There have been a lot of lures that Japanese fisherman have created over the years. This may be one of the most interesting rigging techniques that we have seen for a while.
Whether you are a season vet bass fisherman or a beginner, I think you will be able to catch bass on the INURIG.
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

Well Done so appreciated the correct angle and coffee straw!

[@markhamblin1112]

Good video....but Japan didn't event that...my uncle had a very very similar rig except he used a piece of 1/4 copper to weight it..25 years ago....this isn't new

[@ShelbysGT]

Man Arnold going to sue you! Lmao just kidding sick video man!!

[@joshboyd8322]

Who cares about the rig my life is complete hearing Arnold say Whoppa Ploppa

[@pepepepito623]

Ridding the wave'' + laziness =a dislike/do not recommend this channel.follows

[@JohnSmith-gk8ts]

Me and one of my high-school buddies did something very similar to this using the old gas station coffee straws and three bracelet beads. We were quite successful getting strike when the bass were finicky. Anyways, we took our lure and showed it to the owner of our local bait and fishing shop. He just laughed at us. No sale was ever made from our wiggle worm idea. 27 years ago. 😆

[@1989JARR]

If he's alive still bet he's eating crow now 🤣

[@OleHickory69]

No one cares

[@Unit_With_Legs]

The creme worm rig for me about 30 years ago. You could hook it so the worm was wave shaped with 2 hooks. It would make it spiral giving a sort of barber shop pole illusion to wiggling. Tied it to a swivel. Very similar concept. Did have some 20 bass days on it. Had a group of people at a heavily pressured forest preserve following me around asking what i was using 😂

[@joeturner1195]

Great job on explaining and showing how to set this up seen 3 videos and yours has been the best

[@djcartwright424]

Thanks for the very detailed, well explained interpretation of the original inurig method video.

[@terryclayson6592]

Awesome video Tyler! Can't wait to try it out!

[@Blackbird0216]

when i 1st saw this rig i thought it wld be a pain to rig but once u broke it down i understood exactly how it works. i watched other videos but they wld leave steps out so thanks for the breakdown

[@PeterCPRail8748]

Great new rigging trick thanks for the vid. I will be making these for future outings.

[@FK-gt4fp]

Solid stuff saw a previous video on how to rig it but you go into much more detail 👍

[@buddymcclure6170]

Sweet! I'll be trying this one out! Thanks for sharing.

[@kenmelnrick9968]

Best tubing to use is the tube from an empty WD-40 spray can, These crazy things work wonders!

[@pauleyplay]

That is a great tip Coffee stirers too big. 16ga wire housing works just OK no not great ! What else is there ? You did say empty can Woops !!!!!

[@joshuaphillips3102]

I just used the same thing

[@crazylegs5106]

I was going to steal the grandkid's juice box straw.

[@corneldadboudria5712]

Very good demonstration. I just read how to rig it in Bassmaster but couldn't follow it. Your video cleared that up. Thank you.

[@codyholsinger3915]

When I started seeing this rig in youtube videos I knew it was only a matter of time before my man Tyler covered it

[@shawnmoorshead9135]

Great instruction video. Keep up the great work.

[@FullTimeFishing]

Sweet concept. But I can’t see it being a viable option because of the set up time. Maybe some company will start coming out with the worms already set up. Then googan will copy it 😂. Kidding of course. Great video!

[@BassFishingHQ]

Definitely a longer set up but after I did it a few times it was a lot quicker than doing a demonstration. You could probably set up 5 in about 10 minutes. But is it worth it…still have to figure that out

[@pain_weaver]

@@BassFishingHQ just like anything practice makes perfect. A quick idea for on the water rigging. Have several straw sections pre cut at an angle and you can individually pierce each section. Just dab glue on when its nearly seated on the flat end. Once you do that you can push it the rest of the short distance and cut the angled end piece. Rinse repeat and then thread your line tie off on the ring and presto. (Of course have your hook already on the line or you just wasted too much time lol)

[@mynamejeff2006]

You can always prep a bunch of worms ahead. thats the time consuming part. i think rigging it with prepared worms wouldnt take much longer than anythinf else.

