Ontario, Calf. - FishLab Tackle introduces the Nature Series Neko Flex Shad, a next-generation soft bait designed to push the limits of traditional finesse presentations. Built to handle the demands of modern bass fishing, the Neko Flex Shad blends lifelike design, internal reinforcement, and multi-technique versatility into one highly durable platform.
Engineered specifically for Neko rigging, the bait features a stainless-steel internal spine that significantly increases durability when nose-weighted. This internal structure helps eliminate the tearing and short lifespan commonly associated with standard soft plastics, allowing anglers to fish longer and more aggressively without constantly replacing baits.
A key innovation of the Neko Flex Shad is its integrated spring system, which runs along the rigging dots on the side of the bait. This design allows anglers to quickly and securely rig the bait while maintaining structural integrity. The spring is strategically positioned so it does not interfere with jighead rigging or dropshot nose rigging, giving anglers the freedom to adapt the bait across multiple techniques without compromise.
In the water, the Neko Flex Shad produces a strong, consistent vibration more commonly associated with a lipless crankbait, creating a pronounced presence that helps draw fish in from a distance. Whether swam through the mid water column or worked methodically along the bottom, the bait maintains a natural yet aggressive action that triggers bites in both freshwater and inshore environments.
Designed to be fished with a small nail weight inserted into the nose, the Neko Flex Shad maintains a balanced posture that enhances its action while keeping it in the strike zone longer. Available in 3", 4", and 5" sizes and offered in a wide range of proven colors, the bait can be dialed in to match local forage and target a variety of gamefish.
