Ewg ned 1/10th or 1/6th seem to work well for me in the rivers here in Ohio. My most successful bait was the 3inch Berkley pittboss for smallies and large mouths last year.
@Valley Adventures And the spinner-jig is very much like a Blakemore RoadRunner, among others. In my mind, there comes a point where the Ned Rig isn't a Ned Rig any more, and I thought that both of these went past that point. Probably great baits, but...
So hard for me to not put Ned rig down when out fishing. I bring so much tackle with me and most of the time just stick with Ned rig as it is so effective.
Couldn't finish what I was saying yesterday, I was busy at work and got bomb barded. Anyway..... I've used the ZMan spinz a couple of times. No big deal so far though. Now as for that last technique,.... I'm already using an EWG hook in a similar fashion and bobber stopper on a 1/8oz tungsten weight. The TRD finesse worm is my choice as well but I use it for dock fishing and the docks have deep water below them.
You just gave me a good idea with the first ned rig that had the skirt. I can actually tie some on to my ned rig hooks and get crazy with it....lol Thanks for the idea!!!
Thanks for the great options....I split-shot my ned worm (z-man TRD) 100% of the time. 12lb. flourocarbon with Water Gremlin Bull Shot Bullet Split Shots and grip pin hook. The weight being away from the worm allows the worm to dart around more. I put the weight about 12-14 inches above the worm.
Those hula sticks are money🔥 I bring out so much tackle and always end up throwing the ZMAN shroom or bullet EWG Neds with a hula stick or the Big TRD!
After I thought about what you chose to use on your Ned Dred,...... I gave it a huge consideration. I think you might have something going with this idea. I've been looking for the right size bait for the Ned Dred. Something in the 2.4 to 3.0 is the range I've found that work the best. I'm a huge 6th Sense fisherman also!! Screwlock set ups are what I dig!! I have thrown a big TRD on the Ned Dred later fall & it does work. But I'm waiting for March and go after big ones I've been watching for months. This year I'm catching 2 of em no doubt
I'm going to be leaning on you boys for ned info this season. Plan on doing much more river smallmouth fishing this spring. And I've been very resistant to the ned rig. I'm much more comfortable with a 3/4 oz flipping jig in my hand. Haha
I get my old skirts and thread them in my TRD Junebug and black red- orange is a killer or other one I just fish in brown water with a lot of sand or selt in the water. You can't see 6 inches into the water how the fish even see it is crazy.
I think the straight shank work hooks like the owner cover shot work a lot better for the tiny child. The hook point angle is much better for keeping fish pinned
Absolutely! A small dab of some lock-tite super glue is a must for ensuring you don't loose your weights and other accessories! Great videos......keep 'em coming!
Thank you for all the great information and fun in your channel. No offense intended, but while these are fine looking baits, I think classifying some of them as "Ned Rig" baits is wrong. Ned Rig is divine in its simplicity: skirts, blades, etc. may catch fish, but in my opinion adding them turns that jig / plastic into something other than a Ned Rig. In fact, sticking that spinner blade into the tail would probably make the plastic topple over when the jig is at rest...at rest is when the Ned Rig is often at its best. I may be wrong on this one, as I have not tested it; I hope my point is made. Also, I think that when you start throwing 1/4 oz heads, you're no longer using a Ned Rig. It's a finesse technique; 1/4 oz is outside my definition of "finesse". Ned Kehde lists three jig head sizes in his video, with the largest being 3/32. Thank you again for a great channel; I hope you give some thought to changing the title of this video.
@@aaanglers I understand what your saying but we can agree to disagree on that one but I have to say I liked some of the options you showed in your video for alternative “Ned Rigs”
Which rig is your favorite?

Simple original Ned rig.