[@danielhall3595]

First of all you could pre-rig a bunch before you get out on the water so you’re ready to go. Second of all I saw a icast 2021 video with this rig in it. It appears you can or will soon be able to purchase this pre-rigged. However you might not be able to choose your own worm or hook. Therefore experimenting, finding what plastic and hook combo you like, and making them at home seems like a viable option to me personally. Just my two cents.

[@TonyMontana-pc1uf]

Lawless lures has something like that called booby trap.

[@philipmartinez8206]

Cool I will be trying this next time I go fishing thank you. You made it look easy

[@michaeldodge3248]

I watch a lot of content creators on here and my top two are you and Milliken fishing. It would be awesome if you two could collaborate, because unlike a lot of guys not only do you put out content, you also explain why you're doing what you're doing and how to do it properly.

[@billsherk9198]

I saw the original video yesterday and I tried it today. It worked😊

[@sharkillsbear]

Great setup walkthrough. Thanks for posting. I'm wondering if adding one of those VMC Crossover rings for the hook would be a good idea. They help go through less plastics and jf you're spending the extra time to construct this thing any extra uses you can get would be nice.

[@user-np5ql8pg4h]

I'm a fisherman in Japan, but never seen INU Rig berfore. Great action! Thank you for sharing.

[@jmag1962]

Excelente vídeo. Estás de parabéns pela demonstração. Simples, fácil, prático, tudo muito bem explicado. Parabéns. Valeu!

[@hjs112]

Wow! Great video. Thanks

[@georgefisher1719]

Hi from Australia Great video explained perfectly i cant wait to use this on our aussie bass...subscribed...

[@75dobs]

Dude, I wasn't prepared for that Arnold segment, straight fire!

[@douglasproductions9501]

This is awesome. I don't see my self doing it any time soon to be realistic but I'll keep it in my back pocket.

[@Abutado]

I can't wait to try this

[@michaelvincent8306]

Great video going to try this out looks great 👍

[@skipdockside]

I saw an early video of this and was like "No way, no one will have heard about this, i'll be able to use this all spring... Then one video.. and two videos.. and five videos... This community is never slackin, ya gotta love it. Great video, man.

[@BassFishingHQ]

Thanks man!

[@moua_bassin9509]

Hahaha…seriously. Thought the same too. Looks like a killer rig for spawning season.

[@CA-sl2xw]

Same…lol

[@pauleyplay]

Thought the same. No secrets anymore. From i see We may have been caught, Yesterday every sunfish in the river got a message. Come see this, I gave up !

[@jw-zl3zp]

Awesome job need to try this.

[@mooseknuckle8334]

What a great way to utilize a worm. I will be using this idea this coming season.

[@6BoogyDown9]

Thank you for sharing.

[@Tbowie13]

Pretty Awesome! I'm gonna give it a whirl! This may be the bomb for bed fishing to be able to wiggle a worm on the bed. I know alot of guys are against it, but if your fishing that time of year your bed fishing, so many of them make their beds deeper, especially spot, you just don't realize they're bedfish.

[@savagemadman7047]

Best video of it I've seen

[@S.R.Backwoods1]

I can see why that would be productive. Great video!

[@sinelocum]

That looks fun!

Great Call on the Straw Angle (all about the details)... Arnold Sold Me on the Sportsmans Site.. Clever ADD... Fish-On !! MG

[@raymonblodgett4537]

I spent time in Japan and other Asia counties and learned this some time ago there. Also have seen and noticed the other videos popping up over the last week. Then yours popped up on my feed and yes you are rigging it pretty much the way I learned. I make a lot of them at once, so you have them ready to just tie on. A variation I do to some is instead of the ring eyelet at the end I use a hook and put it in weed less at the tail end for short strikes, so what I have is a hook tied at the of the line and a sliding hook for the top. Is this the new great rig? I don't know but I do have fun playing with new ideas. Nice video and I think the stir straws are a good idea.

