During the 1942 Battle of Milne Bay in Papua (now part of Papua New Guinea), the Allies of World War II faced the Japanese Kaigun Tokubetsu Rikusentai (Special Naval Landing Forces), who wore jika-tabi as part of their uniform. The distinctive tread marks left by the boots allowed Allied troops (mostly Australian troops with some American units) to follow the tracks, and thus Japanese soldiers, through the muddy forests. Examples of the boots worn by Japanese soldiers are held by the Australian War Memorial.[10]

Though they have faced competition by the introduction of steel-toe workboots in some industries, jika tabi are still preferred by some due to the flexibility of the soles allowing the wearer a greater degree of grip than rigid-soled shoes allow. Other varieties of jika-tabi have been developed for specific labouring purposes, such as knee-high jika-tabi made entirely of rubber used by workers in rice fields and other wet and muddy environments.

In recent years, some jika-tabi manufacturers have introduced steel-toe and hard resin varieties of jika-tabi, which have been approved by the Japan Occupational Safety and Health Resource Center.[citation needed] These have some precedents in traditional kgake (tabi with chainmail or plate armour).

Outside Japan, jika-tabi are available from online and martial-arts shops, and are used by practitioners of the martial art of Bujinkan budo taijutsu, especially when training outdoors. Jika-tabi are also commonly worn for certain kinds of exercise, specifically cross country running, walking, and climbing.

Though typically worn for manual labour and exercise, jika-tabi are also worn for comfort and as a casual shoe. A variation of jika-tabi known as matsuri tabi is so called due to commonly being worn for festivals; this variety features extra cushioning in the sole for comfort.

In recent years, jika-tabi have been seen in some Hollywood movie and television productions. Examples include The Wolverine, 47 Ronin, Big Hero 6, Star Trek, Thor: The Dark World, Ahsoka (TV series), The Mandalorian, and Black Panther. Jika-tabi have also been seen in the short movie Anima from Thom Yorke (2019).[11]

The gist of the report was that an angler from St. Louis was using a jika rig, as well as one of the standard Midwest finesse rigs, to inveigle an impressive array of largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass from the confines of Table Rock Lake, which is King's home waterway.

This St. Louis angler noted that he had fished from July 4 to July 8, and his most fruitful jika rig was dressed with Zoom Bait Company's Brush Hog. In his report, he marveled at the way the jika rig and Brush Hog could be retrieved through the labyrinth of boulders, brush, trees and other obstacles that stipple the floor of Table Rock without becoming snagged. He found it to be more effective and efficient than the traditional Texas-rigged soft-plastic bait and slip-sinker rig. What's more, he was impressed with how easily he could cast it and its "free floating type action" during the retrieve.

For the past several years, King has become a Midwest finesse devotee, but he hadn't crossed paths with the jika rig until he read the St. Louis angler's report on the Finesse News Network. But soon after he read that report, he began doing some research about the origins of jika rig. He quickly found that its origins are Japanese.

They also told him that jika means direct in Japanese. The Fukaes suspected that its name was derived from the fact that the sinker is attached with split rings directly to hook, which is different from the way a sinker is attached to a leader below the hook on a drop-shot rig.

Even though Fukae says that the jika rig is different than a drop-shot rig, because the sinker of the jika rig is next to the hook, it is necessary to note that there are times when Aaron Martens of Leeds, Alabama, who is often touted as being one of the finest drop-shot angler in the tournament world, occasionally affixes the sinker on his drop-shot rig next to or near the eye of the hook, and this is especially true when Martens is fishing during the pre-spawn and spawning seasons.

As King began accumulating more and more information about the jika rig, he also started making them and catching significant numbers of largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass on them at Table Rock Lake. It didn't take many days of wielding it before he became addicted to the jika rig's manifold merits. To this day, he is learning and more and more about them, and he continues to make subtle refinements in the ways that he assembles, dresses and fishes his jika rigs.

He has constructed a few jika rigs with small offset-shank hooks and lightweight sinkers that can be dressed with various soft-plastic finesse baits that should strike the fancy of many Midwest finesse anglers. But the bulk of King's jika creations and endeavors revolve around power-fishing tactics.

