Yamatanuki Rigging Secret. What the creator told us.

Hello! This is Angler Waki. In this video, I’ll share a valuable tip for using the Gary Yamamoto Yamatanuki, a fantastic lure created by Gary International, Gary Yamamoto’s Japanese retailer. Mr. Kawabe, the president of Gary International and the creator of Yamatanuki, recommends a deep piercing hook setting, which is to set the hook point further back than usual to prevent the lure from slipping out of the fish’s mouth. This is what he recommends.

Hello. Thank you for stopping by my channel. I hope you enjoy the video!

[@ryandoherty6174]

Subtitles are definitely not necessary. You have better English than many! Great video as per usual 🙂

[@AnglerWaki]

Thank you! 😃

[@JanoyCresva]

Thank you! I've had a bag of these in my tackle backpack for a long time and just never really used it. Ill try now!

[@AnglerWaki]

Good luck! 👍🍀

[@steveo6631]

I just got home from slaying smallmouth all day... I have a couple different sizes and colors of this lure, and can't wait to try the creator's tip... Thanks for sharing and glad I found your channel... I just subscribed, my friend... Regards

[@AnglerWaki]

👍👍

[@ajmack82]

Definitely interested in that lure. Excellent video as always.

[@AnglerWaki]

Thanks 👍

[@andrewgonzalez6515]

So I’ve been using this bait since its release. The yamatanuki in all sizes absolutely slays. The cupped face and that tail give a crazy action that you won’t get elsewhere. Imo I believe the best place to fish this lure is rip rap rock because everytime the bait hits a rock the tail jiggles in the back driving the bass crazy I highly recommend getting these lures if you want a fun day of fishing

[@AnglerWaki]

Yup, it's a great lure!

[@CDSilverado]

I like this guy. Down to earth type of person! Great fisherman.

[@AnglerWaki]

Haha. Thank you 👍

Awesome and thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks 👍

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

I run a mustad infiltrator 4/0 and a large owner spring lock. Was able to get 5 bass on 1 tanuki. Tight lines 🎣

[@lEddieHarris]

I enjoy the editing thanks for the great tips 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏

[@AnglerWaki]

Glad you enjoyed! 👍

[@mobasser]

Another great video, I’ll try your rigging tip as I have been missing fish but just thought it was small fish, thank you!

[@AnglerWaki]

Thanks! 👍

[@drewmacdonald3700]

Awesome!!

Thanks!

I love your videos. You are the best!

Wow, thank you!

Thank you for your videos much love from California

I rig the small yamatanuki on Zappu ringed piledriver 1/0 and have great success and hookup ratio.Decoy versatile keeper helps to set it on the perfect position Thanks for sharing.

[@AnglerWaki]

[@ChizuMcCheems]

I forgot where I heard it but using a 5/0 ewg hook is really helpful, i been crushing bass on the green pumpkin/amber tanuki going weedless/weightless. Thanks for the video!

[@AnglerWaki]

Yup! Thanks for a tip 👍

[@jamienguyen476]

Just caught PB on this bait yesterday! 5.2 in NH usa big for over here.

[@AnglerWaki]

Congrats 👍

[@Love_to_Fish_Bfs]

2.5 is a BFS killing machine!!! My confidence bait for now I’ve gotten my PB on that bait this year 4.5lb 👍

[@AnglerWaki]

[@MrRourk]

Point comes out same place. I fish it lost child rig with a nail weight in the head. Works really well that way.

[@AnglerWaki]

👍

[@ZZ430T56]

I know in Japan it is harder to catch Bass. But in the US, we catch many and can not afford to lose one bait with every Bass. So with soft Yamamoto baits I use Owner 4/0 Twistlock hooks. Baits last much longer. Also on the Yamatanuki, I turn the hook one hundred eighty degrees and do not use the hook slots. The hook slots cause me more missed bass.

[@AnglerWaki]

Yeah. It's true. More anglers than bass.

