fishingaddiction Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Excellent tutorial James and Dave. Steve, you can take this info to the Bank. A couple of other things worth mentioning. When I was convinced that the Ned Rig was the real deal and I needed to add that technique to the arsenal, I went fishing with just a couple of spinning rigs, mushroom head jigs and ZinkerZ's in various colors. This was the only thing I fished with for that day. It was so worth it and I caught fish all day long. On the stick bait, be sure to jerk it on a slack line. This will get the best side to side wobble of the bait. You will need to experiment on how hard to jerk the bait, some days they want it jerked hard (warmer water temps), some days not so much (colder water temps). Champ may have covered this, but very important to catching success. Good luck. Born to Fish. Forced to Work.
dtrs5kprs Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 The cadence and delay are the hardest parts to get right on the stick. On rare days they will eat it regardless, but most days those are the variables that make a difference. Much more than brand or color of stick. Fine tune those after getting the jerk and pause dialed in.
David Unnerstall Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I've all but hung up the shaky heads, gitzits, & trick worms. I bought a bunch of shaky-heads last year and have hardly used them. Now I am going to the Fishing Show in Collinsville once I escape this cubicle and look to stock up on NED rigs. What will it be next year!

The Ned Rig will stand the test of time, just like all other really good lures. Born to Fish. Forced to Work.

Now I am going to the Fishing Show in Collinsville once I escape this cubicle and look to stock up on NED rigs. What will it be next year! Despite the Ned I still fish a shakey head, but tend to fish a bigger version these days. Usually a 1/4-3/8oz FB head and a full length zinkerz or zero. Ned Rig parts can be hard to come by. Still not a lot of good options on the heads from big companies.
LD Fisher Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Great info guys!!! thanks for sharing. I've had some success with the Ned rig from time to time, but I might as well rap my line around a stick and throw it as a jerk or stick bait!! Thanks for the tutorial!! I'll have to cut and paste this until I can put it to use (bad memory)!

fishingaddiction Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Blue bandit is hard to beat. Good catch. Is that a recent pic? Born to Fish. Forced to Work.
Members RogueAgent Posted January 2, 2015 Members Posted January 2, 2015 Blue bandit is hard to beat. Good catch. Is that a recent pic? Yes, this was the Monday after opening weekend of firearms deer season in November near the dam. If you look closely you can see the ice in my guides. I posted about it in the LOZ fourm but never got around to sharing pictures. We caught several green fish on the bandit too but turned them all back. Broke one biggun off on a dock cable but this one didn't get away.
