The Neko rig is a highly effective and versatile fishing technique popular among professional anglers. It consists of a wacky-rigged soft plastic worm with a weight inserted into its nose, allowing for a unique, spiraling fall. The weight selection depends on factors like wind and water depth, with lighter weights (such as 1/16 or 1/32 ounce) being preferable in calm conditions for a more natural presentation. The Neko rig can be used in various environments, from shallow banks to deep waters, and is particularly effective around cover, rock piles, brush piles, floating docks, and suspended fish in reservoirs and ledges. While other finesse techniques like the Damiki rig and hover strolling are commonly used for suspended fish, the Neko rig has proven to be an overlooked but highly productive method in these scenarios.
