NEKOSOGI RR 235mm - 3oz

Phat Lab Nekosogi RR is an innovative Japanese-made swimbait designed to target large predators such as largemouth bass and pike, with outstanding results already proven on the legendary Lake Biwa.

The Nekosogi RR features a three-piece jointed body with an interchangeable tail, delivering an exceptionally realistic and natural swimming action.

Its standout feature is the exclusive removable front lip system, allowing the lure to be used in two distinct configurations:

Crankbait Mode (with lip):
With the lip installed, the lure dives into the mid-water zone and swims with a stable, well-balanced action, making it ideal for slow or steady retrieves. In this setup, it closely imitates a fleeing baitfish, effectively attracting trophy-sized predators.

Lipless Mode (without lip):
Removing the lip enhances the lure's pronounced S-shaped swimming action, creating a more responsive side-to-side movement that remains easy to control even at higher retrieve speeds. When paired with the hard tail included in the package, it becomes perfect for fast surface retrieves that trigger aggressive strikes from predatory fish. The soft tail, on the other hand, produces a smoother and more natural action, making it ideal for more technical fishing situations.

Soft and Hard Tail Options

Hard tail: specifically designed for lipless use to maximize the lure's signature S-shaped swimming action.
Soft tail: provides a more fluid and natural movement for finesse presentations.

Optional Diving Lip

Optional lip available to reach depths of up to 3 meters (10 ft).

Thanks to its exceptional versatility and the meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with Japanese lure manufacturing, the Phat Lab Nekosogi RR Swimbait is an outstanding choice for demanding anglers seeking a highly effective lure capable of performing in a wide range of fishing conditions and depths.
