Omnia collects thousands of detailed fishing reports from anglers across the country to power our local recommendations. Here are the top Rods recommendations for using the Ned Rigs technique mentioned in fishing reports from anglers near you.

St. Croix Victory Spinning Rods

$210.00 – $230.00

Reported by
Ohio Angler

Alum Creek Reservoir (OH)

Ohio Angler reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and St. Croix Victory Spinning Rods 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."
