The C3 Baits Ice Pick 3" is a staple finesse soft plastic born from over 40 years of fishing experience on Southern California's most pressured reservoirs — Castaic Lake, Pyramid Lake, and Lake Piru. Hand-poured, packaged, and delivered by Captain Castaic himself, John Petroski, the Ice Pick features a rounded profile tapering down to a flat pin tail that creates a subtle, irresistible action in the water column. Buoyant by design, it rides naturally on a dropshot or ball head jig, triggering bites when other baits can't.

Unlike a narrower profile bait, the Ice Pick's rounded body gives it just enough presence to be seen while staying light and natural — exactly what finicky bass in clear, pressured water demand. Change colors to match the hatch and this bait will produce year-round.

Key Features

• 3" buoyant pin tail profile — natural, light action in the water column

The C3 Baits Jobu 4" is a precision-crafted finesse worm born from decades of experience on Southern California's most pressured bass fisheries. Created by John Petroski — a.k.a. Captain Castaic — the Jobu was designed specifically for the clear, heavily fished waters of Castaic Lake and the Clearwater reservoirs, where finesse presentation is the difference between a limit and a skunk. The result is a 4" worm with an unmatched level of detail, action, and versatility that produces bites when nothing else will.

Whether you're fishing a dropshot on a deep main lake point, dragging a Carolina rig along a rocky flat, or shaking a shaky head in the shallows, the Jobu delivers the subtle, lifelike action that triggers strikes from finicky bass.

Why Buy the Daiwa Yamamoto Neko Fat 5"?

The Daiwa Yamamoto Neko Fat 5" is the result of two legendary fishing brands combining their best — Daiwa's precision detailing and Yamamoto's legendary salt-impregnated soft plastic formula. The result is a thick-bodied, 5-inch Neko rig worm with a Senko-style body and a unique bulbous tail that produces a quivering, head-down action that bass simply can't resist. The nail weight in the nose gives you the ability to use heavier gear and reach fish in deeper water where weightless worms aren't practical. 10 per pack, 11 proven Yamamoto colors.

Main Use & Benefit

A 5-inch 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, making it more versatile than a standard weightless worm.

Problem It Solves

Standard weightless finesse worms can't reach fish in deeper water and require ultra-light gear that limits hookset power. The Neko Fat's thick body and nail weight setup lets you fish a finesse presentation on heavier gear, reach fish at depth, and still produce the subtle, quivering action that triggers strikes from finicky bass in clear water and pressured fisheries.

Advantages

• ✅ 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
• ✅ 11 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

Reach for the Neko Fat when you need a finesse presentation that can reach fish deeper than 15 feet, when standard weightless worms aren't getting to the strike zone, or when you want the Neko rig's head-down quiver with more body bulk and presence than a standard finesse worm. It's equally effective on wacky rig for shallow presentations and on Neko rig for deep 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 or #2/0 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, 12–24" above the weight; the bulbous tail quivers naturally in the strike zone
• Shaky Head — thread onto a 3/16–1/4 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 3/0–4/0 EWG hook for a slow-falling presentation through sparse cover

Best Conditions

• Clear water (visibility 2ft+) where a natural, subtle presentation is most effective
• Deep structure (15–40ft) 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 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 20ft. Move to a 1/16 oz nail weight for deeper water (20–40ft) or when you need a faster fall to stay in contact with the bait in current or wind.
2. Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake for most situations — Green Pumpkin w/ Black Flake (#297) is your go-to in clear to lightly stained water. Switch to Fading Watermelon (#194) in clear water with a natural bottom, and use Blue Pearl w/ Silver Flake (#031) when bass are keying on shad in open water.
3. Use an O-ring for wacky rigging — The Neko Fat's thicker body benefits from an O-ring on wacky rig to extend bait life and keep the hook centered. You'll get 3–5x more casts per worm and the action is identical. The thick body also produces a more pronounced, symmetrical wiggle than a standard stick bait on the fall.

