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!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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!
