Many big fish like to hide in heavy grass-covered waters, such as blackfish, dogfish, and bass, because there is plenty of oxygen and food there, where small fish gather, and it's a good place to hide. However, a lot of lures can't penetrate the heavy grass cover and are easy to get hung up, so many anglers have a headache. The Tokyo Rig introduced today is ideal for fishing in heavy grass.

Origin: The Tokyo Rig was invented by professional angler Mike Iaconelli, who was inspired by a fishing experience he had at Lake Biwa in Japan in 2017. He then collaborated with VMC to launch the set in 2018, naming it the "Tokyo Fishing Set". The fact that such a "young" fishing set is so popular in the world of Lua is a testament to its effectiveness.

Composition: The Tokyo Jig can be ready-made or DIY, and consists of a hook, an O-ring, an eight-ring, and a thin steel wire, much like an inverted hook. The hooks of the Tokyo jig can be cranked or straight shanked, and can be used with worm, shrimp or fish type soft baits. The common way to hang the bait is the Texas hanging method, which hides the hook tip to prevent hanging grass, and you can also use the lead head hook hanging method and the Wacky hanging method, which is suitable for fishing in the rocky area.

Lead drops are usually made of penetrating bullet lead or cylindrical lead, with the bullet lead pointed downward.
