Seth Feider's Tips for Neko Rigging Summertime Bass

Finesse tactics like the Neko rig are deadly for summer bass fishing. Professional angler Seth Feider shares a few tips on how he attacks grass flat bass with a Neko rig. While working transition zones between the grass and hard bottom, Seth prefers to use a weedless Neko hook with a slightly heavier line to cast into the grass and work his bait back into the hard bottom area.

When targeting hard bottom holes inside grass flats, boat positioning can be crucial. By using Spot-lock, Seth can position his boat to cast 360 degrees while he picks apart the surrounding area. While targeting bass with a Neko rig, Seth stresses the importance of proper hook setting technique to increase hooking percentage with light wire hooks and spinning gear. Big swinging hooksets can is not necessary with sharp light wire hooks and can decrease hooking percentage.

[@262Fishing]

Learned more about side imaging than I did about the neko, but I'll take it!

[@khayenglor186]

Lol

[@dajahvue]

Dudes got some insane fishing skill and secrets.

[@GainingDespair]

every time I see him I just can't stop looking at the mustache I have old photos of my father, and my uncles with that same exact type from the 80's

[@RushVoorhisOutdoors]

Seth is my favorite tournament angler! Hell yea

[@rm709]

“ A little bass, a little grass; makes the world go round” - Seth Yes!

[@areddfishing7473]

This is something I need to do more. Use side imaging to find those hard spots in the grass especially when my grass gets so thick and isn’t deep enough to punch

[@mhimage]

You show people the real deal always. You’re the best!!

[@garyogrady6804]

I like the fider man more and more! Been following him on the trail. Hope he wins AOY 2021

[@quietazn]

Loved the Ope. Made the Minnesotan in me proud.

[@travisbruno1988]

Thanks Seth and congrats on the AOY..i love the arsenal silicone tubes for wacky rigs and neko

[@steelwarrior105]

The man with the most legendary hair and stash in bass

[@Wired2Fish]

Without question!

[@MaCast]

Nice tips bro

[@mightyturtle]

fished the neko for the first time yesterday. did pretty well.

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

I Stopped texas rigging senkos and I started catching fish. It took a few bites to figure out the hook set. Broke a couple off. That top of the mouth hook set is where its at, neko rig works

[@quigleyshuntfishadventures9018]

I wish wired2fish could pull strings with the DNR and get contours on our lake there! Especially between Jacob Wheeler and Feider videos out there alone!!! 😁😂😁

[@Wired2Fish]

If you have a means of getting on your lake than you can custom map it yourself with Humminbird’s AutoChart Live!

[@Macdaddy8124U]

Get right to the point.....PERFECT VIDEO!!!

[@BlueLineFishing]

Good stuff as always!

[@BassGeek]

I don't get to fish grass a lot but man when you find the right hole It's on.

[@garnol12]

Dude can bring some fish in the boat and has a rockin stache! Now that is a double whammy

[@hodagtrapper4167]

I try not to "T" them up but sometimes the devil takes control and I rear back and set the hook like I am halibut fishing! LOL

[@mmatalk3817]

[@k9er233]

Great video. Kind of like watching Alan Jackson catching bass on a Neko. 😁

[@Wired2Fish]

Very true! You can watch all of his stuff here. kzbin.info/aero/PLqCVQ-qVE7YdgudQGc9pSGc7gvsYzA2Vj

[@mojarritamartinez7798]

👊💯🎣 thanks Nice vídeo ,grettings !!!

[@mattquinlan4629]

Seth-if you started a channel EVERYONE would follow! Best of luck

[@hankwilliams3063]

Circle of death 🤘🤘

[@JessePatasomcit]

Glad you teach on not having to set the hook so hard. So cringe when that happens.

[@josephkyer4868]

Circle of death. I like it

[@bragg77]

Do you use medicine on the fishes lip after you pull the hook out.

[@harrisonnelson1064]

what😂

[@coreyhardisty5312]

When is a good time a year to throw these? I take it summer or spring time with the short sleeve shirt

[@Son1UPTu]

What would you use beside the bate you’re using for weeds ?

[@jahazielalcantar8742]

What knot did you used to unite main line with leader?

[@horaiyo]

Unless he's changed recently, he uses an FG knot or some variation of it.

[@DeltaRogueFishing]

Another great video as always! I hope my channel has a fraction of the success that yours has. Keep doin what you do!

[@anonymous_friend]

what size hook is he using?

[@shane6232]

What's the deal with your trolling motor and the clusterf@ck of cables?

[@XxNiteStockerxX]

Joe dirt - the best !!

[@erikandrehoglund55]

This is great but sucks in windy condition. Ehm tungsten weights or ?

[@funkymojo111]

That hook gets snagged too much while bank fishing in urban overgrown rivers in SoCal; it's ok for fishing open waters from a boat.

[@nybbhUSA]

Circle of death!😂

[@trinidadjamieson236]

Had no idea that’s how you’re supposed to pronounce tatula until now

[@Christopherjamesmurphy21]

I find my hook up and landing ratio went way up when i switched to neko. Always get them in to top of the mouth no going anywhere

[@Wired2Fish]

Hey Chris, we agree. The Neko rig is one of the highest landing ratio rigs.

[@CarlosRivera-rm9qj]

Sería genial si lo tradujera al. Español tendrías muchos más view

[@davisledford994]

Anyone recommend what size neko weight for ponds?

[@fishingwithbryce6393]

I wish I could catch that many fish

[@jesseshumaker2718]

Chicken rig needed here .

[@walkeryon1765]

Hard bottoms are the juice eh

[@darrylwilliams7508]

Exist 3000 $$$$$

[@sacpig6839]

Chicken rig is it's superior :)

[@fishingwcp]

Never thrown a Neko I’ll have to put that on the list

[@slabslayer258]

If you ever need a fishing friend for Mille lacs call me I drive up over night from east Texas or if you need to come to Sam Rayburn an practice I pay you to let me sit in the back of boat an watch an learn or we go catch crappie off my waypoints

[@matthewpriestley7202]

I try to ensure that my leader line doesn’t have a bigger diameter than the braid mainline so I go with Suffix 832 20lb when fishing an 8lb leader and then 30lb when using 12lb and finally 40lb when fishing 16lb leaders. My question, should I be going with lighter braid even though it has a smaller diameter than the leader ?

[@anonymous_friend]

They didnt say how long the leader was, he may have 30 yards and never even unspool the braid mainline, lol

[@ship4427]

He said he runs 8 to 8 but just beefed the leader up for the grass. Probably doesn't want to respool all his braid. It's easier just to tie in heavier leader. The braid is plenty strong enough to handle it. Old the lighter braid will cast that thing a mile.

[@user-jw5jm6fw2f]

Looks like Joe Dirt sold his Hemi and got a bass boat

[@scottmcbride2237]

Awesome video but it's so funny that he don't take the time to look and enjoy the fish. He just takes the hook out and throws it back. Lol. Wow. I've never seen anyone in a video not enjoy the fish that they caught. For each their own.

[@magicstix0r]

God makes a bass throw a lure every time someone pronounces it "knee-ko" rig...

[@connorklevesahl7846]

Oil your reel

[@notaliberalfromcali6245]

They say " theres a big one " EVERY TIME!!!! And every time they say " not as big as I thought "... bass dorks

[@colequinn10]

He always sounds depressed
