Jig Heads

Ok, here's the video finally, check it out, like to hear how ya'll work the Ned in Current like this. I basically watched a little youtube, and got advice from Ham and this was the result. Notice how I work it differently after the first couple of fish!

My partner here with me put one on after the second fish I caught in the sequence, but he had 10 pound standard mono, and it moved fast in the current. I was using 8 pound nano with a 8 pound low vis green mono leader, and it seemed to work perfectly, plus with that line, and my rage rod, I could feel a lot more than he could.

Nicely done. You can clearly see the difference in your slower more subtle shaking and your friend's work. He was visibly overworking the bait.

Slower is rarely worse, lighter (line and heads) is usually better. Good stuff.

Brett, if you don't mind, what lines were you and your buddy using?

I was using 8 pound nano with an 8 pound low vis green cx premium. Mike "who is a novice bass angler to his credit here" had at least 10 maybe 12 pound clear mono. He did catch several fish on the ned himself that isn't showed here, if he sees this he'll remind me I'm sure..lol. I love this setup I got with the nano and my St. Croix Rage medium, extra fast action. Thanks to Ham for getting me on the nano..

Yes, what amazed me, the first 7 fish was out of the same hole, you'd think they'd get shaken up a bit from all the action, but they kept after it..

Your buddy caught one when he stopped working his bait to net your fish. Lol.

Can't speak to river fish, but I will spend several hours on one point, a little stretch of gravel, etc. Unlike an aggressive bait, I kind of think it turns them on to see other fish hunting the little deal.

I think I'm with you on this now, the more I caught at that one point, the hotter the bite. I didn't put it in the video, but I catch a small fish, that hit it 3 times before I hooked him..

Yes. If you drop it right back you will usually get bit again after a miss. Not always sure it is the same fish. Was especially true of kentuckies last spring.

We caught 147 smallies & goggle eyes from a 1.5 mile stretch of creek last summer. A third of them from 1 pool. It took 6hrs for us to land that many. I'm convinced you can catch every single fish from every spot if you slow down.
