USING A TOKYO RIG FOR BASS... MY FIRST TIME TRYING IT AND MY IMPRESSIONS

In this vid I try the Tokyo Rig for the first time... being a newbie to the technique I wanted to record the results and my first impressions and set up I chose to use. Overall I really like it and see massive potential in certain situations.

It's funny how a small change in a lures presentation attracts pressured fish in pressured waters like crazy.

We are giving it an honest effort!

[@xibfwmz]

Works really well as swing head as well so lone won't be cut with shells or what not on bottom

[@JPDeRoseOutdoors]

Nice!

[@chuckfish1855]

I've learned that if you bend the wire in to an L shape instead of a J it will grab less weeds

[@JPDeRoseOutdoors]

That will work too. I make it small enough to fit inside the bottom of the weight and had very few issues

[@shorefishingontario]

@@JPDeRoseOutdoors I'm going to try that

[@douglasspickler4925]

I'm no help JP, I have a couple packs in my boat but never think about tying one on. Too many techniques and I'm stuck in my old ways. 😁

[@JPDeRoseOutdoors]

Totally understand!

[@grapenut9]

Interesting technique, JP. Considering hook types and length of wire, the possibilities are almost endless. Thanks for sharing !

@Mitch Meeks, Mike Long has come out with a signature model snagging treble Tokyo rig!

[@willperryman4559]

I think it’s great that you’re getting into the Tokyo rig. I’ve got a dozen, just because of the different hooks available, but we have so much snot grass in North Carolina it’s one I don’t use as much as I want to.👍

Just so you know, Trudeau is following you on the tracking app on your phone and selling your coordinates to buy coke;)

I’ve punched with a Tokyo rig successfully! I hate dropshotting and the tokyo rig is what I use when I should ds but don’t want to.

[@xxtripl3thr33xx]

I use two bullet weights, rigged in opposite positions. One for a clean entry and one so it comes out clean.

[@JPDeRoseOutdoors]

Smart idea with the double weights!

[@bobmckenzie6167]

I have both the rigs and those baits in a tote someplace and I've never thrown them.

[@JPDeRoseOutdoors]

They work! I can see some huge benefits...going to try to throw some other baits and situations this week!
