By separating the weight from the hook via a stainless steel wire dropper, you gain a massive advantage in hookup ratios; because the weight isn't directly attached to the hook, fish can't use it as leverage to spit the bait during a fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eHow to Rig\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col start=\"1\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSlide on the Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e Choose your preferred sinker (tungsten or lead) and slide it onto the stainless steel dropper wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSecure the Base:\u003c\/b\u003e Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to bend the bottom of the wire upward at a 90-degree angle (or into a small loop) to lock the weight in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eRig the Bait:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas-rig your favorite soft plastic creature bait or worm onto the heavy-duty wide gap hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTie On:\u003c\/b\u003e Attach your mainline or leader to the solid ring at the top of the rig and you're ready to cast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHeavy Duty Wide Gap Hook:\u003c\/b\u003e Forged from high-carbon steel, this hook is built to handle heavy braided lines and the most aggressive hooksets in thick cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOne-Piece Solid Ring:\u003c\/b\u003e The hook and wire dropper are connected via a durable solid ring, ensuring maximum strength and preventing your line from getting pinched or frayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCustomizable Dropper Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e The stainless steel wire allows you to customize your sink rate on the fly by swapping weights to match depth and current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003e3° Offset Point:\u003c\/b\u003e Specifically angled to increase your hookup percentage by ensuring the point finds purchase the moment you set the hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThe Tokyo Rig is incredibly versatile—try \"punching\" it through heavy mats of vegetation.
