ALL DAY. EVERY DAY.
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 detailsNice small pond or creek mini chatterbait. I’ve caught a lot of fish using this series.
This color works great with your bruised Green pumpkin and black and blues. Or fish these on their own and the fish eat it up!
Love these chatterbaits, you must buy you some, and I love doing business with Discount Tackle, everything that I have ordered from them always shows up before predicted delivery date and in perfect condition. I will buy more from them in the future, thanks Discount Tackle.
When I first tried these i thought they were nothing special but have become one of my go- to ned/neko baits. This has been the same with alot of the other Xzone baits as well craws/swimbaits etc. Ive have done great with all of them
