OK so these things are out of stock everywhere... Can't be that hard to make..... RIGHT?
What size is the down wire....do you think? I have all the supplies to make them, but
just curious what size down wire and length. I have S/B shaft wire in .024, .028 and .036 to use.
I am thinking 8 inches long wire with .036 S/S wire. Size 1 barrel swivel, # 2 or #3 split ring S/S.

Couldn't you just tie a piece of line to the eye, and hang a weight on it?
I was thinking stiffer than just line..... If I'd use just line, it would be like a drop shot... I have not seen a VMC tokyo rig in person toQuote:

I knew you would be along, Mike. That is perfect and will work for what I want :beers:
I try and stay ahead of the game.... :laugh:
Could someone please explain to me why / when this rig can work better than a ds? Seems to me to be too much "hardware" for a slow moving bait. I see no advantage....
The only advantage to me is the direct contact up and down with the weight rigid... I'm not sure there is any other benefit. I'm actually not a fan of these. Lots of metal for this technique.
Basically an extended Jika Rig.
Thank you sir!
I dont know why you need a swivel on top... I would think these wire shafts would work just as well....

Seems like a whole lot of hardware for no reason to me?

I agree with 21XDC. I don't see the purpose of the swivel. I understand why the solid wire (to add some lift). I have been using the finesse drop shot weight on a Jika Rig to add a little lift off the bottom.
I got a few of the long tail swivels off eBay to experiment with and found the wire diameter to heavy for my liking.

That is them.
I'm going to make something similar... But a weighted bait on the bottom of the wire, and a non weighted/floating bait above. Kind of like an A-Rig Jig, thing-a-mabob.
I saw those duck decoy swivel wires. I agree about the swivel at the top of the wire. I am going to make one to try with m S/B wire.
I know I'm not supposed to buy anything there, but I found some at BPS (on sale - $3.29). I'm gonna' give it a try, what the heck?
I made one of these this morning, the thing I did different was twisted an eye with .035 wire. I wish I knew how to load a picture!! But you can see it on” Do-It mold tackle crafters FB page.

I made mine with titanium wire. I like it better than stainless because it is much more flexible and much stronger with less diameter. Just heat the wire until glowing red at all the places you need to twist or bend, or else the wire will break.
After watching Angling Edge yesterday, i now understand the rig a little more...
which show? link?Quote:

This may help someone.
Have you bought anything from this seller? I get that they are from Asia, but expected delivery is anywhere between January 29 and March 3rd. Is such a wide rangeQuote:
