I've caught a few good ones throwing this around submerged timber. I throw it at the base of the tree and let if fall all the way on a slack line. once it hits bottom I twitch it a few times, if nothing bites, I bring it back and try another side of the tree.

I need to learn more about this. I've read some, but that about it. I think will order the mushroom tail weights from Tackleware house and play with it. If I ever get off work and can fish.
Thanks, Billy

I started using it last summer with very good success. I use the VMC 1/0 hooks and 1/8 & 3/16oz VMC mushroom weights made for it.
Various 6" straight tail worms with the GrandeBass Airtail Wiggler getting the best results due to the best floating tail worm and a 5" Senko a close second. A 6" Strike King finesse worm third.
I started by using a spinning outfit with an 8# flourocarbon leader bout switched to a baitcaster with 10# flourocarbon for better pitching accuracy and have not switched back to spinning gear.
I have found it to be a good all season rig.

I also use a red o-ring just like I do for a wacky rigged Senko. It saves on worms.

Its a wacky worm with a weight in the end of it. People have been doing it for years. All they have done is gave it a new name and tackle companies are selling specific weights for it. Im guessing Dobyns will be the first to have a Neko Rig Rod. Shove a nail or a screw or a half a clam shell weight in the end of you worm with a dot of super glue, and there ya have it. I have always wondered if tackle companies pay an advertisement fee to have those article published in Bass magazines.

Looking at it, I think you're right-a wacky worm with a weight. There are soooo many ways to finesse fish and it seems like every small change means they have to come up with a new name.
But I have no doubt that its effective.

I keep a pair of wire snips on the boat and cut a drywall nail in half for my "neko" weights

I have been experimenting with it lately. I have been using a brush hog with a nail in the head and a smaller hook in the body. I use an o ring on the body to keep the hook. I have had great results. It makes the brush hog stand up in a totally different look. I use it that way more than standard t-rig.

Hybrid of the wacky and shaky head rigs. I have not used it yet, but am very curious. I would love to hear how some folks have done on Conroe, Sam, and Toledo with these and their set ups as far as rods and reels go.
Everything on your bass boat is broken......You just don't know it yet.

I have had very good results. Like Rodslinger said, try different baits. I think a Bluegill Fluke nose down would be deadly during the spawn.