[@huckleberry490]

I like your hook at the end and how bout a straw off a can of wd40 and just the one hook on the end

[@ericpettyfishing]

@@huckleberry490 Coffee stirrers are free at gas stations

[@XploreAz]

@@huckleberry490 you're only going to get one rig out of that straw. You must a lot of WD40.

[@anselmorudgeri5982]

Great video brother...here in Brazil I use the inner tube of the bic pen and it works well

[@savagemadman7047]

Thanks for doing this I just asked about this in your video comments from Tuesday

[@BassFishingHQ]

Had a handful of comments and messages about it so I knew I needed to get one out

[@jesseallerdings7050]

Yup, I'm gonna try this rig very soon. I live and work by a bass lake that is kinda small(just a little over 100 acres) and gets some heavy pressure and the bigger fish get harder to catch because they have tasted just about every lure and bait. I did get a nice 4 pound largemouth after work today, first nice fish of the season for me.

[@michl4800]

Good project for the kids doing the basics stuff they will definitely have fun

[@ericpettyfishing]

Really cool idea. I wish I could get it to work right for me. It doesn't slink around very well the times I have tried to do this. Good thing worms are cheap. Going to try again tonight.

[@stevepoulos760]

Nice use of a coffee stirrers, definitely worth trying now that the tubing issue can be avoided. Thanks!

[@raymaylone8563]

Hey Tyler cool video!!!!!! You demonstrated and showed how to build this rig using sip sticks but you could also use the end tube from an ink pen. Take the pen apart and hold it up to a bright light to see the ink level and the cut. I tried it and it worked great. Hope this helped👍

[@huckleberry490]

Good ideal or wd 40

[@RIPPNLPS]

Well done 👍🏼

[@jeeptjdad]

Great video. This is my first time hearing of this rig. I think with some prep ahead of time, it would be a good rig to throw to give the fish something different. Certainly not something you would grab and take the time to setup on the boat though.

[@koof1776]

Thanks!

[@jjbassing9044]

Tip for the tubing, go to your closest part store and ask from the smallest vacuum tube/washer fluid tube, it’ll be the smallest thing you’ll get

[@JT.Angler7]

Looking forward to a video of you using it on the water - "it's gonna be a good one"

[@StelmachsWorld]

I have a tip for the tubing, if you’re in the north where people float fish they make surgical tubing to fix floats onto peoples line, easily found 1/16 inch tubing that way

[@morganheberling]

hey i made one of those! i just use the tubing off a ball point pen ink cartridge. the part with no ink in it. you are right about the tubing angle! i forgot to use it tho. i. just started rippin the slo roll spinnerbait! love that bite!

[@dan91lx18]

That looks like it will get a bass to bite with that crazy action

[@mikem2114]

Great tutorial

[@bobbymason3420]

Watched three vids on this yours had beat tips on rigging

[@spydermike89]

Best version yet! Thank you for sharing size of hook. Also great idea on the coffee stirrers.

[@jackwilliams8272]

Cool does it work 😊 thanks awesome video it does look great

[@phdyoutubedegree1939]

nice set up. anything can catch a fish. Seen videos of bass hitting a block of wood. Its a new look and seems will bring up the chances of a bite.

[@aleckrug1554]

Sweet. Now I can steal coffee stirrers from gas stations to fuel my fishing addiction to try this new rig!!! 😃

[@atthebrink74]

Exactly!!!

[@oldgoatvincent8005]

The straws that come on WD 40, brake cleaner cans ect, work really well. Also I put a small treble hook on the split ring for short strike. Then buried one of the trebles into the worm so it stays put. And it does work. Got fish on it and got a couple by the trebles at the end of the worm. Just thoughts for you.

[@davidmorrow5058]

Thanks Great Idea!!!

