HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB's Diary of Fishing Tackle Shop Spending. 〜Casting Edition

HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB has been in existence for two years. We started bass fishing as a way to "chill out" together in a relaxed and fun atmosphere, but we got so hooked on the sport that we wanted to pursue our own unique style. So, I started a project to find a reel that suits my rod "SWAGGER"! And while we're at it, let's go shopping for lures and other things as our desires take us. Shopping is as much of a stress reliever as fishing!

The purse strings are loose. Buy everything you want!

We visited Casting Higashikurume Store. The store offers an overwhelming lineup of products for all kinds of fishing, including bass, salt, mountain streams, and so on. Like children in a toy store, the members of the group were excited and ready to shop.

Director of HOUYHNHNM FISHING CLUB . . said, "I was looking forward to it. . Whenever I come to a fishing tackle shop, I always stay there for a long time and tend to buy things other than what I want. Today, I'm looking for reels, but I'm planning to buy a lot of other things as well."

. writes mainly for fashion magazines and web magazines. I always come to fishing tackle shops alone, so it's more fun when I'm with other people! I don't really know how to choose a bait reel from the Internet, so I need the staff to tell me."
