Fishing the BEST Heavy Cover Technique (NEW) - The Tokyo Rig

Спорт

Fishing one of the very best Heavy Cover Techniques for Bass. The VMC Tokyo Rig can do much more than flip in heavy cover though. I hit the water for 2 hours with my good friend and Rapala Pro Staff Manager, Dan to help demonstrate and talk a little bit about what it can do and what we do different.

    Jacob, after watching your videos and seeing how your equipment performs I have switched all my Reels over to suffix line and couldn’t be more happy. I figured if the best bass angler in the world uses it it must be pretty good. I also just bought my first ducket rod as a present to my self for Xmas. Hope you and your fam have a good Christmas and New Years. Good luck on the up coming mlf season.

    Jacob, Can you do a comparo between the VMC Jig Rig and Tokyo Rig. I catch way more fish on the Jig Rig and my biggest fish this year all came on that rig. I expected the Tokyo to out fish it. That was not the case. Please explain in detail the lure release method of sending the rod down the line. It looks like it could be an expensive mistake yet you did it a couple of times.

  • @jeffreeder8274
    @jeffreeder82744 жыл бұрын

    I have watched alot of underwater video of the Tokyo rig and the reason it stays connected to the bottom so we'll is because the way the weight swings when it hits the bottom. When the weights hits a rock or anything it actually folds the weight up towards the bait then as it comes over the rock the weight then will swing back down to a 90° angle from the bait so the weight is actually swinging up when hit by cover and swinging back down after it comes over.
