Ha, the turd bait. Great video Glenn thanks! I've been wondering the nuances of the Ned Rig, and got it here, all in once nice video

Dyerbassman reply :

Thanks Glenn! Great information

DocNsanE reply :

Great video Glenn, thanks for sharing!

Question to all those who have fished the ned rig using senkos and what not and using the TRD: how has the move to the Z-Man lures affected your success?

The Zman products have more subtle movements. I'm not saying that they catch a ton of fish over other senko style baits, but the reason I spend my money on them is the fact that I can use 1 TRD for 100 fish compared to 5-10 maybe on any other senko style plastic.

DocNsanE reply :

good enough for me

You are correct, it has taken the fishing world by storm. It's a cool and fun little rig. Also works for stocked trout.

Great video! i`ll be trying the ned rig soon.

Excellent video!

livemusic reply :

I am quite enamored with the ned rig and finesse fishing, as I prefer to catch quantities instead of drooling for the hawgs. I *so* want to fish it hook-exposed but I can't due to the cover in my lakes. I caught some bass (and even bream) on the Zman setup with Shrrom jig and TRD with exposed hook but it was hanging up a lot and I have since tried to use weedless hooks with the metal thingy that goes over the hook point. I have never done well in my lakes with that because it attracts moss, grass, algae. Now, I am trying Texas rig, using a "slider" type jig head and it seems to work fine but, I am missing fish. The hook is not coming out well enough and I hate to miss fish! But, it could be bream or jackfish (pickerel), too. I really am in a quest for a totally weedless ned rig to where I can get good hookups.

I would love to find some bass in an area I could use ned rig with exposed hook!

Great video. Thanks Glenn

Great video. Will def try to rig out!

Preytorien reply :

I see that you're using the 1/10oz version Shroomz head....is that the size you'd recommend for a nice slow fall?

stkbassn reply :

Yes, Glenn did an excellent job and I can't wait to see more from him. He certainly made me a believer with his simple approach and detailed explanation about the components and why they do what they do so well. I've seen some folks mention they are going to piece together their own ned rig but I'm following his advice and getting exactly what he suggested. It sounds like an easy way for me to slowly get into finesse fishing. It's not something I do now or have enjoyed in the past but this could change my mind. I will try it.

My question is with the heads being so light anyway, will the weights make that much of a difference. Is there a "go to" weight that will get it done without worrying about changing for this or that...I just want to tie one on and experiment with the TRD colors only and not worry so much about weight...

Excellent video, Glenn. I will be trying out the Ned Rig soon!

BrianinMD reply :

I have been doing very well so far this year trying it, been using 3/32oz mushroom heads.

My only issue is the exposed hook, still trying to figure out a weedguard which doesn't kill the action.

Ringonu reply :

I have been using the 1/16 (i think) in green pumpkin. The zman brand. I have the 1/6 oz but it is too heavy. I got mine from bass pro and it was the lightest and heaviest weights available that I chose. The lighter the better after using them for a while. It has been THE confidence bait for me since getting back into fishing.

I was wondering the same thing...

While you will find some variation among regular Ned Rig users depending upon their location and water being fished, I think you'll find most guys would pin the 1/16-oz. head as the standard. If you only go with one, choose it. Keep in mind the original concept is based upon finding bass in shallow water (usually 8' - 10' or less) year round. The 1/10-oz or 3/32-oz (depending upon brand) is like a rock to most users except under very windy conditions, when fishing deeper than 15' (a rarity except in some very clear Ozark waters), or when straight swimming a grub. We own them "just in case," but rarely ever go that heavy. Much more likely to throw a 1/32-oz before we'd throw a 3/32-oz. in most instances. Remember, "no feel" - the lightest you can get by with is best in nearly all instances.

Excellent advice, thanks T9. Looks like I'll start out learning/using the 1/16oz

Bluebasser86 reply :

I use the 1/16oz and 3/32oz almost 100% of the time. Occasionally I'll fish water in the 15-25' range when I'll go to the 1/8oz but even then I'll try the lighter head first if the wind isn't bad. The Ned Rig accounts for a lot of fish for me each year, especially smallmouth.

jbw252 reply :

Great video, Glen. I'll have to give the Ned Rig a try. Thanks for sharing & having the best bass fishing site on the web.

If you want a really slow fall, then use the 1/15oz head. However it's not about what I want, it's what the fish want. And on the day we were shooting, the fish wanted a faster fall. So I used the 1/10th oz. Note, too, that it was windy and I was fishing in 17' of water. Those conditions necessitate a heavier jighead.

The jighead also comes in a 1/6th oz size for a fall faster than the 1/10th oz head.

That said, that's still a very light weight, so everything i said in the video still applies.

Hope that helps!

Glenn

It does, thank you sir, I appreciate it!

IndyGlockMan reply :

I foresee a Ned rig in my future!

WdyCrankbait reply :

Great video, Thanks for posting it! (golf clap)

I would wonder if this was perfected to a bigger "TRD," (yes, turd joke implied) how it would do say flipped docks with a 3/8oz weight and a longer bait if a weed guard did not hinder the action enough.

herbu reply :

Although this video and thread go back to May, I just recently saw it. Ordered the jigs and trds from TW. Went to BPS looking at new rods & reels for this and regular drop shots. When I mentioned the Ned Rig to the guy at BPS, he said there had really been a run on them lately. He commented somebody must have won a tournament with it, or featured it on a TV show. Said he could always tell when one of those things happened because of a sudden run on a particular bait or rig.

I got my stuff because of this thread and video(s). Anybody aware of something more recent that could have spurred this activity at a BPS in NC?

It's been a pretty hot topic across the country really. It's just a very effective way to catch fish at certain times. It's not really a tournament bait for the most part, although it can be great to fill out a limit when it's tough.

BassThumb reply :

Nice video, Glenn.

I've been away from BR for too long!

Crowcommander reply :

Thanks Glen for the info.Very down to earth and straight forward.Please put some tan in a can on them legs.Looks like you've been in a flour barrel!!

Molay1292 reply :

Really nice job on the video. The only thing I noticed was a comment about line selection. In particular FC line absorbing water. FC line does not absorb or hold water, perhaps you meant to say nylon mono filament.

Great job introducing those that are new to the Ned.

Glenn reply :

The whole water absorbing thing has been discussed ad nauseam already. I misspoke, and corrected numerously since. Old news. (this video was posted over a year ago)

I'll take the chicken leg comment as a compliment. It's a testimony to my sunscreen, which I cover head to toe!

pbrussell reply :

Ah yes, us mid westerners like us the ned rig. Had the opportunity to fish with Ned. Talk about a walking encyclopedia of bass knowledge. Good guy, good technique.

GetBent reply :

Some Ned rig success. I didn't take pics of all the crappie. I had about 12.
