama. We are having a mid-celebration during the Yokohama fishing show that is going on right now. We are having some Asian fusion type meal.

The Trout season has started and a lot of Amago & Yamame (Seema) are being fished in Europe & Japan. The Flash Minnow 65Tr. is a popular lure for Trout fishing in Japan, but in France it is the Humpback Minnow. And we even powered up on the color selections: http://www.luckycraftlure.com/NRGLure/Humpback.htm. Personally I like the “Clear Blue Iwana” color. The NC Bora is pretty good in the evening.

This weekend is the Yokohama Fishing Show in Japan. And speaking of Yokohamais the Sea Bass fishing guide, Sea Kuro. Every year in November, I looked forward on going fishing with Sea Kuro at the TokyoBay. The Yokohama Fishing Show is right next to it too… I’m so busy this March I can’t go fishing… I see how they are fishing a lot every day as I look at their blog site: http://www.seakuro.com/. Lucky~!

We made a cool new hat!! It is a Lucky Craft & Optimum Bait collaboration hat! I would like to mass produce this soon.

The Opti Shad & Victory Tail is continuously being produced. The completed products are amazing. I suppose they were extremely popular at the last fishing show – on the first day, some people came and bought 2-3 packs and came back the very next day and bought dozens more! I must say, collaborative work is great!
