Tried the Neko rig for the first time today, yesterday now. Fishing a public fishing area in east central GA. First cast tap tap caught one, third cast again. Fifth cast I got hammered, I was so excited I snatched it away from the bass when I set the hook. Caught several more before leaving. This in a place that gets pressure almost every day. Thanks Gene your videos are the best, yes I do watch others but I come back to yours for the how to part. Your video on drop shot showed what I was doing wrong when I tried to rig it up, no body else explains these tips like you do. Thanks man and keep up the GREAT work.
Gene is hands down the very best fishing TH-camr. He sticks to the roots. FISHING!! AND TEACHING THE WORLD TO FISH!! not TH-cam reality t.v.
Agree
@@jamesleary1405 same! and he don't talk branded tackle all day he just talks rigs, gear, finding fish, retrieving... the building blocks and you WILL catch fish.
i went 1/8 catching a fish my first times out this summer (and hadn't fished in about 5 years due to my location in Brooklyn... used to live in Georgia). then found this channel and started studying and reading more and since then have gone 8/10. Not always big ones, but got one real big bass. I'm catching fish its crazy.
@@yateswebb That's why I commented I agree! I've been a bass fisherman for over 30 and still enjoy watching.
@@jamesleary1405 nice! it's been fun getting back into it. Definitely a lot to learn :)
I never knew there was a proper name for this!! Lead core solder for the weight is what i was taught. A small spool goes a long way.
Gene: I have watched a lot of your videos, even learned the FG knot from you and the salt guys. I just want to thank you for taking the mystery out of rigging baits and techniques for fishing them. By the way, congratulations on going full time with your fishing career.
Thanks Brother
Gene, great work on all of your videos. You actually teach. And it is much appreciated. Thank you!!
I like the science part behind it. Things or areas to look for fish this time of year.
Excellent video mate I like the no nonsense approach how to rig the lure and where and when to fish it etc I live in the UK and we adopt a lot of different techniques from around the world for our big perch fishing. Thanks
thankyou soo much Flukemaster, ur are one of the "better/more informative youtubers out of the "group" u gave me a ton of confidence to start my own channel last month, thanks soo much for all the videos and tips Fluke
First time I have ever heard of the Neko rig. Thanks Fluke!!!!
Anytime I want to find out how to use a rig or anything I type it in on TH-cam and always look for your videos first! Thanks for teaching us bud
Gene I have to agree with how you rig the hook into the bait more than anyone else I've seen. I feel like just getting the normal o ring or skin hook, the hook point is burying into the bait when setting the hook if they are deep or close to the boat. I was trying to do a sweep hookset until I started rigging them like you do. Now I feel like I can set the hook in either direction with a great hookup percent. Thanks for the great vid!
GREAT video Gene good info that has merit to it and you prove that it works. I look forward to a another tournament video soon.
Great information. I don't freshwater fish as often as I could so these types of rigs are a little foreign to me so it is good to see how to use them when I do have the chance.
Very very good info Gene. I've been wearing out the drop shot this summer here in Texas, excited to try this method now.
This is why I love TH-cam. Great info!!!!!
ok, I will continue to try till I get it, I appreciate the fast response, u the man fluke keep it up, love ur stuff
I have never tried the Neko Rig yet. Very instructional. Definitely want to give it a try. Tight lines!
leo!!
Mark Rehfeld Mark!!! :)
Extreme Philly Fishing it's great isn't it I caught my pb on it
I love your videos
Extreme Philly Fishing with the best of all
this was one of the techniques that was show cased at bass pro 2nd tues of the month seminar the other was big swimbaits ..as always good stuff
Good video. I've been wanting to try this technique. I been using the Ned Rig all summer so I try this one.
About to try my luck with this. Thanks for the info. Like the wiley x shades. Just upgraded my lenses. Favorite fishing glasses now
Good vid I've been interested in this rig for a while. Thanks, keep it up!
