Ott’s Garage | How To Tokyo Rig

[@garywest2250]

does anyone else feel spoiled with all of the awesome JUICE that Otter and others, post on youtube? I can remember 15 years ago, struggling with envisioning each and every new fishing concept that I had just read in In-Fisherman Magazine. Now, I can just go to youtube and watch private masterclass tutorials on EVERYTHING, take and apply what I learned. The only requirement from me is a continued love for fishing and an internet connection. Thanks, Ott!

Very well said

[@PaBasser]

Love your videos Ott. Been a big fan since your FLW days. We met back in February 2016, at the outdoor show in Harrisburg. You gave us the tip to fish the Holston River instead of a lake in July. I found a guide and we/I had our best outing ever

[@bigredbass7898]

Thanks Ott. This might be the best Tokyo rig video ive seen yet and i watch tons of videos. One of the best guys out there. God bless.

[@clintwilliams3096]

[@ericfoster6263]

Mr Defoe You are the man. I cant thank you enough for all the information you bring to the table. I hope the good Lord continues to bless you, and wish you the best of luck in the future. Fish on my brother. God bless Eric

[@mikebailey2119]

Thank you Ott for the very good information for using a tokyo rig. May God bless you at the General tire Heavy Hitters tournament. 🙏🎣🐟

[@davidgonnerman2902]

[@WildBillHabiki]

Wow the swimbait rig really has me intrigued. Looks like a 4" Scottsboro. Thanks Ott

[@clarynick]

[@malcolmzoll7613]

Great video Ott’s

[@EA.71]

I've wanted to try a Tokyo rig for a couple yrs. I probably will now. I've been trying to be still and quiet and I want to thank you. I hope you win Heavy Hitters

[@raymondpadilla65]

awesome video and you won heavy hitters at the end with that swimbait rig☝🏽🙏🏽❤️ God bless you and your family brother

[@chriscurtis8577]

Yes I heard of it before Tokyo rig I built myself one of those Bob what I had for it came out how I wanted

[@drewbou985]

Such a good lure

[@roadtoproco-anglerwithrobd978]

Ott congrats on your heavy hitters win watched at work while rebuilding an engine lol. Start using Tokyo rig last tournament had no luck with it but it's a learning curve, keep up the videos I got to do some editing on last video for my channel trying to get to your status both youtube and fishing or at least tackle warehouse pro side just a Co right now doing three Toyota series struggling too make it happen but putting my faith in the lord either way I enjoy the challenge

[@davidtreichler8036]

Great video Ott thank you!

[@Hammersmithblues]

I enjoyed the presentation and your breakdown of scenarios and situations. Very informative, thanks!

[@basstobasscookingbrentbabi5411]

Thank you soooo muchhhh! Going to Lake Chickamauga for the 1st time so I will definitely try some of these techniques 👍🏼🎣

[@johnmarino8620]

Always useful information...and it works!

[@farrzmd3038]

Great video. I picked up the Tokyo rig a couple months ago. It’s leafy, mud bottom where I fish. This rig allows me to slow down a little bit more than a Texas rig and use smaller hops.

[@btmbass8558]

I watched one of your videos last year with the Tokyo swimbait for bed fishing. Never thought of it and put it to work right away. Also the double bullet weight idea is brilliant

[@rodcashman4793]

That's crazy I've been thinking about doing this. Great break down. Thanks 😊

[@johnbutler307]

Thanks for another video

[@eddieboswell6068]

Great video, I have some of these and I am excited to use them. Good luck and may God Bless you and your family!

[@BluntTruth7]

Fantastic video, can you explain the rod, reel, and line setup for this technique. Again, thanks for all your great instructional videos and congrats on your latest win. Hope to see more of these.

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Been using the Tokyo the last couple years. Make them myself & having great success. Mostly use the Baby brush hog but the swimbait is a good choice too. Thought about using it by never did yet. Go get the "Big One" on Thursday. I'll be watching you!!!!👀 Stay Safe & God Bless!!

[@billnelson1214]

Great stuff thanks for sharing

[@MoMan.88]

Love the Tokyo rig!!

[@WayneThrockmorton]

That was GREAT

[@tdeeb6359]

Thanks a lot, Ott!

[@Glock-1]

I love VMC hooks! They have one for everything

[@billsutorius2753]

Nice tips 👍 thanks

[@christophercurtis2550]

I made my own Tokyo rig and it looks pretty awesome

[@wglennhowells]

This was very helpful, thank you sir!

[@garyhanna2388]

Great stuff sir should I use it in spavinaw creek on Hudson lol

[@joenoel3871]

thank you my brother

[@dann.294]

Tokyo rig is awesome, my go to. I feel like it’s better than a Texas rig. Better hook up percentage, keeps bait out of the mud, saves line from contacting a rough/ rocky bottom that frays line.

[@timtweet8149]

Great video! Love your, "how to's". Can you do a video on your different tackle box set ups?

[@greghiday]

Thanks Ott, great video. Good luck at the Heavy Hitters championship. Are you going to go over to Lake Athens on your day off? God Bless.

[@tommyhyde5842]

Maybe I missed it in video but could you tell us what rod and line are you using with this technique? Thanks Ott for all you do and god bless you

[@willtrax71]

If you are Fishing from the River Bank and mainly dragging through Rocks can you flip the Bullet weight around point facing up to prevent it from getting hung up as much.? I’ve never tried the “Tokyo Rig” but it looks effective.

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

It truly wouldn’t help much I don’t think. They make some weights that are more football shaped and I would think this would be the best to keep from getting in the rock cracks as much.

[@willtrax71]

@@OttDeFoeFishing great Intel my friend thank you.

[@pitdawg6418]

Some underwater video would be Awesome

[@ronniemurphy483]

Ott what do you use to keep the weight on the shaft

[@N2theBlue1]

Bend the tip of the wire with pliers

[@206_FISHING]

What action rod u using for this?

[@OttDeFoeFishing]

I like a medium heavy.

[@206_FISHING]

@@OttDeFoeFishing that's what I got it setup on just was curious if I pick the right one I appreciate your reply

[@funkymojo111]

The guys I know here southern California use it to punch cattails. It is an effective rig when fished from a watercraft. It will still get snagged fishing It from the bank. Has to do with the angle one has pulling the bait to shore while standing above it on the water.

[@chriswarren251]

And 100,000 dollars later 👀😂

[@lucaslogg1024]

I don’t like Tokyo rig. Grass get tangled up all the time in the wires and on the weight. And fish are not blind, to much metal junk that detract fish from biting it.
