    Shimnao fishing vest 21,000 Japanese yen, The conversion is about $210 not including tax and shipping. So your looking at least around $250 get it here. Then the cost of all your lures in the vest plus another $210

    your walking around in a $450 vest plus your rod and reel

    this vest is 32,000 yen. I think this is more for ISO fishing, jetty fishing.

    From the videos I've watch it doesn't look to me the vest pockets get in the way.


    Look at all the lucky crafts you can take with you on a trip.

    Ive watch guys ISO fish, rocking fish and surf fish and I haven't seen anything bad.

    The fly fishing vest are different, look at the shoulder part of the vest, there's no support. And they don't float. These Japanese vest are also floating life vest. Well unless you put to much heavy stuff in your pockets.
    .

    i currently use the WFO fanny pack. It's ok but.....

    assuming your able to find a vender that is willing to ship it here, you'll have to select the one that you think you actually like with out trying it on. And you will also have to select the color.

    You also have the currency transaction fee on your credit card.

    I dont know about that yellow one...they kind of remind me of the backpacks the school kids wear in japan...pretty bulky. I have a flyfishing vest with big storage pouches on both sides...has a ton of pouches, but when theyre all filled with gear...Well, lets just say i can imagine what it feels like to be dolly parton when shes 80.

    That is the reason a slingpack is a much better option. I don't need 48DD's getting in the way of my already flawed fly fishing casting motion!

    Hmmmmmm..........


    which one do I want.........

    so many to choose from...






    like many other things I've notice.

    They start overseas and slowly migrate to the states.

    Samsung phones, play station, Nintendo's, skyline/ Nissan 240

    I remember when I was in Japan around 2000 and I saw that they had those self printing pictures where you stick in the memory card and you choose the pictures you want to print. I don't know what you call them. The ones in kinko's. I knew those where going to eventually hit the states.


    Several years past and what do I see pop up in kinko's. Those self serve developing picture boxs.

    And like with many things when it hits the states there are modification to accommodate the u.s. buyer and to pass state and federal regulations. And some times it doesn't resemble the original design.


    Im not saying everthing from over seas comes to the states. But there is a lot. More then you would imagine.

    I waited for my "keepon" dancing thing for ages but when it hit the u.s market it wasn't the same.

    Im waiting for my 4k oled TV and then the 8k oled TV.

    Yeah, I'm still waiting for the human vending machine to arrive.



    Or my Ramen cooler.



    Or my pancake juice.



    And have you seen the boob scarves? I'd post a pic, but I'm afraid the post would be NSFW.

    I also do appreciate this:



    and this:
