What is the Tokyo Rig?
The simplest way to describe the Tokyo Rig is a hook connected to a short three-inch wire. You then affix a weight to the wire and bend the wire at the bottom. The hook and wire are connected to a ring with a barrel swivel attached to help prevent line twists.
VMC has taken the lead in introducing this rig to the masses and produces several varieties with different hook configurations, but you can easily make your own. All you need to do is a piece of sturdy wire, a split ring, a barrel swivel, and your favourite hook.
The beauty of this rig is that the soft plastic bait of your choice can be Texas-rigged, and you can add any weight size you desire. The entire package is compact and looks like a miniature drop-shot rig that can be fished anywhere. It will remain weedless and still has the great action of fishing a drop-shot rig.
