Heavy cover is where big bass live, and the Strike King KVD Rodent was built to go in after them.

Why Buy the Daiwa Yamamoto Neko Fat 4"?

The Daiwa Yamamoto Neko Fat 4" brings the proven Daiwa × Yamamoto Neko Fat formula into a more compact, finesse-friendly size. Combining Daiwa's precision detailing with Yamamoto's legendary salt-impregnated soft plastic, the 4" Neko Fat features a thick Senko-style body and a unique bulbous tail that produces a quivering, head-down action that bass can't resist. Fished weightless or on a Neko rig with a nail weight in the nose, it's one of the most versatile finesse baits in the lineup. 10 per pack, 10 proven Yamamoto colors.

Main Use & Benefit

A 4-inch compact thick-body Neko rig worm combining Yamamoto's salt-impregnated soft plastic with a Senko-style body and bulbous tail — the nail weight in the nose creates a head-down, quivering presentation that triggers strikes from finicky bass at any depth, while the shorter profile excels in clear water and finesse situations where the 5" is too large.

Problem It Solves

The 5" Neko Fat is a proven fish-catcher, but its larger profile can be too much for ultra-clear water, finicky smallmouth, and spotted bass that key on smaller forage. The 4" Neko Fat delivers the same thick-body action and bulbous tail quiver in a more compact package — ideal for downsizing without sacrificing the unique action that makes the Neko Fat series stand out.

Advantages

• ✅ Compact 4" profile — ideal for clear water, smallmouth, and finesse situations where the 5" is too large
• ✅ Thick Senko-style body — more bulk and presence than a standard Neko worm
• ✅ Bulbous tail — unique quivering action that differentiates it from standard stick baits
• ✅ Nail weight compatible — reach fish at depth on heavier gear
• ✅ Yamamoto salt-impregnated formula — natural feel, fish hold on longer
• ✅ Daiwa precision detailing — consistent quality and action
• ✅ 10 proven Yamamoto color options
• ✅ 10 per pack
• ⚠️ Thicker body requires a slightly larger O-ring for wacky rigging than a standard stick bait

When to Choose It

Choose the 4" Neko Fat over the 5" when you're fishing ultra-clear water, targeting smallmouth or spotted bass, or when you need to downsize to get more bites without giving up the Neko Fat's unique thick-body action. It's equally effective weightless on a wacky rig for shallow presentations and on a Neko rig with a nail weight for deeper structure.

Best Fishing Techniques

• Neko Rig — insert a 1/32–1/16 oz nail weight into the nose; hook through the center with a #1 or #2 wacky hook; the head-down fall and quivering tail action triggers strikes on the drop and at rest on the bottom
• Wacky Rig — hook through the center with a #1/0 wacky hook; use an O-ring to extend bait life; the thick body produces a pronounced, symmetrical wiggle on the fall
• Drop Shot — nose-hook on a #1 or #2 hook, 12–18" above the weight; the bulbous tail quivers naturally in the strike zone
• Shaky Head — thread onto a 3/16 oz shaky head for a stand-up presentation on hard bottom; the thick body and bulbous tail quiver on the pause
• Weightless Texas Rig — rig on a 2/0–3/0 EWG hook for a slow-falling presentation through sparse cover

Best Conditions

• Ultra-clear water where a compact, natural profile is most effective
• Smallmouth and spotted bass fisheries where a smaller profile gets more bites
• Deep structure (15–35ft) on Neko rig where weightless worms can't reach
• Post-frontal high pressure and slow-bite days
• Docks, laydowns, and open water on wacky rig
• Year-round — especially effective in summer (deep Neko) and spring (shallow wacky)

Tackle Express Tips

1. Start with a 1/32 oz nail weight — The 4" Neko Fat's thick body is heavier than a standard finesse worm, so a 1/32 oz nail weight is usually enough for presentations up to 15ft. Move to a 1/16 oz nail weight for deeper water (15–35ft) or when you need a faster fall to stay in contact with the bait in current or wind.
2. Green Pumpkin for clear water, Electric Shad for reaction — Green Pumpkin (#297) is your go-to in clear to lightly stained water where a natural bottom-matching color is critical. Switch to Electric Shad (#973) or Smoke w/ Black, Blue & Chartreuse Flake (#214) when you need a reaction color or when bass are keying on shad in open water.
3. Downsize to the 4" when bites slow on the 5" — If you're fishing the 5" Neko Fat and bites slow down, switch to the 4" before changing colors or techniques. The smaller profile often triggers strikes from fish that have seen the larger bait — especially in clear water and post-frontal conditions.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between the 4" and 5" Neko Fat?
A: Both use the same Daiwa × Yamamoto thick Senko-style body and bulbous tail formula. The 4" is the compact, finesse-oriented version — ideal for clear water, smallmouth, spotted bass, and situations where a smaller profile gets more bites. The 5" has more bulk and presence for largemouth in deeper water and situations where a larger profile is more effective. Start with the 4" when conditions are toughest or when targeting smaller bass species.

