What's a viper rig?

I've seen it on YouTube, the hook spins in the mouth

Ok. I had a look at it and it did remind me of the following from a decade back.

Proves he didn't think this up his self then, improved it and claimed it as his own , and made a little business out of it

May I ask. What size and type of bait?, and what size fish?

It was a 15mm Nash pineapple I'm not one for weighing my fish as I like to take a photo ( for the wife😁 ) and put it straight back in. I'm 67 and not very good with phones so I'll ask my wife if she can put the photo on to show you and also the hook hold

I don't mean to be nosy , just intrigued. What length hair. When I said what type of bait, I meant bottom or wafter, or pop up. Not manufacture. This is a new rig to me, so eager to learn. Size of fish is not really important. Just trying to gauge size of mouth in relation to hook and bait size.
