I show how easy it is to make your own Yokyo rigs! Inexpensive wire, hooks and swivels are easily assembled into a very effective Tokyo rig that is great for heavy cover, spawning bass and deep water applications!
Hello Roland! Could you please get your camera man to get close up shots so that I can see better??? It would really make a difference 😊👍. Please and thank you sir!!
Great video Roland, I have been watching you since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Pretty much all my childhood my aunt Helen was in love with you. My aunt was a fishing fanatic and loved your show. My aunt Helen babysat me and my brother when we were kids and nowadays, 40 years later we are bass fishing fanatics thanks to you. Keep the great videos coming can’t wait to see more.
You’re tips are so awesome. All the stuff on senko fishing really helped this year. Been paying more attention to where my rod tip is and I have a much more consistent hook up ratio. Thanks Mr. Martin!
I was following along as you were showing us and darnedest thing if my eyes didn't get all squinty on me so I remembered your advise from before and laid on my side and blow me down with a feather...abracadabra all good.
Roland Martin the Man the Machine.!! Great Video my Friend and I’ve been experimenting with welding wire and making some longer leads for my weight and it’s been working well. Stay safe my Friend Semper Fidelis
Roland, you have always been one of my favorites! You have inspired me in many ways and now I have started my own youtube channel that is geared towards how to and tip n tricks with some fishing and hunting adventures too!
You finally showed something that I don't already have in my tackle LOL. I always associated the wire leader with saltwater fishing. I'm definitely going to order some and since it's winter I can make a few up and be ready in the spring. Thank you for all your great tips that you have given over the years. I hope you and your family have a wonderful New year.
I guess when you told Gary Yamamoto the Senko was a "nothing lure" you still hadn't learned your lesson yet about speaking too quickly LOL. This video is fantastic! I'm now hooked and waiting for these posts as if they were a regular TV series. Please continue to post historical stories like this along with the regular tips and on-the-water videos. Probably not everyone realizes that you were there at the beginning, or the magnitude of your many accomplishments. Roland -- has anyone stepped forward and offered to write your complete autobiography? In my opinion, if that doesn't happen the fishing world is really missing out. In the meantime, videos like this are a great substitute, and in some ways may even be better. It would be great to hear some stories about your experiences and lessons learned along the way of winning some of your more memorable tournaments. Thanks for the effort you're putting into this!
Good stuff! I’m going to have to make some of these. I have some of the VMC ones and like them. But being able to choose the length of the drop wire and the hook I want to use would be awesome. Thanks for the video, Roland. Glad you got a RU-vid going. I watched all the time when I was a kid. Never forget when that monster bass jumped right out of your hands when you were wade fishing lol. That thing was a giant! Hey, if you wouldn’t mind, I’ve got my own little channel going now and I’d love for you to drop by. It’s been growing pretty well. In fact I just posted a Tokyo Rig video this morning with high quality test tank footage. Some silky smooth slow motion in it too. Thanks again!
I haven’t used the Tokyo rig yet. But the first time I seen it I knew I wasn’t paying for that rig. To me there’s a lot of similarities to the salmon rig we used to use up in Ontario. Thanks for the how to!
Roland just wanted to wish you and your family a happy new year. Love your channel and it has made me a much better fisherman. I use your tips all the time. I hope the best for you, your family and your channel in this new year.
Thank you very much for this, I just really wish that you would list all of the equipment you use in your videos in the "Video Description" it would really help! Thanks, keep them coming and hopefully you'll consider listing the gear/equipment used in your videos.
Hi Roland I make my own Tokyo rigs but I use a split ring to connect the three parts and I feel that that's a better way then just to connect everything with the loop in The Wire like you do. Just my opinion I'm sure yours works well to. But I guess we all have our own ways of making things.
@@RolandMartinOutdoors hello again Roland. I use the split ring to join everything because it allows all three of the other parts to work independently.
Tie as a standard dropshot rig. Use splitshot instead. They slide off the tag end when the sinker hangs up in rocks. Pinch on a new splitshot and youre in business.
Was it you that did the Old Carp video with Wheaties and bugle mouth ? Or was it Jimmy ? Do some RETRO tackle days out. The stuff that made you guys Legendary.
@@RolandMartinOutdoors Lol! Just kidding! Great video! Thanks for all your wisdom and I hope you have as many decades ahead of you as you do behind you! Happy New Year!!!
You still have any HELICOPTER LURES, bet Scott doesn't know what they are, I used to have a tackle store in port Charlotte back in the 90s, sold a ton of them, wish I would've kept some
I like this but I’ve been doing a similar setup using the extra line from the palomar knot and a drop weight about 8-10” down and I can’t see the advantage of using a rigid line going down. I guess on a solid bottom lake it would suspend the bait a few more seconds but not much difference
Roland, I love your videos, knowledge and the fact that you share and teach that knowledge. However, on this video I would have liked closeups so I could see what you were doing. Like the weight, I’m assuming you put it on point down.
I feel like this is a drop shot with a swivel? Couldn't you tie a swivel to your line, then tie on a drop shot and do the same? Or am I wrong? It's a neat little rig though!
You have vast knowledge about what you are teaching however without close-up video the messages are being lost to many viewers. I for one like close up images along with with your explanations.
Over 50 and eyesight is... well... anyway that you could produce the video where we could see what you are doing when you are building the 'rig'? Seems like great info but you started the video with 'I'll show you...' ... I can't see what you are 'showing'...
Me: "Why is it a called a super line Roland?" Roland: "Well you see it's a super line because it says it right here in the package" Me: "Oh okay Roland that was very informative, heres your paycheck." - - - Me: "So are you gonna show everyone at home how it's made Roland?" Roland: "Yes of course" *while fumbling hooks around and then proceeds to explain and show how to set it up, while the camera is literately 10 feet away, while he handles hooks you can barely see in his hands" Me: "This man is a literal god folks."
NEXT TIME!!...have better Camera ANGLES & close-ups of exactly what you are describing...because we mainly see you talk but insteady the whole process could have been shown on the video for better understanding of what motions you are doing while twisting or connecting the wires & swivels.