FAQ

Q: What makes the Neko Fat different from a standard Neko worm?
A: The Neko Fat has a thicker, Senko-style body with a unique bulbous tail — giving it more bulk and a different action profile than a standard straight-tail Neko worm. The bulbous tail quivers distinctly on the fall and at rest, creating a different visual trigger that can outperform standard Neko worms when bass have seen a lot of finesse presentations.

Q: What nail weight size works best for the Neko Fat 5"?
A: A 1/32 oz nail weight works best for shallow to mid-depth presentations (under 20ft). Use a 1/16 oz for deeper water (20–40ft) 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 Neko Fat good for wacky rigging?
A: Yes — the thick Senko-style body makes it an excellent wacky rig bait. Hook through the center with a #1/0 wacky hook and use an O-ring to extend bait life. The thick body produces a pronounced, symmetrical wiggle on the fall that's very similar to the original Yamamoto Senko on a wacky rig.

A collaboration between Daiwa's precision engineering and Gary Yamamoto's legendary soft plastic expertise, the Daiwa Yamamoto Neko Macho 4.5" combines a high-density body with a bulbous tail for a larger, heavier profile that performs across a wider range of bass fishing techniques than a standard finesse worm. The high-density formulation gives the bait more weight and substance for a larger profile offering — making it versatile enough for standard soft plastic presentations like Texas rigs and Carolina rigs, while the larger size and density also make it an effective choice for heavier power fishing applications like punching heavy cover and flipping.

The bulbous tail produces a distinct action on the fall and during the pause that triggers strikes from bass that have seen conventional straight-tail worms. 

Key Features

• Daiwa + Gary Yamamoto Collaboration — Combines Daiwa's precision detailing with Gary Yamamoto's legendary soft plastic formulation; the same Yamamoto material quality trusted by tournament bass anglers in a purpose-designed Neko Macho profile.
• High-Density Body — Denser formulation than standard soft plastic worms provides more weight and substance for a larger profile; sinks faster and stays in the strike zone longer on the fall.
• Bulbous Tail — Distinctive bulbous tail produces a unique action on the fall and during the pause that differs from conventional straight-tail worms; triggers strikes from bass that have seen standard finesse worm presentations.
• Versatile Rigging — Effective on Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, neko rigs, wacky rigs, punch rigs, and flipping presentations; one bait that covers finesse through power fishing applications.
• 5 Proven Bass Colors — Natural forage imitations and proven attractor patterns covering clear water through stained water conditions.

Product Specifications

Color Guide

• Green Pumpkin — The universal bass color; natural crawfish and baitfish imitation effective in clear to lightly stained water across all seasons and techniques.
• Watermelon Copper Orange with Red Flake — Natural watermelon base with copper orange and red flake for added flash; effective in clear water where subtle color variation triggers strikes from pressured bass.
• Black and Blue — High-contrast dark attractor; most effective in stained or off-color water and low-light conditions where a dark silhouette is more visible to bass.
• Junebug — Dark purple/black attractor; proven in stained water and night fishing where dark colors produce a strong silhouette and trigger reaction strikes.
• Natural Shad — Translucent shad imitation; best in clear water where bass are keying on shad as primary forage; effective on neko and wacky rigs in open water.

Best For

• Neko & Wacky Rig — High-density body and bulbous tail produce a distinct fall action on neko and wacky rigs; heavier than standard finesse worms for a faster sink rate and more pronounced action.
• Texas & Carolina Rig — Larger profile and high-density formulation make the Neko Macho effective on Texas and Carolina rigs for bass in open water and around structure.
• Punching & Flipping — High-density body and larger profile make it an effective punch rig and flipping bait for bass in heavy cover; penetrates mats and vegetation more effectively than lighter soft plastics.
• Tournament Bass Fishing — Yamamoto soft plastic quality and Daiwa precision detailing in a versatile profile that covers multiple techniques with a single bait.
