Brilliant in theory, poorly executed in realiI was just recently made aware of these and the idea was incredible. Right up my alley for the type of fishing I enjoy. I've come to believe that Yamamoto Baits is likely backing the manufacturing of these hooks. A 5" Senko has about a moments life expectancy. Feel a tick and set? Your bait is DONE, fish or no fish. Just pulling it through the sticks and it's finished. You get one chance. Fishing the sticks as these are designed for, a pack of baits is gone in no time. My boat is littered with Senko pieces. On top of that, I've had several hooks put into service that had the keepers disappear without even catching a fish on the hook! You can do better Gammy!

Comments: Decided to test this hook yesterday in the Ca Delta. Wanted to have a weedless wacky setup for 5" senkos, with a swivel to help reduce spinning reel line twist. I've caught enough fish in my kayak, on wacky worms to have a pretty good feel for the bump or tick through the rod to know when a fish is there. I fished docks for a number of hours and thought I felt that tick a number of times but wasnt able to reel down and hook the fish. Further, I had 3 come off. After a few hours (and on my way back to the ramp) I switched over to my usual setup (a O ring and a 1/0 spin bait hook and landed 4 fish. Maybe Neko style would be different but I don't really use that rig to much for a weightless wacky it didn't work for me. Also, the Senkos generally are not real durable but with an O ring you can catch multiple fish; however, the fish I did land with the G-finesse really tore the bait up. Couldn't reuse it.

Comments: Love the hooks, very sharp, but the wire keeper will break off.

Comments: Purchased all sizes of this new product for weedless application and have caught numerous bass primarily using the Daiwa/Yamamoto Fat Neko worms. Takes a few trial and errors to rig, the video really helps a lot. I have found that using the softer type baits really take a beating due to the rigging process and rarely will a bait survive a strike for a second use,not a complaint just happens. I have had a couple of the bait keepers gone after using for a few hours I guess the solder attachment can get over stressed..all said great addition to to this great fishing technique
