Buy Neko and Wacky hooks
With a good one
Neko or Wacky hook present a softbaits in a subtle and natural way. With both techniques, the hook is usually placed through the center or just off the center of a worm-shaped softbait. This allows both ends to move freely in the water, creating a seductive action with minimal movement.
In this collection you will find
Neko crochet and Wacky crochet for targeted fishing for bass and zander, among others. These compact, sharp hooks are suitable for various finesse presentations and provide a good hook without limiting the action of the softbait.
What is the difference between a Neko Rig and Wacky Rig?
With a Wacky Rig, the softbaits is fished without extra weight or with a slightly weighted hook. The softbaits slowly sinks and wobbles down seductively. This technique is particularly effective when predatory fish are passive or when you want to fish shallow.
With a Neko Rig, a weight is placed in one end of the softbaits. This causes the bait to sink head first, while the other end continues to move freely. For this you can use our
nail sinkers to use. By adjusting the weight, you determine how quickly the mounting drops.
Which hook do you use for the Neko and Wacky Rig?
Choose a hook size that suits the length and thickness of your softbait. Compact hooks are suitable for smaller finesse worms, while a larger or thicker softbaits requires a slightly larger hook. A popular example is the
Gamakatsu Worm 318 Wacky Hook, which is specifically designed for Wacky presentations and can also be used for various dropshot montages.
Attach the hook directly through the softbaits or use an O-ring to reduce damage to the lure. Combine your hook with a suitable worm or creature bait, such as the
Keitech Neco Camaron, and put together an effective Neko or Wacky Rig yourself.
