Ok so does anyone make a straight worm shaped like a GY that is heavy and salt infused in the front with a bouyant back half? That would look and swim like a Neko but be cleaner and look natural, less fussing, find a light wire hook and texas rig at the salt end. Have not found this, steal my idea, I’ll buy from you! I know some of that bouyant plastic do not play well chemically with other stuff. Might try a neko tomorrow, will be a hot one!
Neko deep tomorrow or jigworm on deeper weedlines.
Big gals will be so done with the whole spawn scene-gills might be shallow but that is another thread.

Yeah I thought you were talking about bass. Not gills
What you are describing is like a trick worm but with a weighted head? I put them on long shank ned hooks if that helps you

Instead of a Trick Worm that doesn’t consistently float, try a NetBait T-Mac straigh tail worm. Look at the reviews on TW, lot of us converts from Trick Worms. T-Mac makes a great jig worm, Neko, Carolina rig.

There are plenty of floating worms. Not sure if their fronts will sink though. The problem you will run into is you will still have to weight the front of the worm. That’s why the neko is so effective. Not just because it sits the way it does on the bottom, but because of the fall it has. I catch fish on the fall 5-1 over fish picking it up off the bottom.

Totally agree… Neko weight up front draws it down, tail stays up and undulates..
That being said, tournament yesterday with the heat made the bass bite extremely tough. No plastics worked at all – flukes, Neko, craws, tubes. But the one thing that did work was smaller 4-5 inch Jig Worms on 1/8 oz heads. Very subtle presentation to lethargic fish – however, they did hit the Jig Worm hard when it would slowly go by in the cabbage.
GY?
Did well today wacky rigging a 4” black worm, chunky fish, was loving my spot lock today.

I didn’t hear of anyone doing well in tourneys in that heat over the weekend.
We fished smallies yesterday. 94 degrees, windy. Shallow boulders. Ned rig, drop shot, hair jig. Nothing. DT-6 and DT-10 were pretty good. Go figure.

Were you fishing on Mille Lacs? If you were, what was the water temp out there now?
We were on Portage just north of Hackensack. Water temp was 70.
Mille lacs is averaging about 70-72 depends where and how the wind is blowing, during the last 4 days

Thanks, appreciate it.
