Quick take
Short-shank neko hooks with needle point for wacky rigging and finesse fishing small plastic worms.
The VMC Neko Hook in black nickel, size 1/0, comes in a pack of six for wacky and Neko rigging of soft plastic baits. Its long shank helps it penetrate and keeps a fish pinned through the fight, which suits anglers working snaggy bass cover. A sharp point is what lets a leaning hookset drive it home.
