Back In The Water With The Ned Rig

[Ham]

I'm hope to get back that way sometime in the next week, and i'm gonna test a theory just for my own curiosity. Last year I fished this stretch with a friend who is a Grub fanatic. He outcaught me that day, fishing that grub a lot like I did here, he wasn't shaking the rod like that, but drifting it basically. It's hard to believe that you couldn't have similar results with the Grub. I think I know the answer will be no when I try this, but this Ned Rig still baffles me, it's hard to believe even after experiencing hot action like this, in the dead of winter to top it off..lol. I"m gonna rig up two rods one with the ned and one with a grub, and see and video the difference, might be another fun video..

After catching a few hundred fish (conservative estimate) on it last year, I am starting to have a hard time throwing other baits. You realize that you are costing yourself fish by trying other lures. Basically if the water is above 38 degrees or so AND not awful muddy, you ought to throw the Ned a bit.

Nice video LRF, you really put it on your partner. It can happen that way with the Ned, very minor differences in retrieve, line and size of jig head can be huge.

Good job on the second video Dave. The swimming action really shows how the little rig can move.

LOL, yeah after watching it, I kinda feel bad about that, but I kinda got in the zone, had that look in the eye.. His line was a lot of the problem, we were swinging that in the current, but mine was dragging along the bottom where I could do the twitch thing, his was just swinging to fast. He said he's already got some lighter line..
