I just discovered your website and am thrilled to see an American website knowledgeable about finesse fishing with Japanese gear for trout. I have only recently rediscovered the joy of trout fishing and, as of last fall, have been learning various techniques from a veteran Japanese angler where I live in Osaka, Japan. The sheer variety of reels, rods, lures etc. here in Japan is mind-boggling and to have access to information written in English is of great help.

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.
Seriously, all the hooks sold on Finesse-Fishing.com, whether packaged as loose hooks or attached to lures, are dangerously sharp. Some have barbs, which make removal from skin, eyes or clothing difficult. Wear eye protection. Wear a broad-brimmed hat. If you fish with or around children, bend down all hook barbs and make sure the children wear eye protection and broad-brimmed hats. Be aware of your back cast so no one gets hooked.
Also, all the rods sold on Finesse-Fishing.com will conduct electricity. Do not, under any circumstances, fish during a thunder storm. Consider any fishing rod to be a lightning rod! Fishing rods can and do get hit by lightning!
Whatever you do, do it with finesse!
