I've used the Ned Rig for about a year now...I do pretty well on it just with trial and error, but I think these tips and different presentations are going to really help my cause out. Thank you for taking the time to explain it all.
What a fantastic job. The video was great I picked up an a ned jig about 4 years ago because it looked funny at the bait store, it set in my tackle box almost a year before I decided to use it . It has increased my fishing intake 75%. easily out fishes most anglers on side of me because they don't understand it yet you showed all the techniques that I came to learn the hop hop hop, the hop hop and glide, and the slow swim technique. I mainly started using these baits for Crappie but Bass will jump on the bait five to one when fishing for Crappie. These techniques have caught every fish under the sun, large catfish, giant Bass, hundreds of crappie including a park record, and a 10.7 lb bowfin. You covered every field perfectly sadly it took me 4 years to learn all this information but you definitely covered all the angles perfectly. I am a bank fisherman and love fishing the shallows, large and small ponds and Park ponds. so the technique is super excellent.
Now that I know what a Ned rid is I realize I've fished Ned rigs since I was a kid. I would put any soft plastic on a little jig head cause they were all I had😅
I've been using this "Ned Rig" since I was a kid back in the early 90's! Back then I simply used crawfish style softbaits or straight-tailed worms that were kind of torn off around the area where the large offset hooks had opened up a big hole in my soft baits and so in order to get more uses for these baits I simply rigged them up with a regular ball-head jighead. I guess since what I did wasn't shown on TV shows nobody knew there are probably hundreds of guys like me who have discovered this type of fishing well before those professional fishermen started using it and claiming it as their "invention!"
I was an 80s kid and it all started with the beetle spin and mister twister yeah it caught bluegill and perch, but it was the crossover introduction for a kid into the art of bass angling
Just started using the Ned rig nick and im so late on it but watched 6 videos and couldn’t get the information I needed. Found your video and it’s the best one by far and that’s the information I needed. Thanks
I've recently started fishing about 2-3 months ago. Once I discovered the ned rig I instantly started outfishing everyone from the bank in ponds, lakes and rivers. My PB Bass is 6.5 lbs and I've caught up to 12 fish in one outing. I noticed right away it is not very scalable for really snaggy or weedy areas. I recently started putting my TRD lures on weedless and I've started saving a lot of money on jigheads.
I'm 65, live in the Puget Sound and for some reason I never got into bass fishing but my grandson and I are tired of the lull between trout and salmon season and saltwater kayak fishing can be a bit wild even on good days in the summer so we have been expanding our fishing opportunities to include Bass, crappie and yellow perch. I, for one, enjoy in-depth videos for the educational value and if things get too slow there's always the FF button. Great video and thanks from a new sub.
Great tips. I have just started lure fishing here in the UK mainly for perch so I will give the Ned Rig a good go on the canal and river I fish. Thank you
Top drawer video brother. I started using the ned rig on UK canals just out of interest to see if it worked, it did oh boy it did. With the over hanging trees it resembles slugs and all manner of critters that drop into the food chain. It's scores me big Perch and Chub, also the occasional Pike (hence wire trace). I say if you want to learn the Ned then fish it until you learn its strengths and weaknesses. Experiment as well such as using a Ned on a Tokyo rig to keep it above silt.
I like the long format very informative videos. The whole reason I subscribed is because I was able to learn how to bass fish. I know the knowledge I'm getting from you is legit. Thanks for your work.
Ever heard of Slider Fishing? Slider fishing has been around since the 1960’s. Kedhe as a newspaperman noticed some others fishing in the shallow lakes in Oklahoma with small 3-4” cut down 6” Creme Scoundrel worms. The Slider was developed for fishing 8n the deep TVA lakes of The Mid-South, very much like California. Charlie Brewer was one of the first people who designed lures got suspended bass and wrote about the technique. BTW, he wrote a book about fishing this type of lure, with these tactics. First published in the 1970’s. Good video, excellent explanations of techniques.
those new ZMan TRD CrawZ have some nice floating pincers. good insight on flexible versus stiff hooks. I use the NedLockZ (stiff hook) in the marsh for finessin them redfish but now I know if im working a rock jetty I should probably switch to a more flexy hook to loose less gear,
Much appreciate the video. Didn’t even have a bite almost a month now, started a skirted Ned rig ( mostly fish at night , family convenience) and have had the best two weeks of the season. Not necessarily huge fish but including my Pb walleye and smallmouth, majority rock bass but assuming that’s the body of water. Either way definitely trying to learn more as it’s what’s working for me. Thanks again, and will search for more of your helpful videos
Yours and one other info sites are my favorites. I really like the way you explain in detail on things and make it feel like as if I was there with you. Thank so much.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEE THESE LONGER VIDEOS!! I FIND SOO MUCH PLEASURE IN LISTENING TO ALL THIS INFORMATION AND APPLYING IT TO MYSELF WHEN I GO OUT TO FISH
I have been doing this for a long time and catching monsters. I didn't really know that what I was doing was really a ned rig. Great video. I learned a ton!
Again this is why I watch the channel! I come for the information , technique, and times of a bait. So I don't mind longer videos, some things may take 5 min. to explain others and hour. tks!!
*I personally don't mind your long videos Nick that's why you're The Informative Fisherman, an I treat each one of your videos like it's a lecture on fishing.*
I love the information you give I’m fixing to start local tournaments and maybe work my way up the information you provide is amazing it gives me a great full picture view with what I use and what I should learn next thank you
