In this episode of Before the 1st Cast, we break down everything you need to know about mastering the Neko rig and why it's one of the most effective finesse presentations you can throw when bass are being pressured, cautious, or locked up tight to cover. We cover how the nose-weighted setup creates a unique bottom posture that bass can't ignore, how to rig it properly so your soft plastic stays clean and balanced on every cast, and why weedless setups are the key to fishing it in the high-percentage spots where big bass actually live. We also get into how to read the retrieve and let the fish tell you how much action they want, plus how line selection and leader strength can make or break your results. With FreshBaitz soft plastics like the HellaMite, Fresh Scorpion, Fresh Beetle, and FreshBaitz Lizards paired perfectly with this technique, you'll have everything you need to get bit when the bite gets tough.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bass-cast-radio--1838782/support.Become a Patreon memebet now for less then a pack of worms you can support Bass Cast Radio as well as get each epsiode a day early & commercial free.