Q: What nail weight size works best for the 4" Neko Fat?
A: A 1/32 oz nail weight works best for shallow to mid-depth presentations (under 15ft). Use a 1/16 oz for deeper water (15–35ft) or when you need a faster fall. Insert the nail weight into the nose (blunt end) of the worm for the best head-down fall angle.

Q: Is the 4" Neko Fat good for smallmouth bass?
A: Yes — it's an excellent smallmouth bait on Neko rig and drop shot over rock and hard bottom. The compact 4" profile matches the smaller forage smallmouth key on in clear lakes and rivers. Natural Shad (#306) and Baby Bass (#305) are top smallmouth color picks.

The Sufix Performance Lead Core Line is built for serious trollers who need precise depth control without the guesswork.

Whether you're targeting walleye, lake trout, or salmon on open water, this line puts your presentation exactly where the fish are holding.

The high-tenacity polyester braid jacket protects the lead core from abrasion and maintains a round profile for smooth line lay on the reel — critical for consistent depth performance across long trolling runs.

Key Features

Fresh Body, Same Proven Jig Head

Hookup Baits are hand-crafted in San Diego and built around a formula that works: shape, color, and action dialed in to trigger more bites. The Medium body is sized for inshore and nearshore fishing — calico bass around kelp, yellowtail on the iron, and any situation where a smaller, more natural profile gets more looks. When the body wears out, swap it onto your existing 1/8oz or 1/4oz jig head and you're back in the game. Five bodies per pack keeps you fishing all day.

Sized for Inshore, Built for Results

The Medium body fits 1/8oz and 1/4oz Hookup Baits jig heads — the go-to sizes for calico bass, smaller yellowtail, and inshore species where a compact profile matches the forage better than a larger body. Like all Hookup Baits products, it can be cast, jigged vertically, or trolled, giving you flexibility across techniques and conditions.

Why Replacement Bodies Make Sense

Soft plastic bodies take punishment — from fish, from rocks, from repeated casts through structure. Buying replacement bodies instead of whole new jigs keeps your proven jig head in rotation and saves money over time. If you've found a color that's been producing, stocking up on bodies means you never have to fish without it.

Seven Colors, One for Every Condition

• Chovy — anchovy-match profile, a staple when 'chovies are the primary forage
• Red Crab — high-contrast attractor, effective in low-vis or stained water
• Brown Gold — natural, earthy tone that works well around structure and rocky bottom
• Sardine Green — sardine imitation, strong in clear water and bright conditions
• Pearl Glow Green — subtle glow finish for low-light and deeper presentations
• Pearl White — versatile high-flash color that works across species and conditions
• Mint — translucent, subtle color for pressured fish and clear water

Three Ways to Work It

• Cast and retrieve — work it along kelp edges, structure, and rocky points
• Vertical jigging — drop to the mark and work it up through the water column
• Trolling — pull it behind the boat to cover water and locate fish

Best Conditions

• Inshore and nearshore saltwater — kelp beds, rocky structure, and sandy bottom
• Clear water situations where a natural, smaller profile gets more bites
• Any session where fish are keyed on smaller baitfish like anchovies or sardines

Best For

• Calico bass around kelp and structure on cast-and-retrieve
• Yellowtail and bonito on the iron or vertical jig
• Inshore species where a compact, natural profile outperforms larger lures
• Anglers who already fish Hookup Baits 1/8oz or 1/4oz jig heads and want to stock up on bodies

Key Features

• Brand: Hookup Baits (designed & manufactured in San Diego, CA)
• Fits: 1/8oz and 1/4oz Hookup Baits jig heads
• Pack contents: 5 replacement bodies
• Colors: Chovy, Red Crab, Brown Gold, Sardine Green, Pearl Glow Green, Pearl White, Mint
• Techniques: Cast, vertical jig, troll
• Target species: Calico bass, yellowtail, bonito, inshore species

How to Replace the Body

Watch the official Hookup Baits tutorial below for a step-by-step walkthrough on swapping out the soft body on your jig head.

Tackle Express Tips

• For calico bass around kelp, Chovy and Sardine Green are the go-to colors — match the forage that's in the water and you'll get more bites.
• Pearl Glow Green is worth keeping in your bag for early morning or late afternoon sessions when light is low — the subtle glow finish can make a real difference.
• Keep a few extra bodies in your tackle bag on every trip. Bodies wear out fast when fish are biting — having spares means you never have to slow down.

FAQ

The Evergreen JT Topwater Bait delivers a fleeing baitfish action that is awesome around pressured and weary fish. Completely silent, the Evergreen JT Topwater Bait is inspired from the balsa topwater baits that were a staple throughout the early years of competitive bass fishing.

Designed with a compact, slim body, the Evergreen JT is perfectly sized for all species of bass and stripers delivering a brisk walk the dog action with little effort. At rest, the Evergreen JT sits with a nose-up at a 45-degree angle that entices bass to strike.

