Our Pro Staff Team

Sascha Erlemann
Head of Sales & Marketing

My name is Sascha, born in the 90s and an enthusiastic fisherman from a young age.

I first got to know Japanese fishing companies, especially Megabass, around 2014 and immediately fell in love with the material. Since then and my first Megabass Destroyer rod, things have happened to me and I have completely fallen for the JDM tackle craze.

I had the idea to get into the tackle business at the beginning of 2017 and since then my partner Igor and I have built up Japan Dream Tackle.

At Japan Dream Tackle I am the Pro-Staff Team Manager, Marketing/Sales Manager and WebShop Admin

JENS 'JNZ' Kretschmer
PRO STAFF TEAM

Hey, my name is Jens and I come from the dark east of Germany.

I've been fishing with a rod since the tender age of 6 and, according to my friend, the whole thing takes on more extreme forms every year. While in the early days coarse fishing and stand fishing were on the agenda, for about 12 years I have been fishing 99% of the time with the spinning/cast rod, preferably for pike, perch and zander. The first Destroyer PhaseIII combo was ordered from Japan about 7 years ago. Love at first sight followed by an extreme Megabass fetish. Since then, an impressive collection of (exclusively) MB rods has been created, which are of course fished thoroughly. Through the Megabass madness, contact with Sascha / JapanDreamTackle inevitably came about.

Since 2020 I have been representing their pro staff team with the “specialty” megabass.

Andreas Falk
PRO STAFF TEAM

Hey, mone name is Andi,

I am now 37 years old or young and come from the most beautiful federal state, Saarland.

I've only been in the JDT family for a few months now. But I'm not a blank slate. I have done some reporting for Bass Junkie and have been fishing for a relatively large Italian company for the last 7 years.

My main focus is on spin fishing for perch and zander and in the closed season, but I also like to fly for brown trout throughout the year.

I have now also arrived in the Japanese area. Over the years I have always been thrown into the deep end. In addition to the local predators, I also like to hunt second bass. Of course I mean the Black Bass. In the future I will provide you with pictures and video material as well as reviews about awesome tackle.

tranquil victories in the aforementioned Siegerland.
I started fishing at the age of 10 in the local fishing club, which was then established
Madenbaden and other residences on the agenda.
After a break of about 5 years, I started fishing again in my early 20s and have been since
For about 8 years I have been primarily involved in predator fishing. For the love of JDM, I'm 4 before
Years ago, looking for new input because it was so much more delicate and specific
There are techniques, baits and tackle that fascinate me and motivate me every time
To outwit the local robbers with the latest tackle from overseas.

I now go on the water with my kayak, a Hobie PA 14 360, which is a good thing
Equipped with all the bells and whistles that make fishing easier and I'm always on the lookout for new things
try it out and learn.
My home waters are the Sieg, the dams around Siegen and mostly on weekends
the waters in the Netherlands.
I hope that I can present my experiences in written and visual form for everyone, everyone
enjoy reading/watching something and thereby motivate yourself to pursue your best hobby

Dominik Wollrath
Pro-Staff Team / reeldoctor

My name is Dominik, I'm 39 years old and I come from tranquil Hesse, in the middle of Germany. My home waters include the Fulda River, where I had my first attempts at fishing at the age of 5 and was able to master them successfully.

As you can see in the picture, the zander, along with the perch, is one of my favorite target fish, as it has an incredibly fascinating effect on me (my PB with 98cm in the picture above). I'm completely dedicated to baitcasting and have been servicing and tuning reels of all kinds for quite some time.

I'm now the youngest member of the ProStaffers and I'm really looking forward to the next great time with the biggest fish possible, a lot of talking shop and lots of cool stuff from Japan Dream Tackle.

Thank you very much and I'm glad to be part of the team.

Always tight lines and a big Petri to you!

Adrian Gorgievski
Pro Staff Team

Good morning
My name is Adrian Gorgievski. 26 years young and native of the Ruhr area.

I have been intensively involved in predator fishing for some time now. The local perch and bass come first. I love fishing from my yaks. I'm always on the water with too much tackle XD

But that's exactly my thing. Many rods, many techniques, endless lure selection. A wide variety of JDM tackle is at the forefront. Basically I travel on the Dutch rivers/lakes and large bodies of water. I've always gone to Italy to fish for bass, but there's probably more to come!
The appeal of exploring new waters and always getting the target fish on the line is always there. So what else can I say...the bus full of tackle, the kayak on the roof and off we go!!!

Now I will be happy to support the Prostaff team and share my experiences on the water.

Thanks to the team and all time tight lines!

Michael Wulf
Pro Staff Team

Hey!

My name is Michael Wulf, I'm 83 and I come from the beautiful Münsterland.

It felt like I was fishing before I could walk. Thanks to my grandfather, I was at the water early and often. It started with pole fishing, then moved on to carp fishing, until I caught spinfish fever, which I now do exclusively. Baitcasting, the different rigs and options, and the high-end Japanese quality of rods, reels and lures in particular fascinate me enormously.

Absolute Zenaq, Ever Green, Megabass and OSP fanatic!

Wolf Van Der Weij
Pro Staff Team

Hey!

My name is Wolf Van Der Weij, and I'm from Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

I've been fishing almost since I could walk and I've been on the search for the dutch predators since the very beginning.

I came to Japanese high-end tackle through a friend who introduced me to it.

From the beginning on I was in love with the detailed work that Japanese manufacturers adjusted in their products.

I am finesse fishing specialized and I love fishing for pike, perch, and zander. These fish seem to keep fascinating me and so they are my main target fish while fishing in the Dutch waters.

At the moment I'm now the youngest member of the Japan Dream Tackle Pro-Staff team. I'm always looking for the biggest possible fish, lots of tackle talk and lots of great experiences at Japan Dream Tackle.

When fishing, you get to meet new people and have unique experiences together.

Fishing is a passion that connects, that's what drives me!

At Japan Dream Tackle I represent the pro-staff team.
