The Neko Rig is a very adaptable technique! We love to power fish in the Fall but this finesse presentations is always on deck! The Neko rig can be fished shallow, deep, or around cover. Its simple to rig, easy to fish, and bass love it! Here's what you need to know about this overlooked technique.

The key to the Neko presentation is the rigging. Once you've got that part dialed, the rest is very simple. Its naturally a very adaptable presentation but with a few simple modifications it becomes even more universal! Today we're covering how we set up the rig, our favorite baits for the presentation, and a few tricks we use to get more bites.

Below you'll find links to all the gear discussed in the video. We've included our favorite colors, sizes, and hooks for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item .
