Introducing the Inu

LET’S JUST SAY this “dog” will hunt. It’s called the Inu rig and, from all accounts, this semi S-shaped configuration with a central connection and killer motion appears destined to be the next big thing. (Stand by for canine clarification.)

Clichéd hype? Maybe, but terms like wacky, drop shot, Ned and Neko instantly remind us how one spark of creativity, one toe dipped into the pool of possibility, a moment of “what if?” inspiration can revolutionize an industry.

Considering the world first heard about the Inu rig in early fall, its impact has yet to be measured. Nevertheless, intrigue has sparked a wildfire of interest with tinkerers and tackle junkies nationwide sharing their take on social media platforms.

Even as you read this, Inu rig experimentation has reached mad scientist level. We’re chasing a loose puppy at this point, so let’s simply look at the what, who and how, and then you can determine the Inu iteration that fits your purposes.
