VMC Crossover Ring

The VMC Crossover Ring is an innovative soft-plastic rigging accessory designed to give bass anglers an efficient way to rig both Wacky and Neko presentations. Featuring a unique dual-channel hood, the Crossover Ring allows anglers to change hook orientation depending on the desired rig while helping create a clean connection between the hook and soft plastic.

Designed for use with the VMC Crossover Pliers, the Crossover Ring can be stretched around soft plastic worms and positioned at the desired location. Once installed, anglers can use the dual-channel design to rig the bait for either a Wacky or Neko presentation.

For Wacky rigging, position the Crossover Ring around the center section of your soft-plastic worm and use the appropriate channel to create the desired hook orientation. This provides an efficient way to rig stick worms and other compatible soft plastics for a classic Wacky presentation.

For Neko rigging, the alternate channel allows the hook to be positioned for a Neko-style presentation. Add an appropriate nail weight to the end of the worm to create a bottom-oriented finesse presentation for targeting largemouth and smallmouth bass.

The Crossover Ring system is particularly useful for anglers who regularly switch between Wacky and Neko rigs because the same style of ring can accommodate both techniques.

Pair the rings with the VMC Crossover Pliers for quick installation. Simply place the appropriately sized Crossover Ring over the closed jaws, squeeze the handles to stretch the ring, insert the soft plastic, position the ring and release the pliers.

Selecting the correct Crossover Ring size is important for achieving a secure fit around your soft plastic.

VMC offers Crossover Rings in multiple inside diameters to accommodate different worm profiles. A 5 mm Crossover Ring works well with a typical stick bait, while the smaller 3 mm size was specifically designed for Trick Worm and slim straight-tail worm profiles.

Fisherman’s Central carries the VMC Crossover Ring in multiple sizes and colors, giving anglers options for matching different soft-plastic profiles and presentations.

The Black Crossover Rings provide a versatile dark option that pairs easily with a wide range of soft-plastic colors.

Clear Crossover Rings provide a neutral option when anglers want the ring to blend with different soft-plastic patterns.

Green Pumpkin provides another natural option that pairs particularly well with one of the most popular soft-plastic colors in bass fishing.

Use VMC Crossover Rings with compatible stick worms, finesse worms and straight-tail soft plastics for Wacky and Neko rigging.

For largemouth bass, Wacky rig soft plastics around docks, grass edges, laydowns, shallow cover and other high-percentage areas. The subtle fall and movement of the worm provide an excellent finesse presentation when bass aren’t responding to faster-moving baits.

For smallmouth bass, use Wacky and Neko presentations around rock, gravel, points, flats and offshore structure. Neko rigging is particularly useful when you want a finesse worm presentation that maintains contact with deeper structure.

The VMC Crossover Ring system provides bass anglers with a versatile rigging solution that makes it easy to keep both Wacky and Neko presentations available without relying on separate ring styles.
