- Three Ways to make the Jika Rig (Bass Fishing Hacks). This is the Better Ned Rig! Before the VMC Tokyo Rig, the Owner Jika or Jig Rig was a great way to catch bass that was Under utilized. Tokyo Rig likely gain it's popularity due to how much social media have aged and how big the fishing community have gotten. But let's give it the Jika rig a chance and blow it back up! Easier to make than the tokyo rig and much more Snagless than the Tokyo Rig!

Love the way you fish. Always full of ideas and methods. I like to try new things. Always come away more knowledgeable from your videos.
Thx man! I love sharing what I like to use :)
I liked the last one with the loop knot. Nice and clean with minimal hardware. Great video, Jimmy!
thanks buddy! i bet you can get some trout with that where you are at ;)
🤯 can’t wait to use this great rig! Thanks 🙏🏾
You will love it! Old school rig that inspired the current fad: Tokyo rig!
fantastic video! Very insightful! thank you for sharing!
Glad you have enjoyed it
Another good video as usual. Very informative. I started using the line clip method but have switched to a loop knot because it requires less hardware as you pointed out. I have also seen a Loop knot drop shot setup as well.Keep em coming!
thx bud! my goal is to spread the love for this older rig. I post a lot on IG, which i have over 40k followers and man not many ppl have used this even tho it's over a decade old! The loop knot drop shot? salt water folks uses a dropper loop.
I personally don't want my drop shot to swing, i don't nose hook either. i thread through using a straight shank hook/aberdeen hook. The reason is that it should be finesse, not jumping all over the place. if you need it to move that much, i'd just use a light jighead and swim the lure/vertical jig it. just a preferred way of mine that put me on few PB crappies, bass and pickerels so far ^_^
Something to work at while under lockdown, thx!
no problem capt'n ^^
Capt Adobo haha gotta love Nacho Libre
I’m definitely gonna try this setup for stripers 👌 thanks for sharing ✊✊✊
Should try the rig for fluke!
I like the last rig with the line loop. 👍
That saved me many times!
OOOH!!! Like your JR, most of the time the split ring thing turned me off. The snap, yea! and the loop knot better yet!!. Thank you for the insightful ideas. Will try soon.
Glad to help! Gotta show all of the options for everyone :) snap was always been my go to, easy breezy to change out hooks and weight! more time fishing!
Great man. I use it on the decoy jika rig with ZMan Bugz. Fishing in Germany Canals with stones. This combination is awesome. ZMan Bugz on a Jika. 🔥🔥🔥
Jika rig slaying globally woot! 🙌🙌
Great video!
Thx mate! i appreciate it! 👍👍
Great rig favorite bait is zoom ultra vibe speed craw.. it catches fish and a swim bait paddle tail
indeed! the rig is so versatile that it will work with most plastics and which it means it can work for just about anyone to fit their styles and confident baits! :)
Great video
Thanks!
Thanks for Jika reminder and tips!
I like neds but don't like exposed hooks. This i will use tomorrow!
No problem man! I really love it and I dont want to nor want you to pay for expensive weedless ned jigs. It is why it make sense to bring back the jika and also forgo the Tokyo... which is just too bulky for finesse fishing.
It's a dope 'formula' because there are tons of ways to use this using different weight/hook size combos for finesse to punching, like you mentioned. And the baits are better and better and more are floating or floating appendages like shakey head plastics.
indeed! the floating or even neutral buoyancy plastics can give it a totally different action/presentation all together. My goal this year is to revitalize the Jika rig! so if you can, teach someone how to rig and fish this ;) (i know i'll get shot by some tournament anglers tho cuz it's their secret lol)
@@rawrfishing I love to teach people new fishing techniques!
If a random someone asks me how to fish whatever technique im using, i usually give them a rig to try and give them a 5 min lesson. Ive done this often. I fish alone a lot and I guess it's easy to ask....
I have had so many people thank me from the bottom of their hearts because many use this as a source. Of protein for the family. It means so much to many.
way to go dude!!!
i like the no hardware version pretty cool.
It's a neat way to do it ;)
Why doesn't this have more views
I speculate a few reasons: 1 Jika Rig is old school, too old and when Tokyo Rig came out, it out shined it due to UA-camrs who wanted to jump on the fresh rig. 2. As a small UA-camr, it gets generally less views in the first place, so it doesn't get suggested often. 3. Not much people share videos within the fishing community unless it's something "trending". note these my theories, but I am glad you like this video! hope you slay this season with this rig!
