Description

Combining Daiwa’s demand for perfection with Yamamoto’s legendary soft plastic, the Daiwa Yamamoto Neko Straight Worm is sure to make waves on the tournament circuits. Specifically engineered to be used with a nail weight in the head – Neko Rig style, it features a slim, straight body design that produces tremendous action with the slightest movement of the rod tip. Impregnated with a healthy dose of salt to deliver an enticing slow rate-of-fall just like all Yamamoto soft plastics, it can be fished very effectively on shakey heads, drop shots, Texas-rigs, and Carolina-rigs in addition to the Neko Rig.The Neko Rig is always a great option for finesse fishing. While most anglers use a weightless worm, the nail weight in the Neko Rig gives anglers the ability to use heavier gear and reach fish in deeper water, where weightless worms just aren’t practical to fish. Available in multiple sizes and a wide range of Yamamoto’s world famous colors, the Daiwa Yamamoto Neko Straight Worm is going to be a major player in upcoming tour-level events.LengthQuantity5.8"106.5"10
