X Factor JDM Plastic

Post by Sterfry26 » Sun Jan 10, 2021 11:51 am

Hello,

Recently I have been using a lot of JDM plastics and I was wondering what your "X Factor" bait was the last season. I'm sure some people won't want to burn their favorites but I think it would be fun to see. I'll go first. Mine has been the spark shad in 3 inch as well as the osp dolive gill.

Bait Breath Rush Craw rigged with a Tiemco Pdl Bait Finesse Jig. Fished it all year. Fished it in shallow water, fished it in deep water, always seems to be a consistent producer.

I enjoyed everything from Dstyle, The Truster 3.8, and both sizes of the Virola are awesome baits.

The virola looks awesome. Where do you order your JDM plastics from?

Definitely will be picking up some of those jigs. Where do you order them from?

I've had better luck sourcing nuclear grade plutonium at times.

I've gotten them at jpangler.com, but I think I bought all of them out during my last order. :lol:

Or you can pay $500 on eBay! https://www.ebay.com/itm/TIEMCO-rubber- ... SwszVeNEIu

I do Google searches for the Tiemcos and can barely find them anywhere. If you find some stock, let me know! These 'jigs' are extremely versatile.

For me..hands down the OSP Do-Live Beaver, especially the newer 4' version. I run them on home made jika, or for the 3.5 a G-Finnese Trickyhead.

O.S.P. soft baits are just as productive as the hard baits.

Try the SVSB too, ironically its a small bait but it gets bit by all kinds of fish.

Japanimportackle.com Munenori is the exclusive USA importer of Dstyle products and is A+ Customer Service. He can order you anything in the Dstyle lineup.


Dstyle tends of have a finesse approach to all of its baits. Everything they make has a pretty cool concept to it.

Btw, If its FECO plastics, Mend it works great on them. This will help you curve the cost of going JDM with your soft plastics :big grin:

Do-Live Beaver in 3'5" on free rig or jika rig! OSP soft and hard baits are so effective.