2:28 That's funny you say that because I've had the exact opposite results. I only use palomar knots with fluoro because it seems like improved clinch always breaks when tightening the knot down.
Great channel, man. Just hopped on board today - love the knowledge.
Watching from New Zealand. We have been using gulp 4 and 5 inch gulp softbaits for sea fishing. We use similar tackle. But I use 10lb fireline braid with 20lb fluorocarbon. We're just starting to use these worms, whole new world. Thanks
Love doing this technique with a senko! awesome vid Gene!
Very informative video! I'll have to try that when the bite is tough
Good vid. Informative as always. Thanks
I liked the really zoomed in look when you were rigging it a lot of youtubers don't do that.
I love it when she take it in deep. lol
on a more serious note I like tip of heating up the weight so it goes into the worm easier and then molds itself.
great vid bud love the f g knot all I tie for finesse and those hard bites and I learned it here on your channel 👍
Never really liked fishing the worm but liking this technique and will definitely give it a try.....thanks
awesome video gene been waiting on a good neko rig vid!
great video as usual Gene, i was just sitting here thinking which rig to try out this weekend since the temps here in NC are 90+ dropshot and ill switch my wacky to the neko, got plenty of nail screw around.
great video you taught me a lot of things in the past few videos
I have got to try out the Neko rig in the morning with the Zman turbo craw. Should be wicked.
👍 vid I finally learned the neko rig thanks man
Great videos. Luv the tutorials,, quick question of topic what shades are you wearing....
Very helpful, thank you!
what are some of the best rigs for bank fishing (rocky area)? I normally fish around boat docs or at the dam. Don't have any ponds around.
The only thing I ever Neko rig is a Biospawn Exostick like Jon B. had in his Neko rig video.. Great video
Hey I'm new to your channel and i just wanted to say your videos are very institutional and help me out a lot!
Thank you
I really enjoy your videos. Have learned a lot over the last few months of viewing them. Thanks for another idea of things to throw on a tough day on the water. Great video. I was wondering if you could show some underwater footage of some of the rigs you use like this one, that way I would know exactly how to mimic the bait. I always try to view how my lure looks next to the boat or in shallow water. Thanks.
I would love to. I just need to find a clear water lake around here.
Gene your videos are great! I'm from Ontario, Canada.. I lost a 2lb largemouth yesterday at the boat.. Can you do a video on setting the hook and how to get more fish in the boat? I was using a weed less wacky rigged senko.. Thanks for the help!
I tried this rig and i didnt have the things to do it so i put a chomper hook on a zoom trick worm and caught a 3lb bass! 😂 thx man for the idea
Would it be a bigger hook set if it one of the seedless wacky rig with the guard under the point or not really
Fish don’t care about line!!! Great video!!!
Another great video Gene. Just a note on gut hooking. I use a gamakatsu shiner hook and it reduces gut hooking, for me anyway when wacky/neko rigging
+whitechin99 that's basically what this hook is only much smaller.
I wonder how a 6 inch curl tail worm would look on it. I might need to try that out.
Great video gene
I just bought hooks in the 1/0 size being the titanx wacky/neko hook by mustad and after seeing them they seem huge. What size baits would be good for this size hook
When i use a wacky neco rig i use 2 o rings and criss cross them. Then i put my hook under the o rings. This put the hook 90 degrees to the worm. Seems to work for me.
nice videos buddy, I noticed in a couple of videos you use a 6lb lead line and my question is about setting the drag on the spinning reel? have you made any videos on how to set the drag?
The way you have the hook I always hook them bottom lip...I flipped it and it hits upper leg now but too many bluegills tear up the worm.
What is your opinion on NanoFil from Berkley? I use 14lb test on my spinning setup and 6 to 8lb fluorocarbon leader when going finesse. NanoFil flies off the spool so smooth.
awesome video gene
Thanks, that was interesting. And yeah, gut hook sets suck lol. Makes a messy release, but at least I have a utility boat so I don't care about them bleeding all over.