The more snag-proof, the better.
Finally got some Ned EWG hooks but that last one is clever as heck. Going to try that!
I really liked rig 5, that would be awesome most of the places I bank fish
So hard for me to not put Ned rig down when out fishing. I bring so much tackle with me and most of the time just stick with Ned rig as it is so effective.
Those Haki reels are one I want to get soon!
That NED DREDS is flipping awesome. Also the last Ned Rig with the nail weight. Yeah I'm for sure using superglue on that bad boy.
Striker Craw with a skirt is my favorite
Brian's Ned Dred is off the hook,..on joke intended. I got some a few months ago. This spring its on!!!!

🤯 looks like my ultralight fanny-pack is getting heavier! Great tutorial. Getting me excited for the ice to melt off in Colorado!
Last year was the first time I ever used Ned rig, it was very successful. But I hadn't a clue of what I was doing. That's for making this.
Nikko Bait's lunar color is so impressive to me. Going to have to find some of those!
Here for the Kickstarter for the new "Subtly Aggressive Ned" line of terminal tackle
🙌
Instead of using the regular ewg I like the bulletz jig head with a trd craw. Absolutely slays in the Rideau canal when you dead stick that combo

Good stuff can’t wait to get out on kayak and give them a try !!!
I fish salt water all all winter and spring in Englewood area. Any salt water stuff would be great
Good stuff. Have a great weekend!

So thanks for the suggestion
❤️
By the way,.... did you get the 3/32 oz model???
Yup
@@aaanglers best weight. I think you're gonna like it. I'm waiting for the right weather & then it's" take no prisoners!"
As much good luck as I have had Ned rigging….. I forget to use it. I’m heading to play with tackle,,, thanks Jeff :):)
❤️
I caught my first bass ever on a green pumpkin TRD with a TRD spinz.
Nice!

Great info , thanks for the videos.
You went 5:22 into the video before you got to the subject of the post...just sayin'.😂😁 I'm not hating, just pointing out you had a lot to share!🙌🏻💪🏻
Not enough for its own video. People can skip
You and Paul should check out jackall rhythm wave 2.8 it’s tiny and man the Smallies smash them
Will do!
I get my old skirts and thread them in my TRD Junebug and black red- orange is a killer or other one I just fish in brown water with a lot of sand or selt in the water. You can't see 6 inches into the water how the fish even see it is crazy.
Great video Jeff. I’ve really gotten into Ned rigs this year and I love some of these new ways to rig them. Keep up the great content as always 🎣🎣
This is definitely a technique I have t9 work on, it's just not fished alot in the south lol. I like the bladed versions those looked great
I'm lucky enough to have several lakes with fairly clean bottoms near me, so I do very well with a Ned Rig.
I think the straight shank work hooks like the owner cover shot work a lot better for the tiny child. The hook point angle is much better for keeping fish pinned
Those are really cool setups! Thanks for sharing. Love the ned!
puzzle pattern eh ... will it keep em puzzled? got me puzzled lol
This is great content!! Thank you, I can’t wait to try the ned rig ways you demonstrated. You’re awesome!! 🎣🙌
🙌
awesome video dude. I live those autism lures. They looks so cool
❤️🙌
Will super glue help keep weight/spinner in the soft bait?
Possibly! Haven’t tried
Absolutely! A small dab of some lock-tite super glue is a must for ensuring you don't loose your weights and other accessories! Great videos......keep 'em coming!
What's a good brand for ewg ned heads?
Z man
Carry super glue and a dab will keep the nail weight in longer.
I love ned rigs, they just catch fish.
Can you just use a normal nail weight that you bury in the plastic?
Yup!
i heard a rumor from someone at nikko baits about you.
🤔
@@aaanglers nothing bad. Im looking forward to seeing the finish product.

What brand are those tail spin blades?
Zman
@@aaanglers Thank you! Picked some up today.
I am an old school guy from the south never fished the Ned looks like it would always be hung up Please can you give an old guy some schooling Thanks
Use the ewg style, that gets hung up way less
I feel you on going outside the box and more power to you but most of those aren’t Ned rigs and I think you know that.
The Ned Rig is not just a single thing. It’s a whole category. Look how far that category has come since it started getting popular.
