Ever tried this?  It can be deadly!  Pro Todd Faircloth sat down with me to show his tips for catching fall bass with the neko rig!

 

 

Remember catching some nice bass with Neko rig last fall. I use same weight for deep or shallow, fishing fast or slow but I change plastic. I prefer Zman (finessez and ZinkerZ) and 6” fat roboworm in Fall and use yum dinger and Senko other times.

I love this hook, mostly because I won't fish the neko because i snag so dang much in my lakes (brush/sticks...).

 

However, I'm facing a dilemma!! 

Todd rigs it with the swivel coming out the same side as the bend of the hook. This URL shows the swivel on the 'other' side.

SO.......... which one is 'correct' or was it 'designed' for?
