Japanese Tackle

[hottyscotty]

This might be irrelevant to most but i'm very fond of japanese fishing gear. So my mate got me to translate some things in japanese. He just came back from Japan and got a crap load of gear by just pointing out on the list what he wanted in small tackle shops that had no one speak a word of english. Most stuff was in japanese rather than english even though most tackle companies have brandings in english...as i am told. Again, might be irrelevant to non-speakers but finding reviews/info with the japanese name gives heaps more results. You also find more stores in japan that stock a particular brand.

Try typing rude words into the google translater.. small things amuse extremely small minds (in my case).....