@@rawrfishing I've been using your punch rig, the weight+wire+UV cure epoxy++hook+lure, successfully for a while and this is something I want to give a whirl because of how practical it seems. When I catch something on this I'll let you know!
Ahh the home made satsuteki weight! Its a great rig indeed. Try this and the Tokyo rig and let us know which of the three you like most!
Perfect timing, I was just going through my tackle box and found a bunch of 1/0 ewg hooks... no idea why I bought them... but they’d be perfect for this. I tried with just a split ring and just a snap, but my cylinder weights actually have the elongated teardrop shape to snap onto the line, so it would just swing on one side only. I ended up using a split ring as a main connector and using the snap below for the weight. Now I can change out to different weights too. Can’t wait to try it out. Thx for the ideas
it's a fantastic way to fish! going finesse with it is something people should do more often as it's often for mid to large lures and heavy weights for punching. I personally done all finesse with this, like the japanese. the folks here, in america used it for heavy stuff, but I will revitalize the true usage of this legendary rig ;) thanks for watching and let me know how it goes for you! oh, use super glue if u use zman stuff. they don't stay on the hook long! once u dab that on.. it stays on forever!
raWr Fishing will do. I was planning on using the ned bomb for it, or little havoc pit bosses. As far as Zman stuff. What do you do when you change out baits or put them away when you are done fishing? I have a little pile of zman ned rigs with different colored TRDs and mini jigs all rigged on after use. They have the wire keeper so I can’t really take em off without destroying them. Kinda similar to your superglue. Do you just take em off and toss em? Some times I’m just going out for an hour or two and it seems like a waste of perfectly good bait to do so. Trying to figure how to put them away afterwards. Thx
i have 3 colors, green pumpkin, the GP with that chartreuse belly and white.. if it's not winter and water isn't clear, i won't use white.. if it's not muddy, i won't use the chartreuse.. and the rest 80%... just GP.. so super glue it on forever! :)
I really like the Zman Chinlock Hooks idea.. but they don't have it weightless.. knowing me.. i may retrofit something now using wires and epoxy... but super glue doesn't really rip it that bad.. just a small dab!
looks good
Thx my man! Bfs jika rig with ned rigging! Let's go
raWr Fishing,
Last year the Jika was my favorite lure. Caught my PD small mouth bass and large mouth on this rig and a lot of others. So far this year no fish. Still have faith in the rig I have not had many chances to use it. I also got into making my own, as someone mentioned I don’t like tying off to a split ring. The factory version uses a welded ring. I wish I could find them. I priced it out my home made version is about the same as the factory unit. Love the swagger tackle pencil weights allowed me to make some light weight units. Don’t like the Ned head open hook rigs that is what drew me to the Jika, the worm style hook. I use Z-Man little and big TRD’s, small Senko’s and Smallie Beaver trailers. Thanks for the tips and tricks.
Jika is such an amazing rig yet under utilized. My goal is to revive it by suggesting folks to try it for ned rigging instead of using a ned jig.
You can buy EWG hooks with a welded ring. VMC makes two kinds. One heavy duty for punching mats and a lighter wire hook. Gamakatsu also makes one EWG for super lined. Owner is coming out with one as well. Was just shown at ICAST 2023.
I've tried these but no luck yet. But it was middle of winter lol. Also tried the same setup just with the long wire dropping down. I was shocked at how well it moved through the weeds. It seems virtually snagless. I need to take out just that one setup and leave all else behind. The duolock makes it much much cleaner than having a three way swivel contraption going on
sounds like you tried the Tokyo Rig! this rig is very versatile. you will catch fish with it! keep at it bud!
It works. Was at my local pond today and caught 7 bass using the same Z-Man TRD same color in less than an hour. Slowly dragging it on the bottom.
Iv been using this rig hard this season but iv found a even better version 😜
Everything and anything can be altered and improved on! With that said, would u be willing to share ?
I pm you on your Instagram bud
i would add a swivel just like the tokyo rig personally i dont like to tie my lines on the split ring getting nicks and possibly line cut off from that ring. I made my own tokyo rigs from your video before, used it never caught anything yet not enough chances this year.
I dont mind tying to split rings. Double the line and tie or wrap the eye twice. And my wife have said, a lure not used is worthless... so stop buying more lures until u use up what you got! Lol... give this or the Tokyo rig another chance. I will use it a lot in the up coming days
Gonna try this on big plastics shads for pike, not that big 12,15cm Sakura l16 and cannibal shads, have the lake full of trees and weed, with pike, zander and big perch i bet both 3 would love the rig ( hope catfish dont haha) great video, so it wont twist on cast? Planing using 15 to 25gr weights on snap, its a deep lake and i need long cast, hope they work, also round and pencil weights.. So you put hook first then weight on a snap?
