Best Ned Rig Jig Head

Brendan Best reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Z-Man Finesse ShroomZ Jighead on Belleville Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Skipping under trees and docks. Look for shaded areas with 3-6ft of water. In the morning you can look for more open areas with rocks, but once the sun comes up go straight for shade and you will catch the bass."

Elias Ward reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Z-Man Finesse ShroomZ Jighead on Youghiogheny River Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Caught this smallmouth by letting the ned rig drift in a current slack behind a boulder after missing a strike on the Squarebill crankbait. This was in the river below the lake. You can choose different colors based on the water clarity that day, but I recommend any of the natural craw or minnow imitation colors for clear water applications like this."

Ohio Angler reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Z-Man NedlockZ HD Ned Head on Alum Creek Reservoir. Additional comments from this report: "What an incredible weekend of fishing. The smallmouth were on fire. Using the standard Ned Rig with Green Pumpkin, the smallmouth would continually crush the rig. You could work this anywhere you had a decent drop-off ledge. Use your electronics to target these areas. Look for schools of bass and take your time. Don't rush it and use a lightweight ned head."

Omnia Fishing reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Outkast Tackle Perfect Ned Head on Brookville Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Large points that sit farther out in the main lake basin are a great pre-spawn area to target, especially when there are shallow spawning areas near. Make a long cast and drag or hop the ned rig along the bottom. "

Powder reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Outkast Tackle Perfect Ned Head on Old Hickory Lake. Additional comments from this report: "For late-summer smallies, target the bluff walls on the outside of a channel swing with a Ned rig. I like the 1/8 oz Outkast Ned Heads because they fall slowly. On the initial fall, watch your line and keep your rod positioned for a good hook set! As a secondary Ned rig target, look for shallow water (2-6’) with a rocky bottom, especially in or near creek mouths. Follow the baitfish (minnows and shad) and pitch around them. Work it slowly and don’t be afraid to let the jig sit on the bottom for a bit between twitches. I landed the smallmouth in the attached picture along a bluff wall with a 1/8 oz Outkast Ned Head and a Missile Ned Bomb 3 1/4”. "

We caught some bigger largemouth up shallow in the docks staging to spawn but there weren't enough to fish in the tournament so we backed up to the points and threw ned rigs for spotted bass. If you could get the bait in front of them then they were aggressive and would bite.
