Coffee stirrers, the ones at convenience store coffee stations. I use them as hook protectors too. Cheap 1000 box on Amazon, red/black $7.

[@Yesaul19]

Brilliant thanks!

[@FiciousCritik]

​@@Yesaul19 To use as hook protectors, I 'poke' the hook into the _SIDE_ of stirrer and very close to the end. I do not 'insert' the hook into the _END OPENING_ of the stirrer ... cuz it will just slip off the hook.

[@bobbymason3420]

Looked at a bunch of these when first came out rigged a few up and tried them in the water. If you go straight into worm instead at roughly thirty degree angle you get a bit more resistance. This preveyline from moving easily in and out of the worm which makes action grab a bit. I found that if you do go straight only on the last twist it does matter as that’s just the end that pulls up. Hook placement can be a pistol but alignment with the eye of the hook with on of the entry holes creates less drag and let’s action go well. I found that where it seemed to look the best was actin horizontal presentation. Vertical presentation a wacky rig is close enough to what this does. It does look sexy dragging and very small pop up and horizontal twitches. Very small twitching conveys a lot of action to the worm so it’s a case of not overworking the worm. It’s a very visual presentation so seems that water visibility may matter? Thanks for the video Randy. This is a new technique here so the more peeps that play with it and work it the better. With you being so good at shallow water fishing I would think you would catch off it and find what works best.

[@charlesgrahammacleodstuart510]

I made a few prototypes with flexible tubing, and the worm holds it in place well. It does not affect the flexibility of the worm, in fact I think it enhances it. Senkos are perfect for this rig as are the Zoom products mentioned. I found that using a barbecue skewer to puncture the worm in all three places at once, ensured they were aligned. I also added a second hook in place if the split ring and caught a bunch of “tail nippers”…. It’s a fish magnet and I totally agree with you. Next year this rig could easily become a winner!

[@barrelbum1016]

I saw this rig weeks back and man o man. I’m glad your doing a video on it.

[@bradsillasen1972]

Such a simple explanation. Great job, thx.

[@mikegardiner3934]

really cool Randy. Yep , I saw Stefan do this last i think. Can’t wait to try. Can you say dock fishing?? no no no…bed fishing! lol

[@snaxx117]

Ps thank you for all your videos and everything you do your the reason I catch bass at all! So thank you very much!!

[@1965JB]

One day there was one video about this rig. Within a week it seemed like every other KZbin video was about it. It’s like Invasion Of The Body Snatchers for bass fishing.

[@zhb485]

Randy, if you have fished with this rig some, I would love to hear about hookup percentage vs. a wacky rig. I couldn’t imagine it is very good, jamming the whole worm up toward the hook before the hook set.

[@CarolinaThump]

Randy, there are a few takeaways I have here: 1) I really dont like whacky rigs 2) I would fish this over a whacky rig any day of the week 3) I need to get some 1/4” od rigid tubing STAT 4) Your megabass hat is freaking awesome 5) thank you for droping the skinny on us, I appreciate the time you commit to your channel while also doing so much in and out of fishing

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Thx man

[@gustavomaciel8340]

Randy good video. You are a straight up Pro Angler.

[@robertbeecher5005]

I’ve been watching these videos on the Inurig for the last few weeks. I kept wondering what Randy thought about it, now I know. Thanks!

[@marctheriault]

I’ve been waiting for a chance to try this technique out. As far as folks thinking it’s not worth the effort, my plan is to set up the tubes on a number of worms ahead of time. Then if I want to tie one on it won’t take much more time than any other decent worm rig. Thanks for the simplified take on the technique.

[@hunterjarnigan7220]

Yea definitely if someone wants to use this it would be best to have several pre rigged

[@gpharned]

Instead of tubing you can also use a cocktail straw.

[@ronfussell8244]

I had a guy came into my store about 2018,I was pouring lead,he pulled out about 10 red nozzles, like on wd 40,he folded the worm,shoved it through all three folds,heated his razor blade,cut through the tube,he did the hook on the bottom, fed through the plastic, sticking out of the tale,It worked, but if I got hung I didn't re tie one,back to the O ring sinko,great looking bait.

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

Thanks for the video was really wondering what these things were!

[@maxcole3930]

It's crazy how many vids on this rig have came out sense the original. I had gotten original in my feed week before last I believe. Maybe last week, can't remember exactly. Anyways I rigged one up with a zman worm so it would float & put a neko weight in it so stands up off bottom. Works pretty good

[@rhansen435]

What a coincidence Randy.I just looked at a video about it today!

[@alanfrye2706]

I saw a Japanese video on this and wondered about it but it had no subtitles so I gave up. Thanks for explaining what it is

[@timevans6815]

You went in the worm straight with your tubing most other vids on this rig show 30 degree angle on the tubing

[@shamis01]

That's crazy, no knot on the hook. Thank you Randy.

[@Abutado]

I have covid right now and feel so crappy but I think I need to get out on the boat and isolate my self with some fishing. I want to try this so bad.

[@bobbymason3420]

Oh and you can use coffee stirring straws to poke into worm no need hardware store and they have good small diameter so worm doesn’t have to be as fat.

[@BluntTruth7]

When you insert the tubing at the top and midsection it should be almost at a 30-degree angle, not straight through, so it does put too much pressure on the line when doing the accordion effect.

