Overview
Built for fishing around brush, wood, and other heavy cover, this rig combines a heavy-duty flippin’ hook with a solid ring, rolling swivel, and a 2.5" stainless steel dropper arm. Its simple setup lets you slide on your preferred weight and bend the wire into place with pliers, making it easy to tailor for the presentation you want. The double-spike bait keeper is designed to hold soft plastics securely, helping keep the bait in position through demanding cover. For anglers looking for a tougher Tokyo rig setup, this version adds a more robust construction without changing the basic rigging concept.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for heavy cover use, so it may be more than needed for open-water or lighter presentations.
- The rig requires you to add your preferred weight separately, which adds setup steps and lets you tailor the final presentation.
- The 2.5" stainless steel dropper arm is fixed in length, so it offers less flexibility than rigs with adjustable dropper options.
- Built around a heavy-duty flippin' hook, which can be a trade-off if you prefer a lighter, more finesse-oriented setup.