I have a nearly 40 year old fishing book from the 80's that suggests throwing a shortened and split floating trick worm on a mushroom head during a cold front. Ned rigs are just the packaging of an idea that has been around for a very long time. So many "innovations" are just companies making specific products for things that savvy anglers were already doing by modifying existing tackle. Many smallmouth anglers in particular have been throwing Ned rigs since finesse soft plastics and standup/mushroom jigheads existed. They just didn't call them that. The stretchier, tougher plastics that happen to float were first popularized for Texas and Carolina rigging. It's not that big of a jump to stick one on a jighead. I used to do it with just the tails from lizards and beat the tar out of picky fish in small heavily pressured waters. I'd use a slider head in weeds and timber and a standard open hook jighead in clear rocky streams. *Insert Pink Floyd's "Money" here*
What a great video !!! - I fish in the UK and a lot of the tips and techniques used for Bass work really well for our predator species (Perch, Pike and Zander). Great detail and up to date information on technique, finesse and lure presentation. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. Just subscribed to the channel.
Hey IF! Thanks for keepin it real. Too many fishing channels are just being too sensational and not having real informative videos. I always enjoy the uploads. ✌
Thank you nick for all the helpful tips. And all the videos you make for us. I’ve been watching your channel ever since I started fishing in January of 2018. Haven’t caught a lot of fish. Lol. But watching your videos has definitely helped improve confidence and my ability to land more fish. Me and some of my friends have learned a lot from you. And we appreciate you nick! #teamNicktheIF
Been targeting bass for a little over a year now and recently have been thinking about giving the Ned a shot so this has been very informative! I live in Northern California as well, so it’s nice to find a new page that is somewhat local. 🤘🏾
Thank you, Sir! Please keep the tutorials coming. On ALL subjects. Can you perhaps do a series on bass angling from the bank - not from a boat. Looking forward to all the content! Best wishes from South Africa
thank you so much for this video, and for thinking about it the way you are. i completely appreciate this approach, and the opportunity to learn something in such detail. please keep making these videos for those of us who le to learn.
Theres a stream i fish that connects two different lakes. There's a bridge on it that I fish for bass, and let me tell ya, when they don't want the nightcrawler, they absolutely clap the ned rig. Especially smallmouth, which aren't something i would often catch there. Now, i catch lots of smallmouth and largemouth whenever i visit that bridge, because that ned rig just drives them crazy!
I absolutely love your informative videos, you are such a great teacher when you dive into topics like this. Im here to learn, and you do an excellent job of educating. I would love to see a video explaining matching a rod to a bait (like how the rod action can prevent losing fish) i have a couple rods but i kind of just randomly throw baits on them, id love to know which actions are better matched with different baits so i can put more fish in the boat. Great vid man👍
Been using this technique since the 90s but never have a name for it. Using 2-4 inch plastic to fish bass can catch everything in the water. I agreed with you that Ned made this style of fishing popular. The TRD ned rig won’t work for my style of fishing especially here in Northern California.
Yesterday in a tournament on our river that was drawn down three feet I caught a 4.36 smallie on a Ned rig. I used a red 1/16 head with a trd in yoga pants color just drifting with the current. Got second place and big bass.
The variability of a ned rig is amazing. I'll go from crawling it to throwing it as a finesse jerk/searchbait going down a bank. I always have a baitfish color stick and a natural greenish creature tied on.
Great vid. I’m getting back into fishing after a while off. Kept hearing about this “Ned rig”, and remembered doing this in the early 90’s. Of course we never called it this, and it still seems weird to call this a “Ned rig”. We just called it a plastic on a jig head. I don’t know who Ned is. My brother was the one that showed me this technique decades ago. No offense to Ned, but I would find it odd to name an old technique after myself.
The guy that made it famous fishing torneys in mid west early 70' was names Ned Kahne. HE didn't name it that, it worked so good, the other fishermen in torneys started calling it the Ned rig
Nick, thx for the tips! I love ned rig fishing...in future vids can u put or link the description of the baits and jigs, hooks u are talking about so it makes it easier on the viewer to find the tackle or baits u are talking about. Thk u.
So that's what I've been doing. Didn't even know it was "Ned" rigging. Water near home is clear and cool. Small baits on light lines have always just worked for me.
I literally never catch anything on ned rigs. Neko rigs all day long. But if the hook is at the very bottom of the soft plastic, bass almost never grab it by the very tip, they take it right above the head where you’d put your neko hook. I’ve seen it work back to back like bass candy though...
Really enjoyed this video some real great info i live over in scotland but im a huge fan of the ned rig and i enjoy light lure fishing and use Zmann and zoom lures i think the ned rig is very good here in the UK in winter on canals thanks for the video tight lines
Great tips! I'm going to have to try them out. Got some stuff a while back to try the ned rig but never was successful with it. I enjoy finesse tactics so I'm hoping to try it again soon and figure it out haha.
Nick that was awesome I'm glad to hear that from a northern California fisherman I haven't had much luck with the TRD ned rig so I stopped fishing it but because of you and the fact that I fish Mark Daniels I fished the product, but plenty of northern Cali fisherman call it a Gimmick. Hearing your success imma continue throwing it and working it toward the bank. I fish the delta BTW.
DeNiceGuy FinishLast thanks brother, not a gimmick at all. Ned rigging can be so deadly at times that it’s almost not even fair to the guys who don’t know the game.
Fantastic information. You nailed it. Thanks for the tips.
Ernie Sanders thank you! 🤙🏼

