VMC Neko Rig Hook and Weights Review

Jason Sealock

A quick look at the new Neko Rig Hooks and Weights from VMC.

The Neko rig has become a staple among bass fishermen who need to finesse fish for bass in pressured situations both shallow and deep. VMC released a whole line of new Neko terminal tackle for bass anglers at the 2016 ICAST show. We’ve been fishing with the rig with their new VMC Ike Approved Neko Hook, VMC Neko Weight and VMC Half Moon Wacky Weight and they are perfect for the technique.

The VMC Ike Approved Neko Hook is designed with the perfect offset for not only holding your plastics in place on a wacky rig but all for the right pull point when you go to reel set on a fish with light line. The hooks are thin wire but they are strong enough to take the pressure of 10-pound braid on a spinning reel. The eye is welded, which is nice so that really light line knots won’t dig into the hook eye bend that’s not sealed on other finesse hooks.
