This was an extra special time with the legendary Japanese bass hammer, Kenta Kimura, and Bassmaster Opens Pro, Brad Leuthner. As a fisherman and tackle junkie, I’ve always wanted to pick Kenta’s brain. He’s been a major influence in the industry, designing tackle, and being a bridge for many techniques we now know today. It’s really cool when you get 3 fishing/tackle crackheads in a room together and mix cultures and perspectives. Brad Leuthner is a master chef in the kitchen when it comes to tackle, especially hair jigs. Not only that, he lines this whole podcast up (knowing I’m a huge Kenta & JDM fan!) Thank you Brad & thank you Kenta! Enjoy as we talk everything bass fishing, including JDM vs. US fishing culture, JDM techniques like the Hideup Coike Field Side Dice and more...hair jigs, crawfish, steak, and eating horse. This one was extra juicy. Enjoy!Get your Kenta approved JDM tackle today at Thorne BrosLooking to up your game in a certain area?
