I fish them on a Neko rig. Its a sinker from Damiki. You insert this weight in the head of the bait, then use a 1 or 1/0 wacky or dropshot hook that you'll insert in the body right before the tail. The weight keeps the head of the bait down and the tail floats. You can use a slow drag, deadstick it, hop it or use as a shakey head type of bait. Its really versatile. You can also t-rig it or use a jighead. I gonna use them this spring for some Lake Michigan smallies.
