a good tip is to heat the needle weight with a lighter and hold it with narrow pliers, then push it into the jig, then it will melt and never come off.
Spring coils. Make your own by wrapping stainless wire around a nail with a diameter that meets your application. Twist into plastic and trim with wire cutter.
I've always had my best luck using the zoom mag finesse worms. They're only 5" in length but they have a fatter overall profile so they take a nail weight well and pair nicely when using the VMC wacky/neko rings
I hate to say it…but that hit worm is my go to bait for the past 35 years, since I was a Marshall on our local lake. I couldn’t find them anywhere during the covid era a few years ago. It even out fished the Berkley flat worm! Also, try a clear piece of automotive shrink tube to put your hook through, then a small piece of the worms collar or wherever you hook your worm through. It makes your worm last way longer, even when fish are jumping and fighting, they don’t seem to throw the worms.
Man I've had a pack of Magnum hit worms that I've never done all that well with, but I tried nekko rigging it yesterday and you are totally right. Friggin MONEY
I love the magnum hit worm. I definitely want it on a crew lock if possible. The material doesn’t seem to “heal up” like standard plastic so it’s a lil harder to keep on a T rig set up. I would definitely use a band on the Neko also. Thanks for the tips JLee!
Little thing I do with niko rig is slip in a small small skinny rattle in the tail and glue it shut, it works with the hit worm to sticking them in the bulb and just a dot of super glue to seal it shut
Good video. I use that stuff you are showing but scent is important. I use Smelly Jelly. This pink stuff stinks bad, but the bass love it. It comes in a small jar from Tackle warehouse. It is about $9.00 a jar. It lasts a long time. I rub a little bit on the worm and boy does it work.
Very informative great information never fished like this but im pretty shure i will does water temp make alot of difference i know you said winter time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Jordan! Good stuff on the Neko rigging. I was wondering if you were going to mention the neko hack plastic, and you did! 👍 Don’t get me wrong, I love the vmc bands since they run both ways…but the neko hack has worked for me very well too. God bless and wishing you and family an awesome Christmas!!!
Hey Jordan Berkeley quit making the 7” maxscent general And the bass loved Ike’s Magic If you could help I’d appreciate it Still have not met you yet personally
I am the same way with scent. I used to be real skeptical and still kind of am sometimes but just last weekend I won't say the product I was using but I put some scent on cast it out. My soft plastic Texas rig moved it. Probably 3 ft on the bottom. Just little bitty bumps before I knew it. Boom about a 2 and 1/2 pounder. Didn't put any more of the scent on. I casted back in the same area. Nothing. Nothing fourth cast. I added more scent then I casted it out. Let it sink. Go to pull up the slack. I notice my line is swimming off. Set the hook on a huge one. I don't even want to say how big cuz no one ever believes anyway. But I could easily fit my fist into her mouth. It was crazy. And I was like it has to be the scent
I'll be pouring drop shot worms Monday in Hanceville if you happen to be in the area. Love to get some of these prototypes in your hands and get your feedback. DJ's Bait & Tackle 205 Blountsville St NE Hanceville, Al 35077. These are not for sale. Developing these for Creme.
@@jordanlee1180 I'm from Anderson County S.C. I'm just curious. where are you from, just state and county. I heard you mention Hartwell Lake and I fish there often. Do you have any lure and color recommendations for Hartwell Lake, Russell Lake, and Clark's Hill/Lake Thurmond
Hey….really good video!! First time coming across your channel!! I will be subscribing for sure. Maybe I missed it and I didn’t see it in the description but what type of hook is that…I pretty sure you said 1/0. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃🍻
Iff. Your on a budget. And I live upper Mississippi River. ((. Which has jig monsters 👺 in it. 🥴😆)). Screw lock. Different sizes split shots. Take pinch on the size weight you think you need screw it in. Holds really well. And Iff you don’t like weight. Back screw out a bit take off split shot pinch on another. Screw back in. And Iff you brake off ain’t out much. Granted cheap split shots aren’t Tunston. But it’s an option.
Thanks for the analysis! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

Good stuff. I use clear electrical heat shrink tubing. Works really well and is pretty cheap.

What you should have mentioned is the neko hacks excel in use for neko rigging creature baits and craw style baits. Awesome video!
Keep the videos coming...love the content both on and off the water
Thanks man! Will do!

I went to Hartwell yesterday did exactly what u said and they ate it up most definitely the juice
Very good info, we use this type of setup a ton here in NorCal but it’s nice to add a couple of rigging options. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome!

With spotted bass theirs a fine line of making your lure big enough to get their attention but small enough for them to bite it
That’s some good juice thank you Jordan 🎣
Hey Jordan
Berkeley quit making the 7” maxscent general

If you could help I’d appreciate it

Good stuff Jordan. Can you talk a little about retrieves especially in deeper water?

Your hands smell great after playing with that max scent.
Excellent tips. Thanks.

We do. He was so fun to be around. Think about Aaron often. Great person!

That's a 1/0 ryugi
I like it! Are your hook up ratio's any better with either the band or the hack?
I haven’t noticed a big difference on either one. Pretty good hookups overall
did you have a camera for Hartwell? If so are you gonna post any of it?
Iff. Your on a budget. And I live upper Mississippi River. ((. Which has jig monsters 👺 in it. 🥴😆)). Screw lock. Different sizes split shots.

Love the hat
Thanks for the analysis! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Did the hook point go through the clear band ? Or did it just pass through the band from bottom to the top ?
Happy Turkey Day!
Jordan thanks for sharing few tips with us. Your one of the best I really enjoyed listening to you on Bass After Dark
Thanks!!
Do you ever fish Clark's Hill Lake/Thurmond or Russell Lake?
Not yet! I actually have never been to any of those lakes
Hey justin what size of these hook are you using ??
1/0!!
That. Hack??? What brand is that. 🤔🤔
They're made by Geecrack, they're called the Neko Hack. Made specifically for the bellows gill/bellows shad but obviously work on anything
I have the correct link in description if you want to check it out 👍🏼
Will that catch 'em out of a skeewl???
Big skoozzzz!!!
Hey Mr.Lee maybe support your small business soft bait companies.I suppose they don't pay as well
