Ned Rig

[Chief Grey Bear]

You need to take a chill pill or just not click on what you don't like. And that's coming from a friend.

I don't dissagree.

But I refer you to:

Have to agree there. I keep looking because I just have to see what ELSE there is to talk about.....and it just goes around in circles.

I (and others I'm sure) apparently lack the self control to just ignore it.

1. Use ONLY the elaztec stuff and PBJ is a good base color.

2. Use ONLY mushroom heads WITHOUT the collar.

3. Fish it on a semi-slack line.

WTF else is there to keep rattling on about ?

Good Lord !

Yeah I agree, if you don't like it, don't read it. Seems to be a simple concept.

[Chief Grey Bear]

As simple as the Ned itself.

But then again we have about 50 pages of that.

You'd think, wouldn't you?

Sounds reasonable in theory....but it has gone on so long that you just can't help it.

I mean, when you see a topic with 9 freaking pages you're afraid not to look, you might be missing a good fight. Then when you get to the end you're pissed because there wasn't one.

What's a Ned?

6 pages 90+ replies, im thinking the ned is hot...... If you post that you dont like it I assume you suck at life or you are lying. Just saying, if I meet you on the river, and you are actually catching a lot of fish, I will guarantee that uou have a soft plastic on a jig head (ned)........ Dang, maybe I have had one too many Miller lites.

And furthermore, if you cant catch a good fish on Ned's favorite bait.... maybe it's not the ned, it's you;);)

Never been on a hot crankbait bite? How about weightless Senkos or maybe a buzz bait or walker? Your guarantee is flawed, much as the premise that the technique is new is flawed. I will say this, however. The Elaztech makes the Ned the Ned. It is buoyant as opposed to the regular plastics. It is more durable as well. I'm not a fanboy, just one who sees what the deal is between supporters and detractors.

I have taken chunks of old plastics, craws without claws, half worms and the like, tossed them on a light head and caught panfish out of the Little Blue in KC and brownies from the Elk system, but I was fishing them aggressively, not passively like one does the Ned. I'm going to give the Ned a go this year, fished in its prescribed manner and will report my findings.

I don't think anyone is dumping on it, it is just hard for some to fathom its awesomeness due to the fact that they've tried similar stuff in the past with blah results.

After seeing the video of the thing in a swimming pool I totally "get it".

First "like", now "awesomeness".

What next, you with a ned selfie????

I can't look away, I can't help myself.

It's this or fishing shows...

I'm giving the ned a go this year too.

If the ned rig ever dies down, maybe I'll start a Manns' StingRay Grub thread. There are probably a few hundred of mine still hanging in the deep cedars in the James arm of TR.
