VMC Ike Approved "Neko Hook" Question

[Hot Rod Johnson]

Have any of you Fisherwoman and Fisherman had the opportunity to use the Michael Iaconelli "Neko Hook" that is built specifically for the finesse technique of neko-rigging... If so what's you take on them? They are forged with a three-degree offset for an improved hook-up ratio... The VMC Ike Approved Neko Hook features a long shank and a wide-gap that imparts the "Ideal Vertical Posture"... Finished with a resin-sealed eye for increased dependability, the VMC Ike Approved Neko Hook delivers professionally modified performance that finesses anglers can count-on...

I have never fished with ikes neko hook. That being said I really like all the other styles his line provides. Most all the hooks in my box are ike approved. Never had a bad experience. the price is better than most other brand also.

I've never found a need to use a neko specific hook.  It's just a wacky rig with a nail weight so I use wacky hooks.

Agree with this--I just use the hook that I use for wacky fishing also.  Do not myself see the need for a "special" hook to fish basically the same rig that I have been fishing for years. I do understand it is about sales but I just  do not see the need
