VMC Neko Hook
$3.99 – $12.99

Cedar Lake (76) (MN)

Reported by
Bart
Lower Prior Lake (MN)
Bart reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Neko Rigs technique and VMC Neko Hook on Lower Prior Lake. Additional comments from this report: "The bite on Prior Lake this year has been MAJOR hot or cold. If you hit them right, they've been eating really well around bluegill beds in 8 - 14 ft of water. A Neko Rig has been a really effective way to get them to bite with a lot of pressure and boat traffic on the lake. A jig worm with a 7" ribbontail worm as also been good."

Lake Minnewashta (MN)
Jackson Smith reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Neko Rigs technique and VMC Neko Hook on Lake Minnewashta. Additional comments from this report: "The big bass were chewing today! Caught 6 over 4 lbs and a bunch over 3. The fish were stacked up on steep drop offs from 2-5 ft to 10-12. Casting the Neko and wacky along the drop off was producing a lot and the wacky produced more as the sun got higher. Hope this helps. "
VMC Weedless Neko Hook
$5.99

Reported by
Tim Blase
Coon Lake (MN)
When Coon is going it's a really fun lake to fish. You have to move around a lot and try different things to see what is working. In the summer I will typically start on offshore points keying on rock transitions. I have had my best success with neko rigs. Z-Man product have been good for me this year a neko rig. If the off shore stuff is not working I will pick up a frog and try to cover water till I run into them.

I used a couple quick jerks to keep the bait high until I crossed the reed edge, then let the bait fall skimming the tops of the weeds until about half way back to the boat. this method out produced every other tactic I worked that day."

Additional comments from this report: "Pitched the neko rig near a dock by a pontoon boat….5mm Vmc rings are a little big I believe for the janitor…lost a few that slipped out of that size so I will try the 4mm size next time out, basically let it sink to the bottom and twitched a few times and paused then did a few lift and drops….both actions worked…caught 3 today on the neko…5-6 on jackhammers, 1 drop shot and a couple on wacky"

Michael Rekas reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Neko Rigs technique and VMC Neko Hook on Cedar Lake (76). Additional comments from this report: "Flipping/casting a heavier Neko rig around the outside of dying pads produced good bites. Work the Neko rig slowly back to the bank hopping and dragging it. Let the fish eat, then just lean into them. If you set too quick you will miss a lot of fish. Good luck"
