Bill Babler Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I have really liked that little size one hook. It most always catches them right in the upper lip exactly where that brown fish in Quills pic is punctured. http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblades Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I drug one of these heads up at LOZ. It was rigged with Elastec and I like to never got it off. It has the best keeper I've found on any head for the Zman stuff. Daryk Campbell Sr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Babler Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 That's the keeper I was thinking of and it they would have the head flat at the back for the glue it would be perfect. I guess there is still a better mouse trap that could be built. http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblades Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'm not sure you'd even need to glue it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MGP Posted January 17, 2019 Members Share Posted January 17, 2019 This past summer I was running low on Ned heads but Dave was out of commission. I went looking and I found these. I wanted a light wire weed guard, #1 Mustad Ultra Point hooks and the flat back mushroom head. Ned Rig/ Midwest Finesse Rig Weedless Shroom Head (10Pack) With Mustad Hooks I've been very pleased with them. They are reasonably priced, good quality hooks & paint and the guy ships fast.

I have tried those as well and liked them except for the weedguard. After a fish or two, it's all bent to heck and a bit of a challenge to get straightened again. I prefer the mono guards. Found these recently and although I haven't had a chance to throw them yet, I like the small head, guard, and choice of hook sizes, #2, #1, and especially the 1/0. I'll be giving them a workout in 6 weeks or so, Lord willing. 😉 They're a little pricey, probably due to the use of tungsten for the head. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Keitech_Mono_Guard_Jig_Head/descpage-KEMGJHD.html Daryk Campbell Sr 1 "There was a time that I didn't fish, but I cannot remember it."

I agree with you on those heads as I have been using Aaron's heads for a year now and all I can say is I catch a hell of lot bigger bass on them than any bass I see posted here on Neds. 1/8 oz in the smallest I would ever use. I will also agree with quill those Hyabusa heads are very nice as I have been using them as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I don't throw the NED very often, but I have been using Swingoil Baits NED head with the 1/0 hook. My favorite thing about them is that if I forget to bring fresh glue, they have a bait keeper on the hook and it keeps the Elaztech on well enough to where I'm not constantly adjusting the bait after every cast. When I actually do remember to bring glue, I just nip the keeper off. The price is right as well, but he doesn't offer them in the really small sizes. I've always used 1/8oz anyways. Also, I believe they are a forum sponsor.https://www.swingoilbaits.com/NED-HEADZ-SKU-244.htm Royal Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Babler Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Just a quick deal on the weed guards. I'm going to say now that they make absolutely no difference on hangups. At times with two fishermen I fish one with a guard and one without. I also at times use a guard till it comes apart and then just clip it off. This is on the water trial and error hundreds of hours and the guard makes little or no difference on hangups. I'm not throwing it in the brush, I'm fishing Table Rock with it. What does make a difference it the weight of the head. I throw a lot of 3/16 and even up to 1/4 and if I'm fishing extremely shallow they will hang. Right now not at all. If I drop down to a 1/16 or an 1/8 very little hanging up thrown completely up on the waterline. Weight and depth is a hangup problem way more than the weed guard that if you drop behind a rock makes little or no difference anyway.
