The inurig. Winner or loser?

[CrashVector]

So, I took the time to rig up two of these to give it a shot.

 

Anyone used one and care to give your thoughts?

[scaleface]

How long did it take you to rig it and how many fish do you think you can catch on each one ? I dont see how it will last more than one fish . I'm not trying it , at least for now . I'm usually  late to the party but seems like to much work .

That's the thing for me too. Way too much work for it to get blown up after a fish. Then what? See you back in the water in a half hour?

You have to also tie 3 FG knots in the line to make the action just right so more like 45 minutes

First one took me about 5-6 minutes.

 

Second probably 2-3 minutes.

 

The durability is the big question for me too.

If i had to do one, i would use a zman worm to make sure i don't have to rig again if the worm tears.

[Bass Rutten]

I’ve seen it rigged so the hook is tied to the tail where the split ring would be but stuck into the tail like a neko rig, should help with durability, I’m sure this rig will continue to evolve.

[Finessegenics]

Way too much work for me. And no I don’t use the FG knot either

[RDB]

I had a few hours this weekend so, I tried it out of curiosity.  I just watched the beginning of the video so I’m not sure about the 3 FG knot thing people are referring to.  I used coffee straws that I use for line through swimbaits.  It’s pretty easy and only took a few minutes but if I were to do it again, I would pre-rig the straws so you can switch out quickly.  It caught fish and looked pretty good but they were really turned on so I ended up fishing moving baits…it was still functional after 3-4 fish.  Glad I tried it but I will just opt for a wacky rig if I want similar action.

Thanks for the info!

 

I dunno about the FG thing either...I used the coffee straws.  Going to test it tomorrow, but my "hunch" is similar to yours: wacky rig probably accomplished the same thing.

[T-Billy]

Complicated solution looking for a problem to solve IMO. I prefer to keep it simple.

I think he was kidding about adding 3 fg knots

[Jaderose]

I watched about a minute of that video, laughed, shut it off, and will promptly forget about it.  I'm not dealing with that mess...lol

I rigged a few up so I can try them out. I used some straws from aerosol spray cans for the tubing and that worked great. I used VMC crossover rings in hopes of extending the life of the bait. I built them on about a 18" FC leader and tied a small swivel on the end so I can just tie them on and fish. I haven't had the chance to try them yet but will get out and thrown them this week.

Let us know how they work!

[ajschn06]

Loser....

 

overthinking it

[CrashVector]

Tried em today...the action is awkward to fish tbh.  I don't see the advantage over a wacky rig.

 

Did I catch any?  Yes.  Did I catch more than usual?  No.

[the reel ess]

This thing is all over YouTube. Looks to me like if you intend to catch 5 fish you'd better rig 5 of these. Or you could just put a nightcrawler on a hook.

[CrankFate]

What an inurig? The opposite of the Nekorig? 

[Craig P]

I think it's funny how many YouTubers jumped on board.  Anything to get a view....

I caught three on the same lure using a Zoom trick worm in green pumpkin blue flash.

 

Thing is: I can always catch 5-6 at that spot no problem.  No difference between it and a wacky rig imo, except it takes longer to rig.

That's why I always test stuff before I make a video about it.

yeah it caught fish and worked well, personally the exposed hook is a problem and durability it lasts one fish, so im ganna give it a no for now.

[Darth-Baiter]

I’ll pass.  
 

my fish destroy the wacky rig.  That fragile inurig would come apart completely I imagine. 
 

I’ll try the chicken rig Saturday. Looks like an doable rig sitting in a kayak. 

[thediscochef]

So far the easiest version I've made is with a t-rig worm hook/head, one segment of straw at an angle in the middle, and a small baitholder hook at the tail. Elaztech zinkerz. It does not like superglue so avoid that. I haven't fished it yet. But dangling it produces good action. It's just hard to break away from my usual one lure to test new things ? 

It takes about 2-3 minutes to rig. Straw first into the worm, then t-rig the worm head. If you already have a leader tied, then you can thread it through the head and the straw, tie the tail hook to the line and hook the worm. I prefer to tie the hook to the leader and then tie the leader to the mainline. Either way works. 

[Mbirdsley]

Might as well cut out the middle man, save time and just buy some the old K&E, Ike-con or striper Kelly pre rigged worms.  Get them for like $1.99.  You even get to pull the little baggies off the card board backing 

 

heck if you buy the creme version it comes with a spinner for a couple extra cents 

 

edit:  I can’t believe bass pro is selling those for $5.99.  As a kid we used to get those for a buck