[@mylandunsen]

Wd40 isn't too good for the water tho..

[@oldgoatvincent8005]

I only use new ones. Any chemical can and is usually bad for water but also leave a scent I wouldn't want around my bait.

[@bryonbustillos7790]

What’s crazy is when I was young I wanted to make my worm look reel so I fed the hook through and pulled line through worm multiple times and it did make it look more real but this is a cleaner version of it. I did that in early 90s

[@williamtobias8948]

I saw this done a good while back. It is complicated because you have to use a small tubing so the line moves freely. But yes it does work. I used the tube from a wd40 can.

[@Unjustified_Bot]

Brilliant thinking on the can tubing.

[@adamb306]

HAHAHAHA Tyler the Arny ad was brilliant!

[@BassFishingHQ]

Glad you enjoyed it my friend

[@charlesgrahammacleodstuart510]

Already been explained in depth. I have made several, with a variety of plastics..

[@Bolanksakti]

Best knot👍

[@juli82E]

This looks so intriguing, but with the hook not tied...maybe a bobber stop above the hook? Tyler, it would be great to see you fish it in your next vid!

[@KayleeG0]

I saw the Japanese version of this and couldn’t understand a word. Thanks for making this video. That rig looks insane in the water

[@coleus]

You don't need 'words' to understand the rig, lmao.

[@fixerupper3042]

I've got to try this.

[@brazzy1467]

My buddy sent a video about this inu-rig and that he won 3 bass tournaments using this rig. My buddy used an old ink pen refill tube.

[@johnm2617]

One fish on it ! And that's it ! Re rigging this thing takes time ! Maybe you can pre rig a few * if your fishing a tourney? Action is great though!

[@melissismike]

What's your thoughts on setting the hook? Does the unirig setup fall apart easy when setting the hook ? Getting all bunched up and all. I love the action it give

[@radioflitercairplanes1715]

New out of Japan? A guide taught me this rig in 1986! & yes the smallmouth & largemouth CRUSHED it for three days straight. We also caught three Pike all over 38" Killer rig.

[@elizaz8486]

Fairly certain I’d make a mess of it, get irritated, and ultimately rig a trick worm the way I like.

[@ErikDeMann]

Saw the Japanese video from the inventor, and I've ordered the materials already. I can't wait to see how this is going to work with the sea trouts in my local streams here in Denmark.

[@daovrlord8051]

How'd it work

[@ErikDeMann]

@@daovrlord8051 They have shut down the stream fishing until March 1st, for the first time ever, so..

[@ErikDeMann]

@Jon Randough Better than expected, and I expected a lot. Let me just say that catch & release has been the norm for a couple of months now, because there's no more room in the freezer. The White GULP worm version scores highest, so far.

[@alexn8345]

Instead of a split ring, another hook will help you with those finicky fish that tends to bite on the tail.

[@garywest7049]

Coming soon to a sports shop near you!!!

[@zhb485]

My biggest concern would be hookup. Seems like you would be jamming the whole worm up towards the hook while you set the hook.

[@pauleyplay]

You are correct That is exactly what happens ! I am attempting a fix by a 2nd line from the hook to a swivel. Not convinced this will work.

[@philipbrewer6909]

That would be my concern as well. Maybe if i owned a bait company and had thousands of worms to destroy with every hook set...

[@nk7123]

If you put the hook on the end of the split ring it works better

[@Tbowie13]

I've been playing with this idea and wonder how this would work if behind the splitting you left a foot to foot and a half of line and put a 1/16 Oz dropshot weight, to keep it down in deeper water, but still allow you to cover deeper water faster? I'm gonna start playing with modifying this rig.

[@johnnyblaze2620]

This is the 3rd channel in 2 days I've seen do this lol

[@gregstacy693]

Very slick

[@ks_bass_snob]

You are right....every other video I've seen never mentioned the angle of the tubing....great tip! You could also prep a few worms so all you would have to do is tie on....would cut actual rig time on the water to a fraction. Great video 👍

[@barrettbivens9081]

Holy Cow!