[@MadMaxx89]

You have your hook facing the opposite way as all the other bids I have seen. Most all have it hooked with the Shank against the Worm and the eye directly in line and in front of the first piece of tubing with the hook point out and exposed. The way you had it it was not at all in line and the eye was very far away from the tubing. That will 100 percent affect the action cause the hook is going to be bouncing and moving to much thats why it popped of your Worm the first couple times you moved it after it was rigged. I would like to see an in the water comparison with the hook mounted both ways. Just my 2 cents great video randy.

[@MadMaxx89]

Watch Matt Stefans vid again. You can see it right in the thumbnail his is the opposite way of yours as are the other vids I've seen on the rig.

[@MadMaxx89]

@@XxNiteStockerxX literally every Japanese video on this technique have it the other way. Regardless of what " a while" is I doubt he has spent more than one season fishing this. Like I said this is just my 2 cents and I love randy and his vids, he has some serious knowledge. But in this case I'll go with the guys who came up with this iteration of this bait. I mean you really can't argue when you look at Randy's thumbnail and Matt Stefans next to each other, one way just looks wrong.

[@limegreenfishingmachine3332]

Randy you should try maybe the pro sport fisher micro or nano tunes for tube fly tying may the rig not sure getting to cold in the NE

[@t.a.4702]

thats so funny, i started saving my sv 3 spinnerbait hook covers just to try this..!

[@michaeldavis8724]

It only works like shown if you are holding it in your hand. In water there is no resistance, so the action is not as pronounced.

[@LilTommy.]

Caught a fish this weekend second or third cast it last one bass before the tubing ripped out

[@clintperry799]

Super cool, tells us more secrets. : )

[@scottperkins4790]

In this setup, the only way to accomplish a hook set is for the hook to bottom out on the tubing and split ring since there is no knot on the hook itself. Seems very likely that it's going to destroy the tubing and the worm itself every time you land a fish. Being that this isn't the easiest lure to rig, I'd call it a waste of time in the big picture.

[@jaredrrrr5074]

Been fishing this rig for little while now but use a home-modified weedless #4 ewg treble hook Still prefer simple senko or wacky

[@panthro9831]

And call the Neko rig the cat rig. Not ni-ko lol

[@uneathharrison]

Since you been fishing it for awhile can you talk about how to set hook. Do you just pull up or lay into it. Looks like a lot of soft plastic can bunch up around hook causing it to Tex pose itself loosing fish. Is this something that you have experienced? Have you tried a nail weight in the head yet? Could be a cool looking neko rig action. Saw this rig about a month ago. Been wanting to fish it. Thank you for all the info you share.👊

[@robkent4223]

Have tried using second hook instead of snap ring?

[@ricksonora6656]

Rings are larger than hook heads, which adds to durability of the worm. You might attach the hook to the ring. Some people put hooks at both ends.

[@tegteg798]

Ready to try it on a floating worm

[@gregmona8759]

In regard to the poor hookup ratio with this bait, one suggestion I heard was to put a trailer hook on the split ring at the other end for short strikes. Sounded clever to me, but I wondered if anybody has tried that yet, and if so, what kind of success did you have?

[@diepmaster3458]

Only use the trailer hook is the solution

[@ricksonora6656]

I’m wondering, why not skip the top hook and just use the trailer hook.

[@monroebass4606]

What about adding some weight for the deeper fish, where do you attach it or do you just use a sliding weight?

[@CA-sl2xw]

Neko rig weight in the tail end.

[@garyogrady8304]

I'm not gonna try it, BUT, it seems there are countless ways to fish worms rigged many different styles. this seems to be a pain in the ass, right next to having to constantly rerig the dropshot rig . anyone who fishes arizona lakes knows what I mean constantly getting your weight snagged on some sharp jagged rocks

[@williamlaws2353]

Shouldn’t hook go on line first ???

[@Something-Somes]

@Randy Put a rattle insert in the tail ;)

[@billlorenz6623]

I think it could be pretty effective but I also think it could be a royal pain to rig up.

[@shawnhammack5302]

If you want a weight would you put it at the split ring or at the hook?

[@ricksonora6656]

I’d try both. You could add another ring at the head and Texas rig it for bottom action. Or you could drop shot it with a floating worm to keep it just off the bottom.

[@blake3037]

The Inu rig was probably created by the Gamakatsu folks to cash in on replacement hook sales haha. Looks great in the water tho

[@Raven09s]

Fished it for 3 hours last weekend with nothing. Switched to a standard wacky rig and caught 2 in 10 minutes.

[@bcraner6082]

Randy, do you have any good resources to study other Japanese tactics like this? I have recently been spending a lot of time looking into Japanese bass fishing but have been struggling to find any good resources. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@mamo9389]

Learn Japanese 😉

[@guyb5333]

RANDY, I'm curious, it appears that during a hook set the line would have to be pulled tight to coil the whole worm to seat the hook against the split ring before you actually got a hook set. Can a good hookset really be achieved? Would that destroy the worm? If a hook would be added to the split ring I wonder if that would lead to more fish being gut hooked?

My honest opinion is no deal. Worm fishing is effective as is. It's also a very slow presentation, why makd it slower using this? Why do you have tp make the worm contract back and forth. Waste of time and engery? Fun? Yes. Effective? No. Fishjng, especially tournament fishing is all about covering water. This is more of a desperation rig or a leisure rig.
