BUYER'S GUIDE: NED RIG - BAITS, HOOKS, AND RODS FOR NED RIGGING!
Ned rigs have taken bass fishing by storm! If you're not fishing a ned rig for lethargic bass, you're losing to guys who are! What started out as a counter-culture way to catch fish on the cheap has morphed into one of the fastest growing categories in the sport. Today's buyer's guide is dedicated to this unique technique so you can see through the hype and find the key baits that consistently catch fish.
The concept behind the ned rig is very simple. An angler rigs a very small "do nothing" worm on a mushroom head so it will stand up on the bottom and fishes it with as little movement as possible. Something about this basic method will catch fish when nothing else will. Since the inception of the technique, the market has become littered with adaptations for nearly every situation. So, what makes one ned worm better than another? Are there better baits for different situations? Are there key colors? Let's find out!
Below you'll find links to the exact baits, heads, and gear discussed in the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We've included our personal preferences on weights, colors, and sizes so you know exactly what we're choosing when we hit the water.
