Tackle Week 2025: The year’s best new lures, including soft-plastics, jigs, jerkbaits, spoons & more

Best Specialty Hook

MAJI NEKO HOOK

Made for rigging weedless Neko rigs, the Maji Neko Hook features a wide gap and long throat, along with a keeper to prevent bass from throwing your pricey soft-plastics. Available in five sizes from #1 to #3, the hook has a special fluorine coating to make it easily penetrate—a must when you have to drive it through the soft-plastic, then into the fish’s mouth. For rigging fatter worms, the #1.5 and #2 hooks have longer shanks.
