Neko rig in cold water

[bassguytom]

My new tactic this year is going to be the Neko rig. I have been reading all about it and want to give it a shot. I have the rigging down and will experiment with baits but was wondering if this  technique  works in cold water. Seems like you can slow drag it and shake it in place so I was thinking it might work. Any info. From anyone that has experience with this rig is appriciated.

I've been using it the past week with great success. But I'm in SC so the water isn't all that cold

Thanks for the reply. The answer is yes it works in cold water. I was dock hopping this morning and caught 4 bass on this rig. The water was 38 degrees and for the first time throwing it I am pleasantly  surprised. I love it when I try somthing for the first time and it produces! Give it a shot guys if you haven't already.

Thanks for the post. Interesting topic.

 

With the bass sinking to the bottom in cold water, and then rising as the water warms during the day, I would think the Neko rig would do well.

 

You proved my theory. Thanks.

I've played around a bit with this set up this winter in our soaker tub. It looks similar to a shaky head but better to me. What lures are you using it with? I know almost anything is a correct answer but to me a Reaction Innovations Flirt worm and a Reins Bubbling shaker were two worms that were stand outs to me. A lot of the craws looked good too.

I was using a zoom finesse worm. I also used a sheet metal screw for the weight. It was stupid ugly when I rigged it up last night but transformed into miss America this morning. ?
