Yeah, to me this rig isn’t like a traditional drop-shot, where it works in the majority of situations. I think it is more of a niche technique that can give an edge in certain situations but isn’t quite necessary in others. Thanks
Caught one dink a few years ago. Nothing since; however, your presentation using ZMan plastics revives my interest to use it again. I make my own rigs; only have to invest in tungsten weights.
@@SonarFishing , I own lots of ZMan plastics. In recent years I can’t get a bite on them. You continues presentations on this fine product gives me confidence to use them again.
That's similar to a wired weight we use in Lake Erie for walleye called a bottom-bouncer. Most people use bottom bouncers for trolling but we drag them as we're drift fishing. The same idea to keep the bait at that bottom level.
I actually use heavy weights and use it exclusively for punching mats. Goes easily in and out of the cover and keeps the bait out of the silt. Caught multiple large mouth bass over 5lbs last year using it. Recommend it to anyone fishing extremely heavy cover.
Hey! ❣️❄️🌱🪴 RUclips recommended one of your videos, and I must say, you post awesome stuff. I love it, and I want to see you on top! By the way, I was wondering if you or your friend need a video editor or thumbnail designer. I am Mohan, a professional video editor and thumbnail designer with 4.5 years of experience in creating engaging and high-quality videos and thumbnails for RUclips.

Yes, a lighter weight may do a lot of good and help your catch rate. Also, as with any technique it just takes time and persistence to figure out where (if at all) a technique fits into an individual’s arsenal. Certainly hope this video helps you figure out if it fits in yours!
You know I was thinking the same thing, but I think there is something to having a rigid wire dropper for certain situations that keeps the bait separated from the weight.
thank you for continuing to bring out the new techniques and baits, I also hope that that your daughter is doing well.
She is doing very well considering. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. I will keep them coming.
Great content. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
You had me at snoot
Great video!! Been fishing the Tokyo rig a few years now!! I love it and had success with it!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!! 🤠👍
I’m enjoying learning more about it myself!
This year I’ve switched to this over the Texas rig and has been working great!
Tried it a little bit last year with no luck. Going to give it a shot again though.

Yeah, I really think Elaztech is well suited for this technique!

Can you do a video on drop-shot???
You bet! Ill get one coming when I get the chance!

Yeah, there’s a few things on the market used for different situations that are similar.
Tokyo rig works great with swimbaits, also!
That actually sounds like a great bait to use with one. Ill have to try that.

Probably work good in farm ponds with dirty bottom
In fact, I think this may be one of the better techniques for still water fisheries like farm ponds!
The doors are so easy to make a Tokyo I have two of them that I made myself play like how I did
Yep, they are pretty easy to make yourself for sure!
If you drag it side ways the weight & wire can get snagged, have you ever fished weiss lake, the tokyo rig would be great there!👍🎣

Never had any luck with it. You said to use lighter weight. Thanks I was using heavy weight. I will retry!

A short powershot works 100% better.
