Love using Shads on Neko rigs. Great explanation and so brilliant innovations. I use nail weights with craws to get them to swim backwards also.

Thanks for the positive comment I appreciate it 👍🏻

[@philiprowe7452]

As usual Thom very informative vid, good stuff 👍

[@theoccasionalangler6956]

Again really good stuff, its like tactical bassin for the uk....

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Ha ha thanks! I love TB watch all their stuff!

[@markdavies8037]

Great tips for a new rig mate. But surely in england those nail weights cannot be lead. As only allowed lead upto no8 shot. Tight lines.

[@Thomhuntfishing]

I think it’s only shot over size 8 banned in lead…. All ledger weights are lead aren’t they?

[@markdavies8037]

Gotcha. I just assumed they were a lead substitute. Ta.

[@garylawlor2288]

I am going to try something similar to the last tip with a Crecraw to fish in under structure.

[@MrMadhouse70]

I have found out that.,, When i fish neko both on the fall or when u take the worm home my big perch hook themself. i Never carry about a tight line. And why they hook themself is becouse i use a Kamasan dropshot hook, the blue one. That hook its very thin. I use nr2. on 4cm or 6cm stickbaits like Bike of bleak or x zone true centerstick. And buy the way, thoose expencive tungsten nails is a waste of money, I use a small screw from the hardware store. or a pappnubb in swedish haha Good video anyway.

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Yep, I know what you mean about the cost of nail weights. Only thing about lead or tungsten is lead ones are easy to adjust/trim and tungsten are good for fishing deeper as they’re much smaller that lead, or a standard nail from the hardware store

Thanks buddy 👌

[@joannegregson7343]

Hi, Great video again. what is the lemon meringue worm like lure you are setting up in the vid? cheers

[@Thomhuntfishing]

I can’t remember! I think I got them from Bass Pro Store back in 2016! They’re a standard 5” ‘Senko’ worm maybe Gary Mamamoto?

[@joannegregson7343]

@@Thomhuntfishing Cheers Thom, was particularly interested as you said they float? got lots of soft plastics I use for Bass fishing but thought they all sank. I'll have to test them! cheers

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Oh well if you want floating ones definitely go for Zman lures then. They do a 2.75”, 4” and 6” Floating Senko style bait called a TRD

[@joannegregson7343]

@@Thomhuntfishing cheers Thom I'll have a look.

[@leafysfishing]

Are neko worms and lures floating? Or does it matter? Can any material be used?

[@petermenting9245]

Gebruik dan een haak voor paling

[@rolandsmith2141]

Do you like Westin gear by any chance!.seriously were do you get your Westin tackle from

[@dudbolt9707]

Little thing called sponsorship you get when your a good angler

[@Thomhuntfishing]

Yes I’m fortunate to be soo sorted by Westin to get to use/test all their gear. I only ever recommend what works for me though. My reputation is just as important as any deal. I see a lot of anglers sell their soul for sponsorship deal and just recommend everything. That’s not my bag
