Best Neko Rig Weight

Lonnie Bloom reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Neko Rigs technique and VMC Neko Weight on Lake Minnetonka. Additional comments from this report: "Ran several different sections of docks during my last derb on Tonka, almost exclusively threw a Neko rig at them. Finding the docks with tips in 10fow or deeper proved the best for size provided there was good milfoil present near the end or underneath the dock. It worked well as a means to cover water quickly, skipping it up under each dock from 3 different angles as we rolled up to, in front of, and past, and then moving onto the next one. Dead paused on semi slack line and then dragging it maybe 3-4" and then pausing it again, hopping did not provide the same number of bites. If it didn't get eaten after that second pause, reel in and do it again. Kick up the trolling motor speed and burn em, doubling back and hitting them from the other direction produced more bite as well. "

Great day on the water. We were fishing our summer spots like weedlines in 15 ft throwing neko rigs and Texas rigs. The bigger fish seemed to be on the steep banks and were slaming the money jig and xzone combo. The xzone lures (see hot bait) have a tail that goes straight up so paired with a money jig (see recommended) is a magnet for big bass in the summer months. Hope this helps you guys. Catch em up
