I tried staying away from it, but the perch wants the Nedrig.. Malmö Canals

I was out today with Fredrik wanting to specifically test the Neko Rig in Malmö Canals. In theory it should be a great lure to use here with all the structure, its weedguard and that subtle yet alluring action. Unfortunately nothing happened for almost and hour so I started playing around with other lures with no luck. We met a few other anglers that had not caught anything this day either. 30-20 mins before we had to go I decided I'd give the Nedrig a try, just to confirm that fish was not biting today. Put on a Z-man Micro Wormz green pumpkin and five minutes later I had a bite. Sure as day the micro baits on a Nedrig produces bites on a tough days time and time again. Could it be a coincidence or is the Nedrig just such a reliable technique? Gear Used Shimano Vanquish CE C2500S Major Craft Solpara 0,5-10g Seaguar Hard Bass 4LB
