My fishing partner found the lure that the Koreans were having such great luck with last weekend.
It either that or something very, very similar to that. It’s hard to tell from this pic, but if I remember right, the ones they were using may have been a bit thicker…not really sure. They can be found here. I’ve never used a tube or grub before so if anyone else has tried them and can share some stories I’d be glad to hear them.
I use the same one, only with a curly tail – worked well at Goseom last Saturday.
There’s something increasingly fishy about this blog.
Was wondering, what kind of pole do you use?
Oranckay,
Your suspicions are well founded, because tis the season, don’t you know.
I use an open-faced spinning reel on a 6′ rod with 10 pound line, nothing fancy. Thinking about wetting a line?
Ummmmm . . . is that a strap-on model I see?
Very interesting. I should get one and see if it helps me in business dealings too. Maybe my Korean counterparts would bite more often on my proposals.
“Bite more often on my proposals.”
That sounds so dirty when you say that.
Nomad, I’m fishing in a tournament at Idong Lake this Sunday. Got any Senko’s I can borrow???
Rob,
Where the heck is Idong lake? And sorry man, I’m running low, only have enough for myself.
Hehe.
Well, I would tell you where it’s at but since you don’t have any extra Senkos, my memory is a little shaky this morning. lol
I’m not positive, but I think it’s Songjeon Lake. I guess the sign off of new 45 says Idong Lake, haven’t seen it, but that’s what I’m told. I’m pretty sure it’s the same lake.
20,000 Won entry fee, 1 million to me, or I mean the one who catches the two biggest fish, which will be me. lol
Wanna go?
LOL, good one Rob
Ah, Sunday is church day. Hey email me and I can give you some tips about that lake…as long as you share that 1 million won with me.
Oh my God, something just hit me…email me at my gmail address, this is great!
email’s on the way…
How do you guys get all these jumping bass? I am up here in Uijongbu. The bass jump like crazy but wont hit anything….

Joe,
I can’t speak for the others, but in my case it’s mainly luck.
Joe, Nomad is holding back on ya my friend. He’s got secret weapons and methods but refuses to share them with anyone!!! I’ve tried to pry them out of him for nearly a year now without any luck.
Personally, I like spinner baits and have caught several nice bass in the 2.5 years that I’ve lived here. However, most people that I know catch them on plastic worms. A friend of mine likes to use the biggest ones he can find, usually 7″. He says, “if you want a big fish you have to use a big bait.”
By the way, I’m moving to Seoul soon (not too far from uijongbu). Can you recommend any decent lakes?
Good luck!
Nomad: A member of a group of people who have no fixed home and move according to the seasons from place to place in search of food, water, and grazing land.
Now, you can’t tell me that a guy who lives off the land in search of food doesn’t have any fishing secrets! lol
Rob,
I don’t think I have any secrets as I’ve always gone into detail on where I fished, what lures I tried, and which one(s) were successful I said luck because every time I think I’m getting close to figuring out what makes the bass tick (i.e. I catch some decent fish), I find out I was wrong, usually the very next fishing trip, lol.
I’ve always had my best luck with worms – last year it was a blackberry colored Zoom U-tail, and this year it’s the black Senko. I haven’t done so well with spinner baits and crankbaits.
Nomad, I was in no way serious when I said you were holding back. I was just joking.
Rob,
I knew that…if that reply sounded too serious, chalk it up to the early hour and lack of caffeine.
Note to self: No posting before the first cup of coffee.
LOL Nomad…
Thanks
I’ve heard of that thing and it sounds good and looks good, but all Yamamoto Plastics are a bit spendy. I’ve got so much plastic I don’t use already. If they are still around maybe I’ll try em next season. I think they would be deadly on docks and pitching backward rigged.
Hopefully Zoom or someone else will come out with something similar so I don’t have to pay such steep prices.
BP,
Yes – Yamamoto products are pricy but they work, and well. There’s something about the way those worms sink and move that bass just can’t seem to resist. I did a little test 2 days ago and today. We were getting hits on Yamamoto Senkos, so I switched to other types of plastic (different brands, types, colors) and not a bite. I also tried spinner baits and various crank baits, again nothing. Went back to the Senkos and got bass. Of course, I’m not discounting the chance that I have no clue how to properly fish with spinners or crankbaits either, as I’ve never had a lot of luck with them at all which makes me think it’s me, not the lures.