[@davidcloyd1296]

Thanks! That makes sense and shouldn’t negatively affect the action as the tail is still free to wiggle.. however,, with the hook eye buried in the bait and the line coming through the head it makes it easier for the line to cut through the head and lose the bait. Oh well, I’m not sure a bait would last more than a couple fish anyway.

[@AnglerWaki]

Yes. That's what I had in the video! Could be an okay trade-off, though...

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Mountain Tanuki.
I have a 2"-3" high Tanuki couple in my house, bringing us good luck.
Great name for a lure.

[@AnglerWaki]

Yeah. The tail looks like a Raccoon(Tanuki, 狸)'s tail.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

@@AnglerWaki I noticed the tail. 😆

[@gregchilders7643]

I like using the mustad 91768 30degree jig hook in the 1/0 size with a large owner screwlock for the 2.5 size .the large owner screwlock helps hold the bait better with less tearouts plus the gap is big enough that when the hookslot gets worn out i just turn the bait halfway and rig straight thru . It positions hook as described in your video

[@AnglerWaki]

Thank you for the tips.

[@drock5404]

I love the Tanuki. Have had a lot of success with smallmouth in rivers, rigged with an owner ultra finess head. I wish they'd have made a 2.75" instead of the 2.5" though.

[@AnglerWaki]

I want 2". They introduced 4.25" instead...

[@soevasive]

Hey do you have to go down a size with the hook if you rig it the way youre showing

[@AnglerWaki]

I don't think so.

[@Smallmouthnation]

🙏👊

[@AnglerWaki]

👍

[@drock5404]

If you have a lake you regularly fish, i recommend getting a seriously bright headlamp and spend a couple nights doing some investigation. If you find a good apot for bass to push shad or other baitfish up shallow where they can't escape to deep water easily, you're going to find some pigs coming in on the darkest nights, guaranteed. The light will help you find the baitfish and hopefully spot some bass.

[@AnglerWaki]

Maybe when the neighbors went into deep sleep.

[@A.S.I_FishingAlong]

Try using owner monster screw lock hook

[@AnglerWaki]

I tried a screw keeper but figured out I love a standard EWG.

[@johnm2617]

I use a razor blade ! And cut the slit with hook point deeper ! Especially ahead of the hook point ! Bait folds easy ! Good hookups ! Peace buddy!!😮😮

[@AnglerWaki]

👍

[@andyd834]

I got that z man rattle snaker. Bet a rattle in one of those would be good.

[@AnglerWaki]

👍

[@alex_darsen]

I would want to rig this bait the way I rig an Ika: come in through the top like usual, but skin-hook the point on the *outside of the body towards the back.

[@AnglerWaki]

👍

[@timb8970]

Any chance you will show underwater footage in future videos? Thank you!

[@AnglerWaki]

Want to do but it's too much. When I retire maybe.

[@JVig77]

I like using a screw lock style hook, go through less baits.

[@AnglerWaki]

👍

[@Kodakgee]

Is this good for spotties?

[@AnglerWaki]

Not yet tried but they love anything anyway. Let's try.

[@johnnythepillpopper1974]

Do you ever use spinning rod set up, if you do….can you make videos

[@AnglerWaki]

Any setup can go along with BFS is no problem with spinning.

[@rickvann3489]

After rigging it superglue the front of the bait, they tear up less

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

Use a large owner spring lock

[@bobobob121]

4/0 or 5/0 ?

[@AnglerWaki]

1/0 or 2/0.

[@fadethenoise9704]

10lbs line and that hook size does not worry you? Let's say a fish over 4lbs.

[@AnglerWaki]

I got your point. I'm confident I can catch over 5lbs with that setup here. Since I know the spot well and there aren't many covers in the water.

[@dillon999]

One day I will learn what sunglasses you are wearing

[@AnglerWaki]

I really don't know what it is and why you want to know it.... A cheap one from BPS. The one I use for fishing is DAIWA, though...

[@dillon999]

@@AnglerWaki I like the style! Ok thank you!
