At 81yrs I've learned don't waste your money on other brands, only buy Yamamoto lures.

We should all meet up and fish sometime. Id love to get a nice circle jerk going with you guys

I use a extra large scewlock and the mustad 91768 jig hook 1/0 for the 2.5 and 4/0 for the 3.5.When the head of the bait tears out i just melt it shut by melting over a candle and my final tip is if you get the tail bit off use a small srewlock swivel and small willow or Colorado blade and screw into where tail was

How many blades do you use this way? I can’t imagine they stay in that plastic long, or at all if you catch a fish.

Screw lock on a 4/0. When the screw pulls a small plug out, have more 4/0 hooks with over size screw locks by VMC to fill the hole and grab material. This guarantees me two fish per bait.

No problem man! Thanks for watching! Since posting this video I discovered that they actually make an EWG hook with a bait keeper that MIGHT help or MIGHT make it worse.

Awesome tips 💯🤝🏼. Try this if you ever get a chance Lucas, i use a Dr slick brass bobbin threader, and some old jig skirting, and put that through the bait, and its nice 🙂. I use to do it to stickbaits but this is got the perfect body for this modification😊.

The O-Ring is probably my favorite of all of the tips. However, I plan on rigging it Ned style like you did as well. That is…if I ever fish again. 😂

I just picked up the 2.5" & 3.5" at the local Dicks sporting goods for about $5.75 a pack. I fish pennsylvania & new jersey, and i feel like i catch more on the 2.5" texas rigged, no weight hook only.

Always been the down side of the Yamamoto baits, expensive, and they aren't very durable at all. I do really like that O ring idea! That has to be the best "hack" I've seen. Gotta make them things last any way you can. Thanks for the shout out homie! I hope you enjoy those Magnum Neds!

A lighter is something I need to add to my tackle. I have bags of o rings but I can see where a lighter would be handy

You super glue the bait to the Ned head. When Texas rigs super glue, the front tip let dry, then run your hook through it. Super glue it wear it tears, super glue it to all lead head. Did I say SUPER GLUE

Screw lock hook!!!! The O ring makes it look horrible lol and also puts weight on the nose yoi dont want when rigging weightless you want the bait to be equal so it flows down horizontal as it was meant to do. Ways to repair is easy, mend it when out fishing and use actual plastisol when at home. Just buy a small amount of good clear soft mixture plastisol (soft plastic making plastic) microwave he plastisol as directed, stir then just quickly dip just the nose of the yamatanuki in the plastic to create a new thin layer plus melt the existing plastic back together. Youll save a bunch over time becuase you can also do that trick on any soft plastics the nose gets torn on.
