🎣 Nikko Baits Hellgrammite Soft Plastics | How I Rig & Fish Them 🐟

Hey folks, Ross here with HikeWadePaddle! Today I’m breaking down my two favorite baits from Nikko Baits and showing exactly how I rig and fish them for bass and other predators.

We’re looking at:

Original 3-inch Hellgrammite – perfect for shallow cover, finesse presentations, and ultra-light setups.

Big Brother 4¼-inch Hellgrammite – beefier plastic, more hook options, versatile for jig heads, Texas rigs, or flipping and pitching.

I’ll show you:
✅ How to rig each bait for maximum effectiveness
✅ The best jig heads and setups for shallow and deep presentations
✅ How to work them naturally through leaves, grass, and cover
✅ Tips for ultra-light fishing and getting more bites

Whether you’re after bass in heavy cover or want a versatile soft plastic for multiple water conditions, these baits are durable, lifelike, and put fish in the boat.

📌 If you want to catch more bass, try these setups with:

Ultra-light rods (medium-light is perfect)

4–6 lb fluorocarbon line

Weedless jig heads or small Ned rig heads for finesse

Football or slider heads for heavier presentations