Does not twist on cast because weight flies forward first ususally. U put weight in the snap, then hook facing up last
@@rawrfishing thnx very much 👌
I will have to try this out. So are you using light wire EWG hooks?
do it man! i normally use regular ones. unless you really into the finesse, you can use the thin stuff. i got bowfins and snakeheads here so i gotta use at least mid grade, if not super line gamakatsu so they don't bend out from a death roll. If you are punching heavy cover for big stuff, obviously thicker hooks!
Hi Jim: What size dual lock are you using? If that was a owner it looks like a roughly a size 3. Would you ever use anything smaller than that? As if you were using a number two hook. Do you also think using the dual lock snap is there really any need for a barrel swivel?I know on the Tokyo rigs to use a viral swivel I understand there's a lot more hardware to cause twisting. I believe the ducket Jika rigs use a barrel swivel.
Swivel is not needed for jika rigs. Tokyo rig is like more of a power shot rig or drop shot. Thus it's needed when Fishing deeper waters.
Clips sizes will vary for your lure sizes and weight, but 2 is acceptable in most finesse cases.
I would look into strong paper clip style ones like tactical anglers clip and alike for heavier lures and heavy cover
Hi Jimbo: I put in a coment about building the Jika Rig trying the Norman Magnum Speed clips instead of the Dou-Loc clips. Now I see the Mustad KVD Fastach Clip that are used on the Z-Man chatterbaits. Or the TACTICAL ANGLER'S Power Clips also seen as the Pline Technical Snap What are your thoughts? Would you do another video trying these to options out and give your thoughts after fishing them? You are the Jika Rig man on UA-cam!
Jimbo approves! I use those heavier clips for bigger fish! They definitely work better. Try BKK one too!
@@rawrfishing what is BKK?
A brand, check em out.
The less weeds ned works fine 🙂
Cool ideal tho👍
Yes indeed. Where i find this rig awesome are rocks!
Jimbo, I see the rig you made with the duo lock you are you using the , Gamakatsu Worm G-Lock Hook. Do you like that hook better than the hybrid g finess worm hook? Especially for the Z-Man plastics?
I don't think I have a preference between the two. It was coincidence that I nabbed this bag of hooks from the garage lol. What so you think tho. Which one you like better?
@@rawrfishing they say the G-lock holds the plastic well.
I do like it for it! I am hoping to see VMC release their hooks that the eye strike fishing brand use for their articulated jigs! Bait holder made of lead works well
RAWR do you know a good place like ali express to get jika weights?
You can be cheap and just get lead bell shaped weights and its available almost any where. But for these cylindrical ones and tungsten... not really. This is why the Tokyo rig is nice. But people don't adjust the wire to keep it short... I actually do!
Nice vid!!! You been out fishing recently?
thanks! but of course! i don't always post videos ;) gotta save the secret spots lOl, also sometimes i don't even have the time to edit. i think i have 2 trips that i won't release this year and will be stock pile for next year since it's already april tomorrow. doesn't make sense to release a video of late winter pickerel fishing when it's spring
raWr Fishing great to hear! I’m the same way, can’t post any videos of my honey holes 😬
definitely not at this time! don't wanna inspire folks now to flock all over it given that they can't go to the mall, but can go fishing
I prefer the duoloc version but mostly a version of tactical clips, easy to change bait or weight. A split ring, a new knot makes many of us fish the same bait or weight too long... I regularily fish from shore and you get snagged so I even cut a "dent" in the eye of the lead weight so that part usually break first and saves me the bait. I even use drop shot type lead weights with one swivel at each end and cut them in half for desired weight, saves me a lot of money... Tungsten is too expensive and usually doesn't give a significant edge with jika in most situations. Tungsten has its advantages but is generally hyped Imho..
I like tactical clips too. Although Tungsten is expensive... We have plenty of Anglers who uses for eco reasons and some use it for regulation purposes. The only two benefit are how hard they are and the sound they make when they hit hard rocks. But I do agree that the price does not make the little amount of benefit worth it. That said, I use it for eco purposes only when I have to.