Internally, the Evergreen JT is built with a fixed weighting system, it won't move,  which extends casting distance and decreases wobble, so the trebles remain straight and ready for strikes. Offered in a number of colors, the Evergreen JT delivers a killer topwater presentation that excels on pressured waters. 

The Leader That Fights Back

When finicky tuna and billfish are refusing everything else, the Aftco Saiko Pro Fluorocarbon Leader Line is the edge serious anglers reach for. Made from a 100% custom formula fluorocarbon manufactured in Japan, Saiko Pro is engineered for real-world performance — not just lab numbers. It's supple enough to tie clean knots, hard enough to resist the roughest structure, and strong enough to hold when it matters most.

Built for the Talica Series — and Every Big-Game Setup

Saiko Pro delivers industry-leading tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and break energy ratings across the full range from 12lb to 300lb test. Whether you're rigging up for yellowfin, white seabass, or blue marlin, there's a Saiko Pro size built for the job. The 12–80lb range is available in both Clear and Pink; 100–300lb is available in Clear.

Why Leader Material Actually Matters

Most fluorocarbon weakens after contact with structure, teeth, or gill plates. Saiko Pro is up to 20% stronger after abrasion than leading competitors — a critical difference when you're fighting a fish that's already tested your gear. The knot and crimp strength is unmatched, and the AFTCO SecureSpool™ system keeps your leader organized and tangle-free between trips.

Clear vs. Pink — Which to Choose

Clear is the go-to for most conditions — low visibility, high clarity water, and pressured fish. Pink shines in cloudy or stained water where it can actually reduce visibility at depth. Many offshore anglers keep both on hand and match to conditions.

The Right Pick If...

• You're targeting tuna, billfish, or inshore species that leader-shy
• You need a leader that holds up to structure, teeth, and repeated use
• You want a premium Japan-made fluorocarbon with proven offshore credentials
• You're rigging with crimps or tying direct — Saiko Pro handles both

Best Fishing Techniques

• Chunking and live bait for tuna and billfish
• Slow-pitch and vertical jigging with fluorocarbon top shots
• Inshore live bait rigs for white seabass and yellowtail
• Kite fishing and flat-line trolling leaders
• Crimped big-game rigs for 100lb+ applications

Best Conditions

• Clear to moderately stained water (use Pink in cloudy conditions)
• Offshore blue water and nearshore kelp/structure
• Any situation where fish are leader-shy or biting short

Best For

• Species: Bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, white seabass, yellowtail, billfish, marlin, wahoo
• Techniques: Live bait, chunking, jigging, trolling, kite fishing, crimped big-game rigs
• Use Cases: Offshore leader material, inshore top shots, fluorocarbon shock leaders

Key Features

• 100% custom formula fluorocarbon — made in Japan
• Up to 20% stronger after abrasion than leading competitors
• Industry-leading tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and break energy ratings
• Supple finish for easy knot tying; hard outer shell for maximum abrasion resistance
• AFTCO SecureSpool™ for tangle-free leader storage
• Available in Clear (12–300lb) and Pink (12–80lb)
• Proven on tuna, billfish, and inshore species worldwide

Models & Specs

Tackle Express Tips

• Match your leader to your main line: For braid-to-fluoro connections, use an FG knot or PR bobbin knot for maximum strength and a slim profile through the guides.
• Go heavier in structure: When fishing near kelp, rocks, or the boat hull, bump up one or two line classes — the abrasion resistance will pay off.
• Pink in the chop: On overcast days or in green water, the pink color diffuses at depth and can actually be less visible to fish than clear. Don't overlook it.

FAQ

What's the difference between the Clear and Pink versions?
Both are the same custom fluorocarbon formula. Pink is designed for cloudy or stained water conditions where it becomes less visible at depth. Clear is the standard choice for most offshore and inshore applications.

Can I use Saiko Pro with crimps?
Yes — AFTCO specifically engineered Saiko Pro for both knotted and crimped applications. The knot and crimp strength is one of its standout features, making it ideal for big-game rigs in the 100–300lb range.

Is Saiko Pro suitable for inshore fishing?
Absolutely. While it's built for offshore performance, the 12–30lb range is excellent for white seabass, yellowtail, and other inshore species that are leader-shy in clear water.

The Savage Gear Pulse Tail Shiner LT 7" are great from bass to redfish, Northern pike to speckled trout, many predators rely on some blend of vision and smell to locate prey; but across the board, vibration and water displacement play a significant role in forage location. Savage Gear capitalizes on these predatory instincts with the new family of Pulse Tail soft plastic baits.

Comprising the Pulse Tail Bluegill, Pulse Tail Shiner, Pulse Tail Mullet and Pulse Tail Baitfish, this innovative lineup excels at stimulating a predator’s feeding instinct. The first three baits are designed after particular forage, while the Pulse Tail Baitfish presents a more broadly applicable form that easily resembles a wide range of freshwater and saltwater forage species. For each of these models, the split rear fin design creates a realistic pulse swimming action that mimics the surge of a fleeing forage fish.
