My favorite channel! I love watching Glenn and his wife catch fish. Guys laugh when I break out the Tokyo rig. I use it for my drop shot weight rigged with a Beaver bug on a 4/0 offset hook in really deep water and have caught bass at over 80ft. My drop shot bait is a trick worm in black/red or old purple. They usually hit the Tokyo bait and not the drop shot. It goes right through shallow cover and punches great. Sometimes just dragging it along the bottom works awesome, it bounces up and down all by itself. If you toss it out and let it sit on the bottom and just twitch your rod the bait jumps up and down off the bottom and moves around in all directions and one spot, works like nothing else. Lousy for rocks though. Hangs up every time.

That’s a good tip as well, KAONANAONA. Thanks for sharing.

Solid video Glenn. I'm hoping this rig breaks my skunk streak tonight.

[@bassresource]

Glad to help, @FirstClassPirate. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.

[@FirstClassPirate]

@@bassresource Ok so this is my new favorite rig. Caught em the last couple times I've been out!

[@Floyd-e4s]

What about a tube? Have you ever use a piece of stifroam to make tube float up of bottom? Also put piece of alkasiler in the tube make bubbles come out of the tube. Question do think if you squirt a drop of liquid foam in a tube would the tube float

[@ivanradi4275]

Good video Glenn, I used a lot since here in Miami the floor is really muddy and sometimes I feel the bait get berried into with jigs and Texas rigs. Additional to your ways I found dragging through the bottom is also effective but one thing that I do is a small bent at the end of the wire, like a T, not a loop that you showed and that avoids a lot of hangs up and you won't loose the weight.

[@Figripley]

Agreed. Even a 45 degree bend is good enough. No need for the loop.

Great Information there Glenn. The Technics are Very Much Appreciated in your Videos. Keep On Catchin. 👍👍

[@bassresource]

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback Rodney Green!

[@dann.294]

I have great luck with it, a little different look for fish that get fished a lot. Great hook up percentage also, and the wire for wieght takes any abuse from bottom rather than line.

[@bassresource]

You got that right! Thanks for watching, @dann.294!

[@PiperFishing]

I've used the Tokyo rig in place of a wobble head at my lake. We have a thin layer of green slime on the bottom under 15ft when it's warm, and that will gunk up a wobble head real quick. The Tokyo rig keeps that bait a couple inch's off the bottom and out of the slime.

[@jorgesfishingadventure]

Nice bass my friend and beautiful spot 👍

[@bassresource]

Thanks 👍

[@trickytrav88]

I use it the same as you and I actually use it for punching cover alot. Thanks Glen appreciate the content. God Bless and cant wait for more

[@bassresource]

Travis Bruno, glad I could help. Looking forward to hearing much more from you.

[@unicornsteaks6769]

How would it come through heavy wood cover, like a laydown?

[@funkymojo111]

I have thrown a couple times at the local lake and down at the river here in SoCal, and it hasn't produced anything for me. I am going to order some plastic craws in red to see if that makes a difference.

[@trickytrav88]

Perfect i just got the same ones VMC 2/0 tokyo rigs

[@trickytrav88]

Bought 4/0 first but the hooks are pretty darn big so then i got some 2/0 just in case.

[@KevinSmith-dx2nf]

Try the Zoom Lil' Critter Craw in Blue/Black, Red/Black, and Watermelon Seed on the 2/0.

[@trickytrav88]

@@KevinSmith-dx2nf watermelon seed is definitely one of my favorite colors and i tip it with chartreuse most of the time

[@trickytrav88]

No One ever makes content about the sunglasses they prefer in different types of water on a boat, bank etc. Could you make a quick vid about that. If not any recommendations for kayak and bank fishing??

[@bassresource]

We made a video about that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIq9f56nnaqYgbM

@@bassresource i Awesome i just peaked i wasn't a KZbin watcher 2 years ago so i definitely missed it..lol watching it now thank you.

[@toddlester8063]

I think the Free Rig is the best if the obscure rigs you've covered lately. They all have their place for sure, but man that free rig is good. That swim bait idea is great, ill def try that!

[@bassresource]

Glad to help, Todd Lester. Let me know how it works out as I would love to see the results.

[@MoMan.88]

I just got some of these, haven’t had a chance to use them yet though

[@unicornsteaks6769]

The Tokyo rig is just a collection of hardware. I made my own using a big paperclip for the weight. Then it went to the bottom of the box and has never been used.

[@edgarmelton8091]

I like too add a glass bead above my tungsten weight with this rig no more fraying your line with broken glass from your glass bead beating against tungsten clack clack your under attack with a d bomb

[@touchang208]

Grabbing your rod like that is cringy. Had many expensive rod break like that. Nothing wrong with using a net.
