I used to ONLY use LIVE hellgramites until I saw John use them in his videos so I gave them a try. I have completely switched from live hellgramites to the Nikko hellgramites. I absolutely love them. Hands down the best soft plastic hellgramites on the market today.

What a great way to introduce Scott and all the new products from NIKKO. I have to say I really liked the fact that Nikko has gone the extra mile to produce what surely seems to be as the top of the line soft plastics available. I can also get on board with their candidness about the longevity of the product.. Not many would have been that honest , but in my book that makes me want to go out and buy all their products for sure. A lot like your channel John, pure honesty in the adventures you bring us ; from the missed catches to the exciting hook ups. I have to say I am sold on NIKKO from this point and they will be my soft plastics of choice... A true match made from heaven JOHN DALTON and NIKKO, true to themselves, and honest with their viewers and customers. Thanks to you both John and Scott for all you do for anglers every where. God Bless and GO KATS!!!!!!!

Nikko, like all bait companies, should be hitting the ground running this year. With the pandemic, you could not keep bait or gear in stock. Every place I went last summer, was out of merchandise. Whether is was Wal Mart, Dick's, Cabela's or Bass Pro, they did not have things available. Keep up the great videos and you are fortunate to have Nikko on your side. Go for it, fish on!

They do have them on their website. Just search pack and they'll pull up. IMO I'd rather just pick my own. Because their packs have a peculiar selection...an octopus in them. Never seen an octopus in a Texas lake but ok. Hellgrammite, craw, leech and Zaza worm will do for this creek lurker lol. Happy casting.

Now get Nikko products in Cabela's / Bass Pro Shops, and Walmart would be nice! Nikko, you also need your own line of matching jigs/hooks for your baits, I have a terrible time finding light enough jigs! You need to do what TRD does and sell complete packages with hooks/jigs. Come on guys, get on it :)

I've been fishing with hellgrammites since I was a kid. My Dad and I would catch crayfish and hellgrammites by the dozens every time we would go fish a local creek I grew up on. My Dad always said, "crayfish are good, but a hellgrammite is a bass's filet mignon!". I wish he was still alive to see these Nikko baits. They are closest artificial to the real thing and man do they catch the fish.

I've only caught carp, catfish, large and small mouth bass, walleye, and bluegill. My son caught a muskie and trout plus all the others I mentioned. I haven't caught a trout yet and not sure I can handle a muskie! The carp was pretty fiesty, though.
