So I’ve been using this bait since its release. The yamatanuki in all sizes absolutely slays. The cupped face and that tail give a crazy action that you won’t get elsewhere. Imo I believe the best place to fish this lure is rip rap rock because everytime the bait hits a rock the tail jiggles in the back driving the bass crazy I highly recommend getting these lures if you want a fun day of fishing

I rig the small yamatanuki on Zappu ringed piledriver 1/0 and have great success and hookup ratio.Decoy versatile keeper helps to set it on the perfect position Thanks for sharing.

I forgot where I heard it but using a 5/0 ewg hook is really helpful, i been crushing bass on the green pumpkin/amber tanuki going weedless/weightless. Thanks for the video!

I like using the mustad 91768 30degree jig hook in the 1/0 size with a large owner screwlock for the 2.5 size .the large owner screwlock helps hold the bait better with less tearouts plus the gap is big enough that when the hookslot gets worn out i just turn the bait halfway and rig straight thru . It positions hook as described in your video

Mountain Tanuki. I have a 2"-3" high Tanuki couple in my house, bringing us good luck. Great name for a lure.

Yeah. The tail looks like a Raccoon(Tanuki, 狸)'s tail.

@@AnglerWaki I noticed the tail. 😆

Thanks! That makes sense and shouldn’t negatively affect the action as the tail is still free to wiggle.. however,, with the hook eye buried in the bait and the line coming through the head it makes it easier for the line to cut through the head and lose the bait. Oh well, I’m not sure a bait would last more than a couple fish anyway.

@AnglerWaki

25 күн бұрын

Yes. That's what I had in the video! Could be an okay trade-off, though...

I love the Tanuki. Have had a lot of success with smallmouth in rivers, rigged with an owner ultra finess head. I wish they'd have made a 2.75" instead of the 2.5" though.

@AnglerWaki

I want 2". They introduced 4.25" instead...

I know in Japan it is harder to catch Bass. But in the US, we catch many and can not afford to lose one bait with every Bass. So with soft Yamamoto baits I use Owner 4/0 Twistlock hooks. Baits last much longer. Also on the Yamatanuki, I turn the hook one hundred eighty degrees and do not use the hook slots. The hook slots cause me more missed bass.

Yeah. It's true. More anglers than bass.

I would want to rig this bait the way I rig an Ika: come in through the top like usual, but skin-hook the point on the *outside of the body towards the back.

Hey do you have to go down a size with the hook if you rig it the way youre showing

@AnglerWaki

I don't think so.

Try using owner monster screw lock hook

@AnglerWaki

25 күн бұрын

I tried a screw keeper but figured out I love a standard EWG.

If you have a lake you regularly fish, i recommend getting a seriously bright headlamp and spend a couple nights doing some investigation. If you find a good apot for bass to push shad or other baitfish up shallow where they can't escape to deep water easily, you're going to find some pigs coming in on the darkest nights, guaranteed. The light will help you find the baitfish and hopefully spot some bass.

I like using a screw lock style hook, go through less baits.

I use a razor blade ! And cut the slit with hook point deeper ! Especially ahead of the hook point ! Bait folds easy ! Good hookups ! Peace buddy!!😮😮

After rigging it superglue the front of the bait, they tear up less

Is this good for spotties?

1/0 or 2/0.

10lbs line and that hook size does not worry you? Let's say a fish over 4lbs.

@AnglerWaki

I got your point. I'm confident I can catch over 5lbs with that setup here. Since I know the spot well and there aren't many covers in the water.
