Lightning Round with Taku Ito

Less than a decade into his Elite Series career, Japanese pro Taku Ito has become a fan favorite for a variety of reasons – including his incredible angling skills, his relentlessly positive attitude and his willingness to express how he feels.

I caught up with him at Table Rock Lake to get some insights into the US fisheries that he likes best, along with his thoughts on certain regions of the country. Some of his answers made complete sense but at least one provided a serious surprise.
