That's the video that got me into the neko rig 6 years ago. It's been one of my favorite rigs since.

[@TheSeminarius]

This is the most comprehensive and informative video I've seen on this rig. Fantastic job everyone involved in making it. You earned a new sub right here

[@user-rd3tz6vy9v]

I love the LTB vids, and monthly box. They have helped a lot learn this new style of fishing for me. I'm hooking for fish on each trip with different techniques. I love it,,, thank you all at LTB.

[@tylerbabbitt6135]

Watching this video at 5am in the morning and I’ll be using it for the first time 4/30/2023 Lmao 😅. I miss Travis and his awesome videos

[@lzyfisherman3136]

very very nice looking shots and thanks for all the info, don't think you missed anything. another tip on the nail weights, I hammer flat, old sinkers and cut strips for nail weights, different sizes and such, just another way to recycle old/used gear.

[@AmeriFanPicker]

So pretty light line for this? I can't imagine being able to feel that it's bouncing across the bottom. I typically use 12lb mono most of the time.

[@monkey_fishing]

[@travismoran693]

I love drone shots!

[@wjb111]

[@headbandog5540]

Going to try this for rock pile walleye

[@southcackalackybassin9287]

[@HookedfishinBlogspot]

Great vid Travis!

[@chocolutboi]

Subscribed instantly! Great video man

[@thomasgoods4625]

Yo is that trinity? Freaking love that place if it is. Took 2 weeks of to fish and boat flipped a tank on my last day.

[@davidmachado1473]

Amazing tecnic. Lice ✌✌

[@BingeCenter]

That's like the ned 2.0!

[@Jschuhfishing]

I have a question, why do you use an O-ring if you are hooking into the plastic?

[@leozuniga9876]

Nice video👍

[@nickmathews638]

i use clear orthodontic rubberbands they are clear and super tough

[@alesieur1971]

Nice done guys..thumbs up

[@travismoran693]

thanks!

[@chuck5470]

Great vid! Where is this? It's gorgeous!!!

[@coachMiguelfishing]

Awesome info

[@travismoran693]

thanks man!

[@murderinc.hunting7686]

Nice👍🎣

[@timb8970]

what lake is this? great videos btw.

[@まるたく-e5r]

アメリカでもネコリグで呼ばれているのか!? Oリングでリグるところもそのまま伝わっている感じがする

[@thorknowsbest8613]

Hey travis my man, did you fish on a college team when you were younger?

[@2explore1]

Side question? What jacket is this?

[@FoothillsofFreedom]

Great video but damn that dry skin needs some lotion bro!! Also staples sells a 150 pack of tiny black rubber black rubber bands for like two bucks. They're the perfect size for senkos, no doubling over of the rubber band needed.

[@travismoran693]

hahaha that was during a 1 week road trip of cold to hot to wet to freezing to windy. My body got rocked. I have fished a lot of conditions but that trip was brutal!

[@FoothillsofFreedom]

Travis Moran been there man, much love to the LTB crew, I miss getting the boxes, but I have a baby now, gotta save $ where I can. Still always tune in for the tip videos and unboxings though!

[@TheRealDanBell]

Great tips. I think the video would be even better with less music.

[@ChopperFisher]

"A nice little big piece"

[@erikjackson1057]

Travis what hat are u wearing in this video it's sick!!

[@masterbaeten88]

[@seanl1111]

Travis can you leave a link to the rod brand named stix

[@masterbaeten88]

Looks like a castaway skeleton v2

[@noahtseng625]

Nice vid! Is this Bullard Bar?

[@travismoran693]

Thanks! and yes, Bullards!

[@ryanerb403]

Travis Moran I figured Shasta or Bullards. Thanks for clearing that up! Great video!

[@TheSilverstonedwolf]

Look if they only want half the worm then just throw a ned rig :p haha

[@jigtreyfishing]

Yeah i did it today

[@travismoran693]

great technique!

[@XploreAz]

Name of intro song: Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh.

[@treywillowgaming689]

Yo Travy Morany, If there was no fishing, what would you be doing in life?

[@chasingthefish9042]

I find it amusing that in this video you mention running the hook point away from the weight but in a post on the website it says hook point towards the weight

[@LuckyTackleBox]

if you think that's amusing you should see my 1 year old eat. now that's amusing! obviously it was just a mistake on the website. thanks for letting us know.

[@chasingthefish9042]

I noticed after posting this that it was written by someone else. What's the advantages of running the hook point away from the weight opposed to hook point towards the weight?

[@mathewbrown5865]

What lake is this?

[@travismoran693]

Mathew Brown Bullards Bar in Northern CA

[@effyoo6081]

Neko=weighted wacky rigged senko. Just easier to say

[@travismoran693]

yep

[@dudemcgee256]

Well sort of, Neko rigging involves adding weight to the head so you get a completely different action underwater than a standard wacky rig.

[@effyoo6081]

Josh McLean there's no "sort of" in ...WEIGHTED wacky rigged senko. More like exactly, or, if your into the whole brevity thing,.."yep"

[@dudemcgee256]

In a weighted wacky rig presentation, the weight is in the middle of the Senko, usually a jig head. A Neko rig uses a nail weight in the head. Completely different presentation.

Looks like a Wacky Rig!

[@steve4321able]

Am I the only one who fishes this on a baitcaster? Why the spinning rods? This bait is plenty heavy.

[@steelhead6313]

[@lynnschuyler4983]

"Catching Big Bass"?! How ironic... isn't that called click bait?

[@bobflercher1580]

For 2019 I would love to see more women fishing I love watching them fish in specially when they're in their bikinis that's beside the point need more women fishing Bob Elkhart Indiana

[@mrmalone28]
