The Damiki Neko Sinker is a specialized weight designed for the Neko rig, a finesse fishing technique popular among bass anglers. This sinker is crafted to enhance the presentation of soft plastic baits, providing a unique, subtle action that triggers strikes from finicky fish.
Key Features:
Nail-Style Design:
- The sinker resembles a small nail or cylindrical pin, allowing it to be easily inserted into the head or tail of soft plastic baits like stick worms, finesse worms, and creature baits.
Ribbed or Barbed Structure:
- Some models feature ribs or barbs to ensure a secure grip inside the bait, preventing it from sliding out during casts or after fish strikes.
Precise Weight Options:
- Available in various weights, often ranging from 1/32 oz to 1/8 oz, allowing anglers to adjust for different depths, currents, and conditions.
Lead or Tungsten Material:
- While many are made from lead, some versions may be available in tungsten for a more compact profile with increased sensitivity, ideal for detecting subtle bottom contact.
