I’ve always been a wacky rig guy and can catch them up shallow around cover pretty good when that is the juice but when they’ve backed off I feel like my ned and drop-shot games aren’t producing like they should so I’ve thought about experimenting with the Neko for deeper water/bottom situations.. I throw usually a 3/32 nail weight in a berkley maxcent general or a roboworm 6in straight tail… So far I haven’t really caught any decent fish… even ones I can see on FFS.. I’ve tried to study what Drew Gill is doing but there’s not a lot out there of his exact techniques… Anyone care to share some info to help me learn? Thanks guys
I use jigs two ways. Either flipping into heavy cover like a texas rig or dragging on the bottom around deep structure. I like a 3/8 for flipping and a 1/2 or 3/4 for dragging. Flipping is pretty self explanatory.. Dragging I throw it out in deep water past my target and let it fall straight down to the bottom. Reel up my slack and slowly drag it by moving my rod tip horizontally from left to right. Positioning the boat on the shallow side of the target will usually keep the bait in the strike zone longer. Make as much bottom contact as you can and reel up slack and let it sit a few seconds and repeat. Try to drag it to the target don’t cast right on top of it and most bites come during the pause..
Last year was my first full
season with Livescope.. it’s completely changed the way I fish.. and last season was my best season in recent memory as far as quantity and quality..
A. 6’6 Medium-Heavy with a size 1 VMC Redline Neko Hook texas rigged and a 1/4 oz tungsten teardrop
B. 6’6 Medium-Fast with a size 2 VMC Drop-Shot hook with a 1/8 oz tungsten teardrop..
I guess the biggest difference I’m asking is do you all prefer to texas rig your drop-shots or nose hook them?
dedicate a separate battery source for your black box and graph you’re running it on. I went lithium I usually get a little over 13v for around 10 hrs.. I like the black emerald color pattern on night mode (it shows up amazing in bright sunny conditions..