Grand Wonder Nailed it! True history right there.
I was an 80s kid and it all started with the beetle spin and mister twister yeah it caught bluegill and perch, but it was the crossover introduction for a kid into the art of bass angling
I was wondering the same thing.
We did this for river small mouth in the late 80’s early 90’s
Never thought it was all that revolutionary.

Thanks for the master class , I will try to apply it here in Brazil .
You said “play with your worms a lot” 😂😂😂 Love your in depth videos!
I commented the same thing and then I looked down and saw your comment and respectfully removed mine. I thought it was funny too lol

Here in the west 30 years back we used westy worms, some double hooked some homemade single hook rigs much like a Ned style rig.
What an excellent speaker you are Sir. You don't hymn n haw, you speak clearly and quickly with photos, that's what I like.
Just came across this video. Excellent advice! Thanks!

Sean Aldrich Hahahaha! Bro I heard it when I said it but then was like ah who cares 🤣
I’m just trying to get a saturated mindset
You do know he said "misinterpreted", right? Which is a word and was the correct verb to use in his sentence, to express his topic of discussion.
@@w420666 Nope. He says misinterpentated. Your brain either autocorrected that for you, or you need your ears checked.

Nick this instructional video is amazing. I've new to Ned Rigging and have watched a lot of videos but yours in top of the class. Thanks so much.
Great instructional video! Thanks for sharing your experience.
They are either suspended or on the bottom. My bottom choices are a TRD if they're not aggressive or a jig if they are. Loved the video!

Artur Tusinski thanks bro, I will be making a ton more!
I enjoy you break downs keep them coming I learn so much thanks. #newyork
Ralph Knapp III thanks bro, NY is on my places to fish!
Yesterday in a tournament on our river that was drawn down three feet I caught a 4.36 smallie on a Ned rig. I used a red 1/16 head with a trd in yoga pants color just drifting with the current. Got second place and big bass.
The variability of a ned rig is amazing. I'll go from crawling it to throwing it as a finesse jerk/searchbait going down a bank. I always have a baitfish color stick and a natural greenish creature tied on.
The misinterpretating will get you every time. I found this video very informative. I'd always watch more of these.
Hey Nick thanks for the information i have caught 45 bass on the ned rig this winter in north Carolina it just kills them.
Slaying the smallmouth in KY creeks with TRDs. Gotta try some of your tips! Thanks
Kept my attention from start to finish
Great vid.
I’m getting back into fishing after a while off.
Kept hearing about this “Ned rig”, and remembered doing this in the early 90’s.
Of course we never called it this, and it still seems weird to call this a “Ned rig”.
We just called it a plastic on a jig head.
I don’t know who Ned is. My brother was the one that showed me this technique decades ago.

good explanation on how to use the ned rig my man thanks for the tips brother
Great informative vid on the Ned Rig. This will really help me.
Thomas Flickinger glad to hear that bro, best of luck!

Very informative fantastic amount of insider information thankyou friend of jimmy hoffa!
great video lots of good information I love fishing the ned rig!
Great video, giving them the info is what it is about. I've been doing it for 12 years on RUclips
RUclips channels are getting greedy. Not only am I forced to watch youtube ads now I'm being forced to watch ads within the video. WTF is that
I love this video. Thanks for all the great info.
I actually like the longer videos. Keep em coming.
Your instruction video was excellent as I stated in my first comments above your information was so on point I made sure to subscribe thank you.
I know this is an old video. But damn, all of this information helped me bag smallmouth on Lake st Clair. Crazy smallmouth. So fun. Thanks Nick!

I couldn’t keep the Crappies off of them. People thought I was some kind of Wizard.
After watching this video, you got a new subscriber. Really enjoyed the useful information. Great job in the presentation. Thanks!
Love the Ned rig use it a lot.
Amen to the ultra finesse baits. Been throwing 2-4# for 40+ years with tiny baits for good largies. Ya I’m old 🤣
Ray C getting there myself bro 😆
Great tips! I'm going to have to try them out. Got some stuff a while back to try the ned rig but never was successful with it. I enjoy finesse tactics so I'm hoping to try it again soon and figure it out haha.
Great tips! Awesome 👍👊