Thanks for the reply! Sound may attract or scare, hard to know what unless you run a head-to-head test between them during the day. Agree the hardness of tungsten will probably prevent it from wedging between rocks as easy as soft lead. Lead is toxic if digested, birds and humans alike. However, as I understand lost lead weights simply lying on the bottom of a lake is not toxic, won't pollute the water in any significant way.
@@andersriksson100 although I am not into marine biology, we got waterways that requires it. We even have water retaining reservoirs that sells annual fishing passes, but no lead cuz it's drinking water. So I dunno... If I were closer and I can fish a private lake... I won't mind abiding by the rules for some better fishing lol... Urban fishing is tough here!
@@rawrfishing Yes you are right of course, fishing pressure varies a lot, I would't use lead if prohibited. I fish in Sweden and we have a lot of lakes, a few with high pressure near cities but most with low or very low fishing pressure.
Sweet! What do u fish for there?
The 3rd one no hardware was pretty cool.. 🤔😁
It sure is man
In my experience, Z-Man plastics are bad about sliding down worm hooks. I use epoxy and wire to add one to any hook I want to use
U are right! I super glue mines
chin lock hooks work great for Zman plastics
they sure do man! helps a ton! being a cheappo, i'd just use super glue haha
Try the Arkies and Eagle Claw at Walmart, ,I think they work pretty good but mot suitable for ned rigs
Try a small rubber bead threaded on after popping the hook through the bait but before putting the hook point through the body of your Z Man lure. Push it right up on to the keeper bend. The lures stay on great and can be removed so easy when you want a change. Ive been doing this for ages. It works.
They have smallmouth bass in Hawaii?? That's something I didn't know!
Oh yeah and peacock and largemouth, blotch snakehead, clown knife fish... Oscar etc
Do you have a reccomended weight or is it just find what works?
I personally like light as possible for finesse l. I normally run 1/8th to 1/4th. But if ur punching and going big and heavy... consider half oz or more depending on the size of ur lure and thickness of mats. If ur in current, consider 1/4 and up.
raWr Fishing ok thanks
No problem thx for watching!
What size weights do you typically use on this rig?
Depends on lure size and water depth and or cover thickness. For finesse... 1/8th is the typical. Feel free to adjust to fit the water you are fishing.
@@rawrfishing thanks I figured 1/8 3/16 possibly I didn't have any of those drop shot casting weights so I had an old mojo slider weight that we use for finesse Carolina rigging I took a piece of bus wire and rigged it up through to test it out just to see how the rig would work I have the snaps, split rings
@@rawrfishing do you like fishing the Jika rig or the Tokyo rig more, or they just two different kind of rigs.
@@vincentlivoti4184 to me they are the same. The Tokyo Rig was designed to allow ppl to easily change weights. But it appears that ppl use it like a power shot rig. If I use the Tokyo rig... I don't have a long wire shaft. I bend it to secure the weight and cut the rest off. With that said... long live the OG jika rig
@@vincentlivoti4184 that's the beauty of fishing! you can tinker with many different things to achieve the desired effect! dropshot weights can get pricey, so making your own tokyo rigs format and just put w.e weights you want would be ideal. I do have a tutorial on that as well if you wanna look it up. likely be the first one to pop up if you search for Tokyo Rig DIY
Too bad they don't make lighter pencil weights. Would love to get 1/16 oz ones.
u can always go back to the tokyo rig, or use lead 1/8th and cut down on some lead! The ONLY reason i saw tokyo rig was good was because i had a bunch of slim carolina lead weights that are cylindrical and I have em at 1/8th. half it and u get two 1/16 woot! www.jannsnetcraft.com/fishing-sinkers/345490.aspx
I had trouble finding 1/16 weights so I took some cylinder style drop shot weights and modified the line pinch connection (whatever you call it) with split ring pliers and a skinny screwdriver to form a ring. Can't wait to test it out!
What size split ring were you using?
Size 2 split rings should work but every brand is different and if you get salt ready ones it can also be different. the most important is that it should fit your hook and your hook can swing easily.
Hi Jim try these instead of the duo loc snaps. I have been using them for years on my crank baits and jerk baits. Please do a follow up video with them. www.basspro.com/shop/en/norman-lures-speed-clips
I dunno about these since it's literally like split rings. The tactical anglers are a faster way or the BKK version. Spro got one too
Well my comment got deleted and it was just some extra info.
It probably wasn't deleted... UA-cam flag messages for review... I got so many from bots and spammers.
I'm sure this is a great video however your hands popping in-and-out is so damn annoying I couldn't watch more than one minute.
Cant please everyone