What kind of reel is on that pool. I'm looking to buy a medium light finesse rod and reel. what setup is that that you're using or do you have any suggestions
What is the exact name and style of that hook? I love how you hooked the worm with it!
Nice content brother just subscribed 👍🏻
What are your favorite size of O-ring VS worm diameter do you use?
What size worm weights are you using like 1/4 oz?
Can you use a cut off 6 or 8 penny nail for the weight?
Gene, where do you find these screw in type worm weights?
if your not paying attention saying neko rig will catch you off guard.lol thats funny.thanks for all the tips gene
But my parents raised me right. Lol
Very helpful video!!
Thanks Nick
Love your videos and I'm in the market for a new pair of sunglasses. Noticed you are wearing WileyX in this vid? What model? And do you prefer blue mirror or green mirror for fresh water fishing? Thanks.
Do you still use the plasma tails? I haven’t seen you use one in a while. Also what size hook do you recommend and what size weight?
How big are the worm weights used in this video?
good video fyi there are two times that I don't stick my finger in mouth a. when I have fish poo on my finger and b; if I handle lead weight ... lead used to be a nuclear material at one time. .
Love it
Had no idea what that was called but I have been using that same rig for years to catch trout just on a smaller version
What kind of hook did you use in this video?
I'm in Nashville. Would love to fish with you and Chad Hoover some day.
Wondering what purpose the ring serves
Your kids are already in school? I don't go back to school until the end of August. Plus, does the neko rig work on ponds and soft bottoms?
What’s the point of the o-ring if ur still putting the hook in the worm?
I'm confused about how you hook the worm. Since you're burying the hook shank in the worm body, what's the purpose of the o-ring? And I would think you're only going to get one hookup before the hook is torn out of the worm.
For shore fishing at reservoirs, what rig in your opinion has the best action for steep ledges were your line may only be resting on the top of it and your bait is coming up it as you retrieve.
Fish Gone Wild you can use anything that will keep the head of the worm down. I used a heavy gauge staple point I clipped off and it was close to the same action.
good stuff thks
What do you use to edit your videos? Great job!
Since you embedded the hook into the body of the worm, what's the function of the o-ring? By the way, I really like your videos, but usually prefer the shorter ones since I usually have to squeeze it into short spare times.
Great video gene! See ya! Lol
I use steel screws.. screw them in the head of the bait and you're good to go. This is my favorite channel on TH-cam!!
steve g what size of screws?
hey that is my line when I miss a bite.." had to been a bluegill"...guess the bluegill followed the worm and turned into a bass
What was the name of that hook again?
How long was that leader??
Dam bud looks like summer heats hitting you as hard as its hitting me here in FL.
R u using a number 2 or 1 hook
How do you deal with a fish thats swallowed the hook?
if you keep the knot loose on the Palomar while you tie it, you wont get any line burn (as long as you pull your tag end and not your main line to cinch the knot down)
Still one of the best explanations of the Neko and usage. 👌
Where can I buy the orig thing
Why does the O'ring on the worm matter? Strenght?
Have you ever fished the South Carolina side of Hartwell
What does finesse mean in fishing?
you or any of the other guys(Lunkers or jon b) ever coming to southern california?
Nice boat
Hey Gene. What's the benefit of using a worm weight vs a standard nail as my Dad taught me?
Lead is just heavier in a smaller package. This makes it so you can get more weight closer to the end of the worm.
You say that's a med light? It looks like a med. my st croix med light doesn't look that stiff or large.....what type of medium light rod is that? What are the specs. On the rod you have Great video BTW I love always love fishing the nekeo rig
Love the vids...what are your favorite plastics to fish on this rig.
Also is the O ring necessary?
It's not a necessity, but it greatly increases the chances of keeping your bait after a fish hits it.
