Diawa Neko Fat

The Diawa Neko Fat 4″ is a phenomenally good fishing lure on Lake Mohave. The best way to fish it is neko style. The Neko Rig works so well because you can fish both shallow and deep effectively on Lake Mohave. The bass generally move shallow and deep quite consistently, so your ability to adapt quickly with this set up is awesome. It’s a fish catcher.

Here’s a list of the critical pieces for fishing this lure, so you can get set up effectively. These little things will help you catch more fish.

• Spinning Rod & Reel – You need a long stout spinning rod to make extra long casts on this lake with this lure. The water is extremely clear, and if you can’t make a cast further than 20 feet from your boat you won’t catch as many fish.
• 8lbs 100% Flourocarbon Line – Whatever you do, don’t make the mistake of having the wrong line. The extremely clear water makes it crucial that you have as invisible a line as possible. Yet, you don’t want to compromise on strength because the bass at Lake Mohave are fierce. 8lbs. 100% flourcarbon is the best choice. Use at least a 20 – 30 foot leader if you decide to add it to your main line.
• Size 2 Gamakatsu Stinger Hook – This is the right hook to make a big difference in how your presentation looks. This hook keeps things small and compact. Plus, you will get a high hook up percentage when the bass chomp down on your bait.
• Clear Wacky Rings – A wacky ring helps keep the hook in your lure at the right position. Use a clear color ring to make your bait look more natural to get more bites.
• Nail Weight 1/8 oz. – The key to the perfect nail weight is one that is heavy enough to get you down deep pretty fast, but not to heavy to allow for the natural fall of the bait. The 1/8 oz seems to be perfect to fit both qualifications.

Evergreen Shower Blows

The Evergreen Shower Blows is a fantastic topwater bait for catching bass on Lake Mohave. Because the water is so clear you need a super natural color to be able to draw up a strike. I’ve seen bass come up on Lake Mohave, and look at my topwater and go back down because it wasn’t natural enough. The best color is Natural Gill in the Evergreen Shower Blows line up. This topwater bait works best on lake mohave in low-light conditions and warmer water temperatures. When the water temperature is around 68+, and it’s early morning, cloudy, or late evening throw this bait out on the long points and get stoked. Get it to walk back and forth slashing on top of the water for optimal results.

Check out this list of the key components you need to fish this bait properly on Lake Mohave to help you get more big bass blow ups.

• Baitcasting Rod & Reel – Extremely far casting ability is critical for catching fish on Lake Mohave with the Evergreen Shower Blows. The water is too clear. A baitcasting rod and reel is optimal for getting long bomb casts with this lure.
• 10lbs 100% Fluorocarbon Line – Everything you read will tell you that you shouldn’t use fluorocarbon line with top-water because it sinks. Yet, this is there reason why the Evergreen S.B. is so awesome. You can walk it and use it effectively on the nearly invisible 100% fluorocarbon line. The right line makes all the difference because of the clear water at Lake Mohave.
• Natural Gill Shower Blows – This color is super natural, and on a clear lake natural real looking lures get more bites.

Keitech Sexy Impact

The Keitech Sexy Impact is an incredible bait for fishing Lake Mohave. I remember a time where we could see a school of smallmouth off of a point, and we literally tried 10 different baits to get them to bite. The only thing that got them to chomp was this lure. One of my favorite ways to use this bait is on a carolina rig. This bait is really small, and light. This makes the carolina rig ideal for being able to cast the sexy impact far, and get down deep fast. This set up really works well when the fish are sitting 15 feet or deeper in the lake. Work it slow for optimal results.

This is a bulleted list of what you need for fishing the keitech sexy impact well on Lake Mohave with a Carolina Rig.

• Baitcasting Rod & Reel – Extremely far casting ability is essential for catching fish on Lake Mohave with a Carolina Rigged Keitech Sexy Impact. You need a good long bait casting rod, and a high performance baitcasting reel to make it happen easily.
• 1/2 oz Tungsten Weight – Tungsten is dense, and helps you to cast a long way. You need a weight that get’s down fast, but isn’t so heavy that you hang it up all the time. The 1/2 oz size seems to get the job done perfectly.
• Barrel Swivel – A barrel swivel prevents your line from twisting, and blocks the weight from sliding down next to your lure when carolina rigging a keitech sexy impact. Use a natural color, to get more bites.
• Glass Bead – The glass bead bumping the tungsten weight makes a little click to help the fish locate your bait.
• Rubber Weight Stopper – The rubber weight stopper prevents line breaks by protecting your knot on the front of your barrel swivel. The glass bead and tungsten weight will beat your line up, if you are not careful, and you will lose fish.
• 2/0 Owner Twist Lock Hook – This hook size is ideal to fit naturally weed-less on the bait and get solid hook ups for the bass. Put your Ketiech Sexy impact on this hook weightless texas style, and catch some fish with it on the carolina rig.
• 12 lbs Fluorocarbon Line – You need something a little stronger to avoid getting banged up and breaking off. You also need a natural clear presentation. To accomplish both of these things 12 lbs flourcarbon works perfectly.
• Keitech Sexy Impact – This lure in green pumpkin looks so natural with it’s two tone coloring. It’s an offering the bass love at Lake Mohave.
