northeast_trev Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I saw these a month or so ago and cant seem to find anywhere that has them. japanlureshop shows them on their site but they are out of stock. I signed up for the email notification but idk how often they stock the site. Really would love to pick one up for next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappie25 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I tend to like smaller baits, i'm going to wait on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthefisherman Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Oh dear...I want one. Is this a newly-released bait? I haven't heard about it yet. Also, thanks for sharing. haha swim16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Oh dear...I want one. Is this a newly-released bait? I haven't heard about it yet. Also, thanks for sharing. haha Soon to be released. Some of the Japanese retails sites have them up but show the quantity in stock as zero, which is a common practice there when a bait is going to be available soon (within a month or so). northeast_trev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSlant Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Not sure i like the name it is getting complicated linquistically for me. Right...us dang Americans...I believe the chibi part means "short" though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Not sure i like the name it is getting complicated linquistically for me. "Chibi" means small or tiny. Usually it implies cute as well but it just means a smaller version of something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collin117 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) About 5.1 in, 1.5 oz. I was able to get in contact with a Japanese retailer who had a couple in stock, so I'm hoping to have a few within the next couple of weeks. If all goes well, I will post more info..

DeltaBassinWithJP Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I have to agree, I don't even know what if I'm saying most of this right. That being said, definitely interested in checking one of these out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Ramen Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Yeah, technically everyone here is otaku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSlant Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 So I reached out to a few Japanese tackle shops both online vendors and actual shops via email and surprisingly they all responded vey quickly...the answer I got re this bait was "we had one or two, will not have anymore this year"..."maybe next year"... I don't know exactly what that means...maybe 2016? For now they are unavailable in Japan which means we are a ways out...unless you know somebody I guess collin117 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
