padding-left: 40px;\">What we do know<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">We know the Neko rig originated in Japan and it\u2019s a finesse worm tactic that works best with light tackle spinning gear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">We know it has been used on the west coast, in southern California for finessing lure-shy lunker bass for over a decade now, and it\u2019s a tournament tactic that taciturn western pros use on the Elites and Tour events, but they say very little about it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">We also know that nail weights for plastic worms have been out for decades. The Neko rig technique does involve nail weights \u2013 but there\u2019s a lot more to it than that.<br \/>\nInterested to learn more?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">At the turn of the century, the late 1990s to early 2000s, this technique began gaining popularity throughout Japan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">Haruhiko Murakami, a legendary lure designer in Japan originally developed and advanced this technique throughout the Japanese bass industry by adding tungsten nail sinkers to the heads of soft plastic finesse worms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">Murakami coined the rig\u2019s name from the phrase \u201cNeko-sogi\u201d which literally means \u201cthe rig that catches all the fish like a vacuum cleaner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">The lure concept he envisioned for the Neko rig was simple yet brilliant: to develop a weighted wacky worm rig that can be hopped or dragged along the bottom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">The hook is inserted wacky style in the plastic worm\u2019s midsection but since the nail weight is inserted in the head of the worm, this set-up falls headfirst at a much quicker rate than a wacky jighead of the same weight rigged in the center of a worm.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">Murakami wanted the head of the worm to rest or drag on the bottom while the rest of the worm pointed upward naturally off the bottom, thus allowing the worm to be snagless, especially when rigged with a wacky style hook with a wire or light filament weedguard. On open bottom, an exposed wacky style hook works as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-78306\" title=\"5688715\" src=\"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/5688715.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/5688715.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/5688715-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/5688715-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/5688715-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/5688715-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/5688715-747x420.jpg 747w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>In a Bassmaster tournament in which fish were hard to find, they were even harder to keep hooked. Angler after angler told tales of woe on the weigh-in stage of feisty, hard-fighting Lake Oahe smallmouth coming unbuttoned before coming in the boat. But Jacob Wheeler had no such hard-luck stories. He was drop-shotting with a new VMC\u00ae Neko\u2122 Hook prototype.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cI lost one bass all week, and I caught a hundred-plus smallmouth,\u201d says Wheeler, who finished 7th in the Bassmaster Elite tournament in South Dakota, ahead of 101 of the best bass fishermen in the world, many of whom didn\u2019t catch a 5-bass limit on one or more days. \u201cA lot of people lost quite a few fish this week. You know how smallmouth are \u2013 they were jumping, they were running, they were going crazy. But with these new Neko Hooks, I didn\u2019t have to worry about those fish going crazy and jumping off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">Neko Hooks feature a black-nickel finish, wide gap, 3-degree offset point, resin-closed eye and a forged, long shank. VMC, a Rapla Respected Brand, created the Neko Hook initially as a key component for Neko Rigging, a modern take on traditional nail rigging. But Rapala pros soon began using it as their go-to hook for wacky rigging and drop-shotting as well, touting a landing-percentage advantage that borders on ludicrous.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cNeko Hooks have got the most unbelievable hook-to-land ratio of any hook I\u2019ve ever fished,\u201d says fellow Rapala pro Michael \u201cIke\u201d Iaconelli. \u201cThe shape of the Neko style \u2013 that particular bend of the hook \u2013 once you hook one, you\u2019ll land that fish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">Wheeler enthusiastically agrees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cThat bend on that hook, and the offset, and the diameter, it has everything you want in a hook,\u201d he explains. \u201cI\u2019ve lost a lot of big smallmouth in my day, before Neko Hooks came out. So if I can throw that Neko Hook in anything I\u2019m doing, I\u2019m going to. Absolutely 110 percent I\u2019m going to try to keep it in the game. Because I feel like when I get that bite, I\u2019m going to make it count. That fish is coming in the boat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">Wheeler\u2019s drop-shot set-up comprised a main line of 8-pound test Sufix\u00ae NanoBraid\u00ae, a leader of 10- and 6-pound test Sufix Castable Invisiline\u2122 100% Fluorocarbon, a \u00bd oz. VMC Tungsten Drop Shot Cylinder Weight, a 3-inch soft-plastic stick-bait and a prototype of the Neko Hook not yet available for sale, the Finesse Neko Hook.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cThat hook is no doubt, by far, the best hook for finesse tactics ever made,\u201d Wheeler says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">Finesse Neko Hooks include all the design components that make original Neko Hooks so successful, plus additional features bass anglers will love. They will be available in four sizes: 2, 1, 1\/0 and 2\/0. Additional details will remain top secret until mid-July, when Finesse Neko Hooks will be officially unveiled at ICAST, the sportfishing industry\u2019s largest trade show. Keep an eye out here for more information.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cI was actually threading a little 3-inch stick-worm on the Finesse Neko Hook, which will be new next year,\u201d Wheeler says. \u201cBy doing that on Oahe, when the fish were just nipping it, I would hook all of them. That was a huge key.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/category\/bass-fishig-pattern\/hook\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38659\" src=\"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/hooks.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1068\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/hooks.png 640w, https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/hooks-300x63.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u4eca\u73fe\u5728\u306e \u30a2\u30e1\u30ea\u30ab\u30d0\u30b9\u30d5\u30a3\u30c3\u30b7\u30f3\u30b0 \u5e02\u5834\u3067\u691c\u7d22\u3055\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b\u30ef\u30fc\u30c9\u30e9\u30f3\u30ad\u30f3\u30b0\u3067\u5e38\u306b\u4e0a\u4f4d\u306b \u30cd\u30b3\u30ea\u30b0 \u3068\u3044\u3046\u30ef\u30fc\u30c9\u304c\u30e9\u30f3\u30af\u30a4\u30f3\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3002\u3053\u3053\u8fd1\u5e74\u3001\u30a2\u30e1\u30ea\u30ab\u3067\u306f\u7206\u767a\u7684\u306b\u4eba\u6c17\u306e\u51fa\u3066\u3044\u308b\u30ea\u30b0\u3068\u306a\u308b\u3002\u3054\u5b58\u77e5 \u30cd\u30b3\u30ea\u30b0\u306f &#8217; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":78289,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2880,22,450],"tags":[19972,350,367],"class_list":{"0":"post-78286","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hook","8":"category-shinseihin-no-shoukai-gaikoku","9":"category-bass-fishing-gyoukai-news","10":"tag-icast2018","11":"tag-350","12":"tag-367"},"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/nekorig.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5FCRd-kmG","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bewaf.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
