Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.
This was a damn commercial disguised as a fishing tips and tricks video
So what?!
may be a stupid question , but how would you connect the welded ring to the hook eye ?
This can be made with a EWG hook, a split ring, a barrel swivel, and a paper clip. Much cheaper than buying the actual rig. Not ripping on Mike, he's getting paid to promote this, but there is no reason to buy this when you can make it yourself in a few minutes.
Отличное видео !!!👍👍👍🐟🐟🐟 Познавательно 👍
I saved allot of money by making my own with snap rings, swivels, tear drop sinkers and wide gap hooks lol.
Nice if you dont want to have to look for the material to make your own, but you can make tons for cheap if you do.
"Ah man I can't tell you how many time's I've been drop shotting and I wished the bottom 3 inches of my line was a steel rod"
Unedited Gamer nah it’s just an extended jika rig
I thought the same thing but the only good thing about this is you can put it on a snap if you don’t wanna keep re-tieing when you’re using cranks, jerks, jigs, and all that
The action of this looks phenomenal. Can't wait to get my hands on one and try it.
Hook, split, ring, barrel swivel and a paper clip. You can make one in a few minutes.
@@tommymckiddy7872 Good tip
And for 19.99 you can have yours today ,but wait we'll double that offer just pay a separate fee
lol
But wait! Theres more!
Looks like a glorified drop shot to me
.....because it is.
Lol oh really? no shit, dude. It is supposed to be better than a drop shot because of that wire
Idiot
jessandchanrmyfam y’all Americans don’t know alot do you, it clearly is a wannabe jika rig.
Only benefit of it is you can throw it on a snap
Fish has all kinds of leverage to throw it on a jump head shake though. Get him in the boat quick.
Split ring, piece of 030 spinnerbait wire, done deal. Been doing this in the south for years!
Why would you buy this @ $4.50 per pack? This looks like the easiest rig every to make.
I was skeptical at first and even made the comment that it was a glorified drop shot. I was wrong, it works.
Great to hear that you gave it a try and it worked 👍 What did you catch with it?
I bend the wire down-leader in a 45-degree angle and call it the Hiroshima Rig.
Oh my 😂
Seems like a really unnatural presentation that the fish might avoid..
@@jamie.777 im still gonna try it one day maybe lol

этот монтаж я знаю!
Fishing tutprial .. awesome .. my friend
That is simply a dropshot rig. On drugs

So, let me get this straight: you've got a swivel, split ring, a stiff wire that goes through a weight and gets bent, and a hook. That's a lot of connections and areas where muck, grass, and weeds can collect and get fouled and snagged. Plus, the entire thing is loosely connected so it will just collapse in on itself with the weighted wire swinging anywhere it wants to including against the soft-plastic, unless you just keep reeling it in fast at a spot where there's no cover or structure whatsoever which would beg the question why in the heck are you fishing where fish are most likely not to be? Of course, maybe, just maybe, you can fish this vertically but wait, is there something better that doesn't have a bunch of metal attached to it? I think there might be..... hmmmmmmm....... what do they call it? It's a colorful weight with a hook attached to it, starts with a j...... A jig! That's it! Dear Lord is anybody really buying and using this ridiculous contraption?
thank you! what people don't realize is that is it NOT just the hook that catches weeds: in heavy vegetation, anything can catch onto the weeds, most commonly, the weight itself despite the bullet shape ....I would have to try this myself in heavy weeds to see what would happen...
I would think that wire looks unnatural and would spook the fish, but it must work to be so popular...If fish are ok with metal wires, braided line should not spook fish...
I will say that i much prefer the tokyo to the texas rig and I've had plenty on the tokyo. In my opinion, that steel wire is not even really seen by the fish because of the way youre fishing it. The bait will get seen mostly from above or at eye level. Maybe it is seen it just doesnt bother them?again, just my opinion
I've been using something like that for two years. I guess I should have named it...🤣🤣 I can tell you it works great with a TuR.D
We missed out man.. haha. I think they make em to short.. I make 6"-8" ones
I made this two years ago and called it the snapshot rig cause it’s a drop shot that you can use a snap and not have to retie. Makes you able to put cranks and drop shots in one rod
what lure are you using on the rig?
Been making these forever.. I think ur length sucks.. u should make them at least 6". And cut em down of need be. I make mine upwards of 8" even.. on a half slack line has mad action
I was wondering about increasing the wire length.
Can you get the wire to stand up straight and then just twitch the lure 8" above the bottom, like drop shotting? Or, because of all the loose connections, does it just all collapse?
@@matthewbeckwith663 ive made them up to like 8". Muddy bottoms and such.. But works good. Does take a bit of getting used to tho
Отлично выстрелил этой осенью по судаку. Единственное, что стоит сделать это увеличить длину спицы до 15см.
Лучше прочих оснасток проходит завалы камней.
Been doing this for a couple of years as a punching rig on the California Delta. Some of you are right it’s a drop shot on steroids.

