How To Fish a Neko Rig for Bass | Neko Rig Basics 101

Спорт

Sometimes bass can get in a weird mood and refuse to chase moving baits like a spinnerbait, crankbait, or chatterbait. Instead of giving up on these bass, I've found a new retrieve with a popular rig to trick inactive largemouth, spotted, and smallmouth bass into biting. Hope you enjoy!

    I've said it before this kid is the hardest working man in industry. Always working for something that's different to catch today's pressured fish. 40 plus years on water tells me this technique will work!

    I like the rationale for using the longer leader - for protecting the knot and accounting for breakoffs.

    I have been using the VMC bands and pliers and they allow the hook to be in the proper position for wacky or Neko and allows for a better hook up and less missed fish. Great video I will be putting this to good use👍😎❤️🎣

    Ive been watching this channel trying to improve my offshore game for the past few years. This past weekend, I decided to try an obscure brushpile I found when the lake was drawn down, literally held together with twine and a brick. Threw a Neko rigged Senko into it, very first cast, I saw a big blob on my Livescope come out and absolutely inhale it, a nice solid four.

    I like those weedles hooks & will definitely be trying those hooks & to swim them both through different depths. I've been fishing neko & wacky rigs couple years now & have put alot of fish in the kayak.but haven't tried swimming them before. I mostly use 8 & 10 lb floro. I still haven't learned the FG knot, I just use uni to uni but I haven't ever had my uni connection knot fail yet so I've been happy with it & it's quick & easy too. I'll put 2 cast lengths of floro on & just use braid as a backer to save $ on floro always good to try new things & see what other guys come up with. .

    Great video as always. I have been watching your videos for several years now and they are really helpful. Keep up the good work. For the past year and a half to two years I have notice you are wearing a wedding ring, will you be making any videos with your better half? I also would like your thoughts on Navionics vs Lake Master SD cards for fish finders. I have two Hummingbird Helix 7 Gen 2's on my boat. Both units came with a free Navionics SD Card and was wordering what your thoughts were on comparing the two.

    As always Jonny, really great info! In the past and in your websites “rod guide” you are opposed to micro guides on fishing rods. Do you find the guides acceptable on the Denali line of rods in both spinning and casting? Thanks again for a great channel.

    None of the Denali rods I use in my videos have micro guides. Some of the guides are kind of in between micro guides and normal guides, but still big enough to let a leader knot go through without any issues. I wouldn't use them if they had micro guides haha.

    What is the difference between the Neko and a flick shake? I understand that on a Neko you can go to smaller weights like 1/3 of a 3/32 weight like you talked about. Other than that I don’t understand the difference. Thank you. Love your channel. Best on KZread. Hands down.
