First developed among bass finesse anglers in Japan, the Neko Rig is essentially just a weighted version of a Wacky Rig with a weight inserted into just one end of the soft plastic, giving the bait a unique action as it descends through the water column and a unique "stand-up-on-the-bottom" presentation that combines features of the Wacky Rig, Ned Rig, and a shakey head jig.
To create a Neko Rig, start with a wacky rigged version of your favorite soft plastic stick bait or worm, then insert a weight such as a small metal nail, screw, or specialized lead or tungsten Neko Rig weight in the end. It's as simple as that.
By inserting a nail weight in one end, the Neko Rig falls faster with a crazy darting and gliding action. Once on the bottom, the weighted end hops along the bottom structure while the unweighted end dances around producing strike-inducing action from finicky fish.
When throwing the Neko Rig, cast it out and watch your line on the way down. Give the line a little shake as the bait is getting near the bottom. If the bait makes it to the bottom without getting hit, give it some easy shakes on a semi-slack line. Then let it settle back down to the bottom and repeat the process until a fish takes your presentation.

View full detailsThe colours are amazing, the skirt keeps moving around though and I got 2 jigs one in black and blue one and the other as shown in the picture. They both had the rattle break within the first few uses, but still a nice jig
One amazing lure. Have caught some monsters. Using these baits. Great big bass catcher.
i caught so many fish with the 17mr i lost count this is a excellent lure.
But a Whopper Plopper from Discount Tackle. Product didn't arrive (not their fault) so I contacted them. They were super fast in resolving my issue by sending me a new lure. Super recommended.
Cheers
I have had great results with the joy stick. It works well on a drop shot or a shakey head, and can wackey rigged as well. I think the rabbit ears add to the presentation and the donkey sauce scent draws them in. The only negative is the durability, they only last 2 or 3 bites before tearing.