No doubt, it works good, but in submerged vegetation, grass, I think there is just too much hardware that would catch the grass (swivels, ring and the curled loop at the end of the wire, not to mention the sinkers and hook.)
In the water it doesn't act much different than a regular texas rig
Kevin Schneider I think it looks decently different since Texas rig has that bullet singer affecting the action of the bait. The bait is no longer free to have its horizontal action (comes from that barrel swivel). But looks like a lot of guys figured out alternative diy options, which I might try.
The Tokyo Rig IS the real deal!! I have fished the standard EWG hook rig in 3/0 & it catches fish!! I have simply pitched into pads, weeds, wood, etc. with a 5" stickworm (Senko type) jigged it, dragged it, etc. & they can't stand it!! Best new deal for me in a long time & I haven't even tried it with creatures etc.. Why when the sticks work so well??
This looks like it would be awesome to inshore flounder fishing.
shit why didn't I think of this.... lol
I agree, they are selling like crazy and it is just a wire drop shot.
Because the hook eye is free to rotate along the split ring, does this set up allow the lure to still sit parallel to the bottom? If so, this may be a way to approximate a drop shot presentation without remaining perfectly vertical.
🤔
What soft plastic is being used in this video?
the name of the silicone on which you caught the size and color number is thankful in advance
Make my own easy to make i catch lots of fish on the TOKYO ALIEN
The wire is too short
Drop shot variation. Makes sense to me.
Darrell Logan nah, an extended jika rig
This is actually crazy
Bom dia and the
الله ينور الله عليك
How does this work in a rocky or a semi Rocky rip rap?
What size hook?
a short drop shot with extra steps. and cost..
Oh! So you throw a drop shot into Lilly pads, wood, grass mats etc?
Прикольная штучка
Nah thanks
nice tokyo rig!
Could the fish get injured by shaking it's head with that lead flipping around underneath it?
Thom Wilson-Parry who cares ❄️ sliced its head off pull out it’s guts and fillet his ass.
@@GwenStefaniGuild haha you calling me a snowflake? Yeah who cares if you're eating it but where I come from there is a big influence on fish safety if the fish are being returned. Was just a question no need to jump to name calling mate.
Интересно придумано
Спасибо очень классно
Gut!
Most versatile rig ever? really? I can see how it is useful but It's just a drop shot variation.
Exactly
Next will be the New Improved Tokyo rig with tungsten wire so you feel the bottom better.

Jersey rig?
Jersey Shore?
Cool technique, looks like u can diy something like this and save a little money
X V paper clips, split rings, swivels
To buy these from TW or BPS is insane. Super easy to make. Bunch of how to vids on here too.
They’re 4 bucks.....huuuuuge savings Caroline
Why use 2 tungsten weights for the ticking noise? Just use a glass bead, wayy louder ticks
Just more crap=money to lose!!
Если руки не из жопы растут, то денег не потратишь.
You stole this technique from tackle advisors. Your not getting anything from me......
He got a comment from u
I’ll just save my money and keep drop shotting, pretty much the same thing

They’re 4 bucks.....you’re name is super fitting.
Looks Great! What is the name and Brand of the soft Plastic Lure?
Havoc devil spear
Jika rig.
Just saying
simonzelf NL?
I dunnoe why ppl are complaining about price so much i found some at sportsmans for 3 bucks and some change for a pack of 2. And ill admit im lazy to build my own. But 3-4 buck aint to bad. Im sure its it's cheaper than losing 7-25 dollar lures, only expensive part i see that can be kinda crappy are that the tungsten weights do cost alot depending on what brand you'd like to add to it. Then again you can go cheap and just use lead.🤷♂️
