Tried the Neko rig for the first time today, yesterday now. Fishing a public fishing area in east central GA. First cast tap tap caught one, third cast again. Fifth cast I got hammered, I was so excited I snatched it away from the bass when I set the hook. Caught several more before leaving. This in a place that gets pressure almost every day. Thanks Gene your videos are the best, yes I do watch others but I come back to yours for the how to part. Your video on drop shot showed what I was doing wrong when I tried to rig it up, no body else explains these tips like you do. Thanks man and keep up the GREAT work.

@BlueRidgeMarine 8 лет назад

Gene: I have watched a lot of your videos, even learned the FG knot from you and the salt guys. I just want to thank you for taking the mystery out of rigging baits and techniques for fishing them. By the way, congratulations on going full time with your fishing career.

I never knew there was a proper name for this!! Lead core solder for the weight is what i was taught. A small spool goes a long way.

@dyakr4368 6 месяцев назад

Anytime I want to find out how to use a rig or anything I type it in on RU-vid and always look for your videos first! Thanks for teaching us bud

@IntrepidFisherman 8 лет назад

Great information. I don't freshwater fish as often as I could so these types of rigs are a little foreign to me so it is good to see how to use them when I do have the chance.

@wootluver 8 лет назад

Very very good info Gene. I've been wearing out the drop shot this summer here in Texas, excited to try this method now.

Excellent video mate I like the no nonsense approach how to rig the lure and where and when to fish it etc I live in the UK and we adopt a lot of different techniques from around the world for our big perch fishing. Thanks

@profishingsniper149 8 лет назад

GREAT video Gene good info that has merit to it and you prove that it works. I look forward to a another tournament video soon.

@dant8213 5 лет назад

Gene I have to agree with how you rig the hook into the bait more than anyone else I've seen. I feel like just getting the normal o ring or skin hook, the hook point is burying into the bait when setting the hook if they are deep or close to the boat. I was trying to do a sweep hookset until I started rigging them like you do. Now I feel like I can set the hook in either direction with a great hookup percent. Thanks for the great vid!

@tinysupreme6417 5 лет назад

2:28 That's funny you say that because I've had the exact opposite results. I only use palomar knots with fluoro because it seems like improved clinch always breaks when tightening the knot down.

i went 1/8 catching a fish my first times out this summer (and hadn't fished in about 5 years due to my location in Brooklyn... used to live in Georgia). then found this channel and started studying and reading more and since then have gone 8/10. Not always big ones, but got one real big bass. I'm catching fish its crazy.

Watching from New Zealand. We have been using gulp 4 and 5 inch gulp softbaits for sea fishing. We use similar tackle. But I use 10lb fireline braid with 20lb fluorocarbon. We're just starting to use these worms, whole new world. Thanks

@derricksadlowski1066 8 лет назад

I really enjoy your videos. Have learned a lot over the last few months of viewing them. Thanks for another idea of things to throw on a tough day on the water. Great video. I was wondering if you could show some underwater footage of some of the rigs you use like this one, that way I would know exactly how to mimic the bait. I always try to view how my lure looks next to the boat or in shallow water. Thanks.

Another great video Gene. Just a note on gut hooking. I use a gamakatsu shiner hook and it reduces gut hooking, for me anyway when wacky/neko rigging

@seanpratley3042 8 лет назад

Would it be a bigger hook set if it one of the seedless wacky rig with the guard under the point or not really

@kentaylor5228 6 лет назад

When i use a wacky neco rig i use 2 o rings and criss cross them. Then i put my hook under the o rings. This put the hook 90 degrees to the worm. Seems to work for me.

@noreastangler3755 8 лет назад

For shore fishing at reservoirs, what rig in your opinion has the best action for steep ledges were your line may only be resting on the top of it and your bait is coming up it as you retrieve.

@jaredwolf1699 7 лет назад

Fish Gone Wild you can use anything that will keep the head of the worm down. I used a heavy gauge staple point I clipped off and it was close to the same action.

@Michigame269 7 лет назад

Love the vids...what are your favorite plastics to fish on this rig. Also is the O ring necessary?

@akira3871 5 лет назад

It's not a necessity, but it greatly increases the chances of keeping your bait after a fish hits it.

@ejpittak 4 года назад

Hey Gene. What's the benefit of using a worm weight vs a standard nail as my Dad taught me?

@Flukemaster 4 года назад

Lead is just heavier in a smaller package. This makes it so you can get more weight closer to the end of the worm.

@caserta909 7 лет назад

if you keep the knot loose on the Palomar while you tie it, you wont get any line burn (as long as you pull your tag end and not your main line to cinch the knot down)

My local lake is full of rocks and debris, so I'm thinking seriously about trying this rig. I'll probably snag anyway, but it couldn't be any worse than using an open hook.

Wondering what purpose the ring serves

@davidmccarty927 4 года назад

Since you embedded the hook into the body of the worm, what's the function of the o-ring? By the way, I really like your videos, but usually prefer the shorter ones since I usually have to squeeze it into short spare times.

@thecastingdeck8148 5 лет назад

What kind of hook did you use in this video?

@bradjohnson4787 8 лет назад

Would a circle hook work with this? I know you'd have to rig it differently but it might keep it from being swallowed a lot.

@jaredwolf1699 7 лет назад

Brad Johnson that's what I started using because I had had no other hooks and they work well rig the same way

@pumbanation2434 7 лет назад

Its okay man! Sometimes we all hook a fish a little too deep. At least we know how to get a hook from a fishes throat going through the bottom gill. it has to be done. But as I was saying, we all feel a little bad after doing that. I was throwing a Jig from the bank into some thick lily pads and I guess the fish just hit my line (probably didn't even go after the jig) and I set the hook right into his eyeball. Because when I slid him out of the water, he came off the jig and he was missing his left eye. I felt bad but there was no blood, just worried about an infection. Fish can still catch food with one eye :) Sorry i had to tell someone about this, I really felt bad haha.
