    Fish head Neko weights. I have wanted to make these for years.

    1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8oz. You can fish these texas rigged on the opposite end as usual, Or typical wacky style.

    Looks really good, as usual.

    Those look great as always but I just have to ask, what is the bait with the gold and purple flake. I'm loving that color.

    Those are made by Whopper Baits. They are 3 inch Whippin' sticks in a custom color that I ordered in bulk. I buy them in 3, 4, and 5 inch. He’s making me hundreds more that float for these heads. Normally he adds salt and no floatant . I want the next batch to float :-)

    They look much better in person... I'm disapointed in how the pics came out.

    Thanks... I don't think that many people can wrap their head around a head like this w/o a hook... The plan is to have the hook in the middle or tail so you can give the bait a ton of action w/o moving the weight much. It should look like a feeding fish scavenging around on the bottom. You cant do that with a jighead.

    I wish Whopper Baits offered a forked tail type bait.

    You ought to try the ZMan Hula Stick...I've been using those a lot and have a little better luck than with the regular TRD.

    Something fishy looking with a tail.... Preferably with some body bulk to help float the head. Not too soft of plastic. No paddle tails.

    I have some, But that tail don't look as good "To me" In fact, I believe that tail was first designed to go on the jig side of the bait.

    Are you interested in selling some? I really like the idea fish head nail weight. Looks more like a fish feeding on the bottom. Let me know what ya think.
