Weed Guard IssuesBought these weedless neko hooks for wacky rigging and they are great hooks! Weed guard not so much, after a few fish the resin would get loose and weed guard would spin, so I now use some fly tying resin (red stuff) and problem solved! No more loose weed guard! I do the whole pk, #1 is what I use for wacky and neko fishing
Best wacky/Neko hookI’ve found this hook to be the best hook-to-land ratio. Works good in light grass and open water. Size 1 for finesse worms and 5 inch stick baits.
overall a good hookExcellent hook, but you need to know the water you are fishing if you select this hook. If you are fishing spinning gear with lighter line and drag set accordingly, these are great hooks. If you are fishing with heavier line, in thicker cover (especially docks), these hooks can and will bend considerably. I am trying the redlines, but these hooks cover about 90% of situations for me. Great hook overall.
BEST WACKY HOOK AVAILABLE!VMC has the best wacky hook made. Extra money for REDLINE hooks isn't necessary because of the sharpness of these hooks, plus the black doesn't stand out like the grey of the REDLINE hooks. A Green Pumpkin/Blue flake YUM Dinger on a #2 VMC Neko hook gives you a super, slow-falling, weedless, great-skipping lure that bass just can't resist. Skip it under overhanging tree limbs, bushes, undercut banks, docks, and shallow, shady spots-that traditional lures can't reach-for outstanding results. Trust me on the small #2 hook!

Comments: Bought these for Neko worm but tried them first for wacky rigging. Wow. They really pin the fish. I've gone out about 5 times and caught 30 or so fish and lost maybe 2 on these hooks. Hookup ratio blows away any of the many tiny wacky hooks I've used over the years, and believe me I have tried them ALL. This is going to be my go-to wacky AND Neko hook from now on. Redline version just as good but not better. So save $$ and get these. Oh, the weed guard; yeah, it helps a bit in light cover. Anything really dense and it's still gonna hang up a bit. Find the pockets and hold on to your daipees!

Comments: These are by far the best Neko hooks on the market IMO. They flat out pin fish and you hardly ever have one come unbuttoned. I also use these for wacky rigging they are that good. Give them a shot you'll love them.

Comments: Just switched to these and very happy with how they perform. Wasn't sure about the weed guard but it proved me wrong. Will you get snagged? Occasionally, but not near as much as an exposed hook. I was fishing these in laydowns and brush on Watts Bar and Chickamauga and they held up well when I set the hook on a branch or 2 and didn't bed out a bit. In fact, in 3 days I lost one hook under a dock I had to break off. Worth giving them a try in my opinion. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Comments: Best wacky and neko rig hook I've used. Yes, the weed guard moves a bit, but reposition and you're good to go. Excellent hookup-and-land ratio.

Comments: Weed guard spins after a few fish deeming it useless. Good hooks but without the weed guard staying straight they are no bueno!

Comments: Superb hook up ratio. I used one hook for 35 fish and only missed two or three bites. Best WACKY RIG hook I have found. Don't even have to set the hook. I was literally just letting it sink and popping my rod about every 5-10 seconds and you'll just feel them on there. Used the circle hooks for a while and wasn't getting good hook ups but these are incredible! The weed guard is just right. The hook is still good but the guard started sliding down after about 40 something fish in heavy cover. Can't complain there!

Comments: I actually use these as weedless wacky rig hooks. Top notch! As far as I'm concerned, these are the best "wacky" hooks out there. The are great neko hooks, don't get me wrong, but, that said, if your flipping a senko into heavy cover, these hooks are fantastic! The weed guards are just stout enough to give me the confidence to fish through some nasty stuff. Great product!

Comments: Great hookup. The weed guard could be a little better but it still works.
From: Unknown: 5/18/19
Comments: Great hook. I've been using the #1 and 1/0 sizes--nearly every fish is hooked in the top of the mouth and easy to get a great hookset using light line
From: Jacob: Atlanta 7/4/18
Comments: Bought some of these hooks, after catching a few fish, noticed the weed guard out of place, the resin got loose making the weed guard spin! Hope not all the hooks do this! Bought 3 pks!
From: Flukester: NC 5/8/18
Comments: Great hook to use, just wish the weed guard was a little more stronger. But over all a great hook.......
