To rig a Neko rig, choose a straight tail worm or stick bait. Insert a nail weight in the head and use a weedless or exposed hook, pointing the hook towards the tail. This finesse technique works well in pressured waters. For a Ned rig, follow the same steps with a soft plastic. Drag or hop it for optimal engagement.
Once rigged, both techniques require a slow, steady retrieve. This mimics the movement of prey, enticing bass effectively. Utilize light lines and spinning gear for better sensitivity and control. Fishing in shallow waters or areas near cover boosts the chances of attracting bass.
With a solid foundation in Ned and Neko rigs established, anglers can explore various fishing environments and techniques. Next, we will delve into the best conditions and locations for utilizing these effective rigging methods to maximize catches.
