Well, let me tell ya, I been fishin’ fer a long time, but this here neko rig fishing is somethin’ new to me. I ain’t never seen nothin’ like it before, but it works! Now, the way this works is real simple, just like puttin’ a worm on a hook, but with a twist. You see, you got a weight that you stick inside one end of your soft plastic worm. It makes the worm do a little wiggle, almost like it’s alive. That wiggle, oh lordy, the fish just can’t resist it!
Now, the trick to the neko rig is that weight. You can’t just stick it anywhere. You gotta put it at the head of the worm or the tail, dependin’ on what kinda bite you’re after. That weight helps it sink slow and steady, so them fish don’t get suspicious. They see that worm floatin’ down all natural like, and then BAM! They grab it before they know what hit ’em.
When you rig it up, just grab a worm of your choice—anything that looks good to you. Ain’t no fancy rules here. I reckon I use whatever’s in my tackle box that day. Stick that weight in the right end, and hook it through the middle just like you would any ol’ soft plastic. Simple, ain’t it?
Some folks, they swear by the neko rig for bass fishin’, especially in shallow waters or around rocks where them bass like to hide. You gotta be patient, though, fishin’ with a neko rig ain’t all about fast action. You gotta let it sink slow, and then give it a little twitch, just enough to make that worm do a lil’ dance. That’s what gets ‘em!
Now, I know some of ya might be thinkin’, “What makes this rig so special?” Well, it’s the weight placement, that’s the big deal. You don’t see that in other rigs, and it makes the bait behave different. Makes it fall to the bottom just right. Some folks use a wacky rig and think it’s all good, but when you use that weight in the neko rig, it makes a world of difference. That worm don’t just flop around, it moves all controlled like.
Don’t get too fancy with it, though. Keep it simple. All you need is your trusty worm, some weights, and a hook. You can find them weights at just about any ol’ fishing store or even online if you can’t find ‘em near you. Just make sure you don’t skimp on the quality, though, or you might end up with a busted line or a lost fish!
What’s important is that you learn to feel the bite. With the neko rig, you’re not just reel’in’ it in all quick-like. Nah, you gotta pay attention to every little tug, every shift in the line. Sometimes, them fish ain’t gonna pull hard. It’s all in how you feel it. Once you know, you’ll never look at fishin’ the same.
And lemme tell ya, don’t be afraid to experiment. Some days, I’ll be usin’ one color worm, and other days, it’s a whole different one. It’s all about what works that day. Sometimes, the fish just want something different. If the bass ain’t biting, try a different size or color. It ain’t no shame in switching things up.
Another good thing about the neko rig is it’s real good for fishin’ in places where there’s a lotta cover. Like, if you’re tryin’ to fish near rocks or in weeds, this rig helps keep the bait nice and steady. It won’t get tangled as easily, and them fish just can’t resist a nice slow drop right in front of ‘em.
So, if you ain’t tried it yet, give it a go. The neko rig ain’t hard to learn, and it works like a charm. Just remember to be patient, let your bait sink, twitch it a little, and wait for that tug. And if ya need somethin’ to help you get started, there’s always good folks at the fishin’ shops or online who can hook you up with the right tools.
