Every year, when I go to the United States, I feel half excitement and half anxiety. Leaving Japan and being in America, where a different language is spoken, always makes me nervous. Especially this time, as I decided to sell MBD’s baits at the Bassmaster Classic Swimbait Universe booth, I felt more unsettled than usual before my trip.
Arriving in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with excitement and anxiety, I am grateful to Xao Yeshua, who helped me with everything on this trip that started with lost luggage. Thanks to him, my backpack also arrived safely. I reunited with the members of Universe and prepared for the main event at the hotel.
The next day, as I entered the venue, I saw sights I had never seen before. The excitement didn’t stop as I saw many manufacturer booths, trophies, and swim baits for the first time.
In front of the Swim Bait Universe booth, many people lined up every day, and I felt the excitement of swim bait once again. This excitement is something you can’t find on the internet. Every time I come to America, feeling this excitement makes my spirits soar.
On the third day of the event, MBD lined up at the Swimbait Universe table with Trashy Bass Swimbaits.
I was very happy to be able to directly convey my gratitude to everyone who made a purchase. Your smiles and words support MBD’s growth.
The memories at Swimbait Universe will always remain in my heart. To everyone I met at the Bassmaster Classic, thank you so much! Let’s meet at the Gathering next time!