[@dmacc9299]

Interesting action. Without hook being tied to the line I can’t imagine you would get consistent hookset pressure. Still may give it a try just for the heck of it.

[@TheGnthreman]

My thought exactly. Not gonna try it but will experiment with different ways to make it work.

[@pauleyplay]

Tried it That is exacty what happens. Going with a 2nd line to a swivel, nose weight, try again.

[@TheGnthreman]

@@pauleyplay keep me informed. I'm the owner of str8-upmounts and could possibly work something out.

[@slidersgliders5516]

So Kool👍

[@Tom13GN]

Can you add a light weight to the splitting end, or would it impede the performance?

[@robertday2364]

Use a kids juice box straw (& as line through for treble on swimbaits) - it’s pre-cut. Without super glue is OK too.

[@TheGnthreman]

Can't see how setting the hook without any tension on it will be good.

[@luda_yanez4302]

So does that straw, in any way, Frey up the line? I would think you may have to use a lighter to take away the sharp edges. And would it be possible to use a Palomar knot so the hook is taking all of the stress of the weight of the fish?

[@ryanbanks4573]

Older anglers out there might remember a worm th Creme sold that was similar to this that came with two weed guarded hooks. This worms action is much different though.

[@wesmattless5776]

Great demonstration, you’re the only one that’s highlighted the importance of the straw insertion angles. My big concern is leverage after setting the hook. If there’s no knot holding the hook, is all the force essentially being exerted through the rig and against the split ring at the end?

[@HeavenlySnipez]

My biggest concern as well

[@jayc5373]

Same, I might try it with a neko weight (or nail weight) in the front and tie the hook at the back where the split ring is tied on.

[@wesmattless5776]

@@jayc5373 I’d be interested to see a) if this rig gains popularity here and b) if so, how it evolves as people make their own variations.

[@JB-vl6vk]

Yes it is and the worm essentially gets destroyed from down pressure from the hook. It's a one fish bait for the most part

[@pauleyplay]

Fished it today, answer YES makes a mess. Had a stinger hook instead of a split ring. Every sunfish in the river hit it. Needs more work !

[@willtrax71]

Great Video my Friend, I haven’t seen this before and I Like new and different things. I’m sure 60 years ago that nobody had ever used an artificial Frog before but now BAM it’s normal. I wonder if this would work on Crawfish.. Stay safe my Friend Semper Fidelis

[@joefish63]

This is definitely an awesome rig...crazy movement will certainly attract and catch fish....but, companies need to commercially mass manufacture this. Ain't nobody got time to be making a supply of these to last through a full fishing season!

[@joefish63]

As a side note on the rig...rather than use the split ring at the tail end of the worm, one can use a second wacky hook, to increase hook-up possibility. AND, rather than skin hook the worm, an o-ring can be utilized, to help keep that time consuming creation of a worm from being destroyed so quickly.

[@MrHabitat009]

Wd40 straws work great

[@Hezakiah4]

Grabbed 5 stirrers from &-11 with my coffee. I figure 250 is a bit much LOL. Thanks, bro. Been over 20 since did freshwater so trying to catch up on new stuff and ideas.

[@bamadondon0495]

I saw a video the other day on this rig, but I have to admit I do not have the patience for all of the moving parts and the time that it takes to put together. I would literally have to sit down the night before and pre rig about 10 of them in case I were to either break off, flinging my bait across the lake in real in just a hook, etc etc etc and I just don't know if I have the patience for that because this bait, even though it looks really easy to try to rig, I DID RIG ONE, it's not anything you can do on the fly on the boat in the waves with the wind blowing if you don't already have some pre-rigged ready to go. But I can also see the upside an all of the cons on the bait itself because of the action it in parts and how realistic it actually looks. I promise you man these Japanese guys that come up with some of the most basic but outside the box techniques that's ever came out are so simple but ingenious!
