Bank fishing isn’t easy.
Limited access. Bad angles. Sometimes we can’t even reach the best spots.
Meanwhile, boat anglers can cover water, chase fish, and fish areas we simply can’t reach from shore.
But in Japan, where bank fishing is extremely popular, anglers developed a different approach.
Instead of fishing faster, they learned how to fish slower.
In this video, I use a Japanese finesse technique called the Neko Rig with the Bottomup Breavor II, a worm designed by legendary Japanese bank angler Kotaro Kawamura.
While the boats were covering water with reaction baits, I slowed down and picked apart the area from the bank.
The result?
An over 8-pound-class largemouth bass.
This is why Japanese finesse techniques continue to be some of the most effective tools for bank anglers.

Bank fishing isn't easy.
Limited access. Bad angles. Boats everywhere.
But sometimes… that's exactly why finesse works.
Have you ever out-fished boat anglers from the bank?
Great catch and great scenery, Waki san. Otsukare samadeshita๐
excellent catch Waki!
Congratulations on that Whopper Bass!!
Beautiful reservoir that you're fishing! I too am mostly a bank angler and really enjoy it. It seems that finesse fishing has been the best way to catch Smallmouth Bass on the river that I fish. I've recently been trying Finesse Jigs and they have been working very well for me. Artificial Hellgrammites are great too. Love your channel Sir!!! Subscribed and liked.
Great job. Beautiful fish. ๐ฃ ๐๐ค๐ป
YEAH! ANGLER WAKIIII!!!!!
Congratulations, Waki! Landing a fish in the 10 Pound class using light line and finesse gear is truly an art you have become in tune with.
Thank you for sharing!
What a beautiful background fir a Awesome catch. Congratulations. Something special about Southern Cali and Big Bass. Been watching for 4 years. Love your style. Yiu are the biggest reason I started using JDM baits. Next step is some bougee Daiwa / Shimano gear. Leaning towards Daiwa. Any suggestions ??
