Fair enough re TOKYO-RIG. But personally I can't see any advantages of it compared to my variation of DROPSHOT-RIG (as here th-cam.com/video/7E52m9ScgAA/w-d-xo.html ). Probably TOKYO-RIG has one advantage though, it's more "cruel"/positive, so, more selective. I may try it one day, when I will have spare time 👍 Thanks
It's a very versatile rig and it is no cruller than any other rig i regard treble hooks as brutal treble hooks should be banned in my opinion i have replaced all my treble hooks with single hooks as for the Tokyo RIG it's very very effective rig we all have are own opinions i guess but for me it's more effective than the jika rig ALIEN
I used quotes for "cruel". By that I meant like more barbarian/less delicate/less refined. Don't really know what else words I could use to be more clear. I didn't mean that TOKYO-RIG will damage the fish more in any way. For example if you would fish commercial lake full of carp and would use rig with like 0.06 mm. hooklink with 24 nr. hook with a single joker on it you would get less bites from carp than, if you would be using 0.30 mm. hooklink with 10 mm. pellet on... I meant that kind of thing. So, TOKYO-RIG in my eyes does the same thing as that heavy carp rig.👍 Cheers
"Hello everyone Andrew's not here" had a good laugh Jokes aside thanks for those tutorials. In my head this should perhaps give a better action than a normal jig since the lure moves more freely

Exactly.
I take it these are now replaced with a simple jighead hook
Cool.
😁😁
Is there a point?
