Maximize your presentation and stop losing traditional nail weights with the NeoBassTackle War Dagger. Engineered from precision die-cast alloy, these innovative weights feature a unique integrated hook slot. Simply drive the barbed shaft into your soft plastic, pass your hook directly through the open slot, and mechanically lock your weight, hook, and bait together. Whether you are aiming for a suspended horizontal fall or a nose-down bottom bouncing action, the aggressive barbs ensure the War Dagger stays exactly where you bury it—even after aggressive strikes. Optimized for Versatile Rigging: • Soft Stick Baits: Build the ultimate Neko rig or a heavier weighted wacky presentation. By threading your hook through the War Dagger's slot, you'll never accidentally cast off your nail sinker again. • Soft Jerkbaits: Insert directly into the nose or belly to create a perfectly balanced, fast-sinking profile that maintains its erratic, darting action without needing a bulky external weight. • Coikes & Urchin Baits: Add critical internal mass to compact, highly-textured profiles like coikes and urchin baits. This allows for deeper, more precise flipping and pitching while keeping the added bulk entirely hidden inside the bait. Note: The hook slot is designed to accommodate standard to medium wire hooks. Extremely thick-gauge or oversized hooks may not clear the opening.
