Yamatanuki Rigging Secret. What the creator told us.

Hello! This is Angler Waki. In this video, I’ll share a valuable tip for using the Gary Yamamoto Yamatanuki, a fantastic lure created by Gary International, Gary Yamamoto’s Japanese retailer. Mr. Kawabe, the president of Gary International and the creator of Yamatanuki, recommends a deep piercing hook setting, which is to set the hook point further back than usual to prevent the lure from slipping out of the fish’s mouth. This is what he recommends.

Definitely interested in that lure. Excellent video as always.

[JanoyCresva]

Thank you! I've had a bag of these in my tackle backpack for a long time and just never really used it. Ill try now!

[ryandoherty]

Subtitles are definitely not necessary. You have better English than many! Great video as per usual 🙂

I just got home from slaying smallmouth all day... I have a couple different sizes and colors of this lure, and can't wait to try the creator's tip... Thanks for sharing and glad I found your channel... I just subscribed, my friend... Regards

So I’ve been using this bait since its release. The yamatanuki in all sizes absolutely slays. The cupped face and that tail give a crazy action that you won’t get elsewhere. Imo I believe the best place to fish this lure is rip rap rock because everytime the bait hits a rock the tail jiggles in the back driving the bass crazy I highly recommend getting these lures if you want a fun day of fishing

[mobasser]

Another great video, I’ll try your rigging tip as I have been missing fish but just thought it was small fish, thank you!

I rig the small yamatanuki on Zappu ringed piledriver 1/0 and have great success and hookup ratio.Decoy versatile keeper helps to set it on the perfect position Thanks for sharing.

Just caught PB on this bait yesterday! 5.2 in NH usa big for over here.

I know in Japan it is harder to catch Bass. But in the US, we catch many and can not afford to lose one bait with every Bass. So with soft Yamamoto baits I use Owner 4/0 Twistlock hooks. Baits last much longer. Also on the Yamatanuki, I turn the hook one hundred eighty degrees and do not use the hook slots. The hook slots cause me more missed bass.

Thank you for your videos much love from California

I like using the mustad 91768 30degree jig hook in the 1/0 size with a large owner screwlock for the 2.5 size .the large owner screwlock helps hold the bait better with less tearouts plus the gap is big enough that when the hookslot gets worn out i just turn the bait halfway and rig straight thru . It positions hook as described in your video

[ChizuMcCheems]

I forgot where I heard it but using a 5/0 ewg hook is really helpful, i been crushing bass on the green pumpkin/amber tanuki going weedless/weightless. Thanks for the video!

[drock]

I love the Tanuki. Have had a lot of success with smallmouth in rivers, rigged with an owner ultra finess head. I wish they'd have made a 2.75" instead of the 2.5" though.

[CDSilverado]

I like this guy. Down to earth type of person! Great fisherman.

[tims_always_fishing]

I run a mustad infiltrator 4/0 and a large owner spring lock. Was able to get 5 bass on 1 tanuki. Tight lines 🎣

[Love_to_Fish_Bfs]

2.5 is a BFS killing machine!!! My confidence bait for now I’ve gotten my PB on that bait this year 4.5lb 👍

[vernellblack]

I had a few of them and used em up. The. Found one on the ground and was hooking up!
Great lure but you'll use a bag very quick

[davidcloyd]

Thanks! That makes sense and shouldn’t negatively affect the action as the tail is still free to wiggle.. however, , with the hook eye buried in the bait and the line coming through the head it makes it easier for the line to cut through the head and lose the bait. Oh well, I’m not sure a bait would last more than a couple fish anyway.