The infrastructure of King's jika rigs is composed of two split rigs, a sinker, and an offset-shank hook. For King's power applications, his jika rigs consist of two Bass Pro Shops' Offshore Split Rings, which are made of 1-X heavy-duty stainless steel. He attaches a No.3 split ring to the eye of the hook. To the No. 3 split ring, he attaches a No. 1 split ring. To the No. l split ring, King attaches a sinker.

He has dressed the hooks with a variety of soft-plastic baits, such as worms, five- and six-inch Senko-style baits, six-inch lizards, six-inch creature baits and four-inch beaver-style baits. One of his day in and day out favorites is a 4 -inch Bass Pro Shops' River Bug, which is a beaver-style bait. Kings says that the jika rig's dressing options are virtually limitless.

In King's eyes, the jika rig makes all of his soft-plastic baits appear livelier than they are when he affixes them on conventional bass rigs. The configuration and assembly of the jika rig allows the hook and soft-plastic bait to move alluringly in a variety of directions. On slack line, the sinker allows the rig to plummet straight to the bottom. And the way the sinker is attached also helps the entire rig to easily penetrate aquatic vegetation, such as coontail, various cabbage plants, milfoil, cabomba, curly-leaf pondweed and bushy pondweed.

When King wields a jika rig in its power motif, he works with a seven-foot, heavy-power, extra-fast-action Bass Pro Shops' CarbonLite Micro Guide Rod that is fitted with a Bass Pro Shops' Johnny Morris Signature Series Baitcast Reel with a 6:4.1 gear ratio. The reel is spooled with XPS fluorocarbon line. In crystal clear and relatively snag free environs, King works with 14-pound-test line, but most of the time, he uses 17-pound-test line.

When he is plying a half-ounce jika rig around flooded cedar and hardwood trees on flat gravel points at Table Rock, he executes relatively short casts. King says short casts are essentially when he is presenting the jika rig around and in flooded trees. When he is casting to and around trees that lie in 12 to 14 feet of water, he pulls three four-foot sections of line off the spool of his reel as soon as the rig hits the lake's surface. This allows the rig to plummet straight to the bottom on a slack line. If he is probing deeper lairs, he will pull as many as five four-foot sections of line from the spool of his reel.

He notes that most of the largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass that he allures with the jika rig are on or near the bottom, but the rig will occasionally elicit a strike as it falls towards the bottom. Once the jika rig reaches the bottom, he commences the retrieve by slowly lifting his rod from about the three o'clock position to the two o'clock position. And at times, he will lift the rod to the one o'clock position. During the lift, he will subtly shake his rod, and on some lifts, he will shake the rod incessantly. Once his rod reaches the apex of the lift, he slowly drops rod back to the three o'clock position and begins the lift and shake routine, which he does time after time until the rig is out of the area that he is focusing upon. Besides retrieving the jika rig across the gravel bottom, he also retrieves it up and through some of the flooded timber that the rig encounters. As he retrieves the rig in a tree, he continues to use the three-to-two o'clock routine. Even though he elicits most of his strikes along the bottom, there have been scores of times when he has extracted goodly numbers of Table Rock's largemouth, smallmouth and spotted from inside these flooded trees.

When King focuses on underwater terrains that are embellished with a ledge or two and devoid of flooded timber, he makes long casts, ranging from 60 to 100 feet in length He retrieves the jika rig by either dragging and shaking it or executing a hop-and-bounce motif that is punctuated with shakes. He also slowly swims and shakes it, allowing it to travel a few inches off the bottom along these ledge-laden terrains.

At times, Table Rock's spotted bass, as well as some its largemouth and smallmouth bass, are suspended in deep water. Many anglers employ a spoon or drop-shot rig with a vertical presentation to allure these deep-water suspended bass. King discovered in July and August that a vertical presentation of the jika rig can allure goodly number of the deep-water suspended bass too. Therefore, when one of King's sonar devices pinpoints the whereabouts of a deep-water suspended bass, he merely drops his jika rig vertically to the appropriate depth, and then he attempts to coax that bass into inhaling the jika rigs.

In late August, King and a cameraman with "The Bass Pros" television show traveled to a 1,000-acre flatland reservoir in northern Missouri to create a TV show segment about how to use a jika rig and catch largemouth bass that are suspended in relatively shallow water around flooded timber, buried inside patches of coontail and abiding along riprap shorelines. To King and the cameraman's delight, the jika rig quickly and consistently bewitched scores of largemouth bass, and several of the specimens were lunkers. e24fc04721
