Master the Yamamoto Fat Ika with Japanese-Style Bass Fishing Technique
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2021
- Gary Yamamoto Fat Ika. One of the best bass fishing lures produced by Gary Yamamoto. Fat Ika has huge followers in Japan.
In Japan, the most popular setup for Fat Ika is “Reverse Rigging”. We call it a “Backslide setting” (バックスライドセッティング). With this rigging, Fat Ika can have back-slide falling. This is great for cover fishing as well as bottom fishing.
I hope you all enjoy this video.

A lady from one of my favorite tackle shops was showing me the fat ika and how she likes to fish with it. So I bought it but didn’t know much about it until now. So thank you I will be trying it.
good luck!
Love your drawings!! Good Job!
Thank you 👍👍👍
Amazing,i love how you doing the rigging and given very clear instruction .good job my friend L35

Whoa. Those are sweet big bass. 👏🏼 Its cool that Fat Ika is so big a lure that it can be weightless rigged. Awesome demonstration video edit and drawing too, Waki 😀✨❗️
Thank you for watching, my friend! Ika is a great lure 👍
Good stuff waki!

Thank you from San Diego Creek Fisherman!
👍
Amazing! Your not only an awesome fishier man! Also you are an excellent artist. Great job my friend explaining everything.👍
Hahaha. Thank you so much 👍
Great video. I'm the only guy I know who fishes this bait, or admits it haha. But I was having trouble missing fish in this bait. I'm going to try cutting the bait as you showed. Thanks!!
Fat ika 4” ♥️ 💣
Very compliment from italy!
Grazie 👍
Skipping Ika's under docks or letting it backslide into cover has been my number one go to bait for tournament fishing for years now.
Great job on the video! However I don't want any of my competition to see this video 😆
Good luck!! Thank you for watching. 😆
Great video! New subscriber here. I had a fellow angler give me a Fat Ika to try. Looks like a very interesting technique. He rigged it backwards just like you do. Looking forward to giving it a try here at our Utah bass lakes. Thanks for the tips.
👍
Hi Waki san !! ... the exact same thing happened to me !! For years I have always thought that the senko was unrivaled .. I had a bag of fat ika in a drawer for years, never used .. one day a friend of mine who was competing in bass fishing saw it .. he lit up like a Christmas tree and yelled at me "what !!! You have fat ika and you don't use them !!! You're a fool !!" .. at the time in Italy they were nowhere to be found .. So start using them .. Since then I have not stopped .. I have never seen the trick of cutting them to give the hook better setting, thanks I will try it as soon as I go fishing .. As always, small details make the big difference!! CIAO e GRAZIE!!
Senko is still great. Could be the greatest. But Fat Ika and other Gary Yamamoto baits are also awesome! 👍
Nice!
I use this bait more than any other in my tackle box. Earlier this year I started rigging it “backwards” and have seen my catch numbers increase.
Nice!
Same here. Especially at dusk, and at night. Just having trouble getting good hooksets!!
🙈🙉🙊🙊🙊🤫🤫🤫
My favorite plastic to use. I have so much confidence in this bait
Yup. This is a great lure! Thank you for the comment! 👍
@@AnglerWaki I just wish they would expand the colors here in the US
Yeah. We have many colors in Japan.. But it's around $20/bag there. OMG..
@@AnglerWaki ya I’ve seen the colors available there and the price 😮. We used to have more colors here but they discontinued them 🤷🏻♂️
Good looking bait right there
Yup! It's a great lure 👍
Great Video
Thanks!
Good video friend 👏👏👏
Thank you very much! 👍👍
Recently came across your channel and subscribed. I really enjoy your “to the point,” detailed approach. I also live in California. What are some of your favorite fishing spots? I’m looking for some new lakes to fish.
I just started fishing and wondering if you found any good spots. I’m in SoCal too. The best one I’ve come across is Lake Perris
Wow, great guide! I'll try this technique tomorrow! I've only ever used the fat ika and salty core tube on a Carolina rig, the scales have fallen from my eyes! Also enjoyed the skip casting, I practice this every time I'm on the water and have tried to study T. Namiki and follow his advice but it's difficult.
Good luck! Fat Ika can be the best lure for the skipping practice. 👍
@@AnglerWaki I managed to get two bass and one channel catfish and missed two more in an hour of fishing laydowns on a 286 fat ika on a 5/0 hook. Very pleased, thanks again!
great 👍
Thank you 👍
みんな大好きFat Ika！Ika同様な使い方で只今日本ではデプスさんのカバースキャットが流行ってますよ👍
流行ってるみたいですね〜。いま発注しているので、この夏、試してみたいと思います。
Ty japanese style fishing, arigato
👍👍👍
Waki I love the videos and I learn so much! Do you like baby Ika or normal size ika? I can’t find baby ika in the US
Baby and Tiny are JDM.
Awesome video, Waki! Would you say the Keitech saltcore tube is comparable to the Gary Yamamoto Fat Ika?
yes. it's a great alternative and some anglers say it's better than Ika. I like both.
@@AnglerWaki I've never seen the Fat Ika in any shop, is it a Japanese exclusive?
You can find it in the U.S. Even Walmart has it.
Hello Waki.....Kureha SEAGUAR R18 FLUORO LTD ? or kureha seaguard Fluorocarbon R18 Bass ? thanks
I used this bait a lot, but stopped for some reason. I need to use it again as it always worked good. I skip it under docks and trees.
Big tip is use an Owner 4/0 Twistloc hook. The bait last so much longer. You can use a weighted hook too if fishing deeper, but I use weightless.
Hello friend...yours is a great channel...Congratulations. Can you tell me what model of 16 lb Seaguard fishing line you use? seaguard FluoroMeister ?thank you
it's Seaguar R18 FLUORO. 👍
@@AnglerWaki Thanks 👍🙌🙌
@@AnglerWaki Hello Waki.....Kureha SEAGUAR R18 FLUORO LTD ? or kureha seaguard Fluorocarbon R18 Bass ? thanks
Will this work in the jetty or heavy eel grass areas?
Why don't you try?😉
@@AnglerWaki Will do👍 thanks.
Get the green with red flake!
👍
@@AnglerWaki dude, you did a great job covering the versatility of this lure
It’s been awesome for spawn, post spawn fish for me
I’m actually heading out now to fish it
Nice video!
@@DiamondHead2010 Good luck! 👍
