Ned Rig , New Rig?

I never condemned you. Not going to argue with you either.

How is the best way to work it.

The more you work it the less success you will likely have. Kind of weird to get used to, but it's seriously a do-little-to-nothing bait when conditions call to throw it. Last time I was down our biggest fish came dead sticking it. The rest came just slow retrieving, imparting little to no action with the rod.

Also pay no attention to anybody talking about using a senko or claiming it's the same thing as a beetle. If you're not using elaztech, you're not using a ned rig. The elaztech is where the action comes from, it is buoyant and the more fish you catch with it the softer it gets. It wiggles around and floats up without you needing to do anything at all.

I'm gonna have to try this bait out. Sounds lke a fish catcher. Seems like braid would help a lot and a hook change

It'll also catch everything under the sun that's biting. I only fish braid to fluoro leader with a ned rig. 10 lb braid to 6 lb fluoro seems to be good enough, but I know some guys will scale down to 4 lb.

This same conversation came up on the table rock side. It went on for months. Any bait will work at any time any place.

I fish it on a baitcaster with 10 lb fluoro. Probably should go lighter on line. Started trying the hula worm today and it works well too.

I made something for a test of The ned type bait. I put a a cunk of Z-man on a 1/4 oz jig head like they use with the Ned Rig. It is a good bit larger than the Ned Rig and I tried it out. Maybe different head weight ( I was thinking 1/8 might help it out) etc might make a differance but over all it did not keep up with my 5/16 oz hair jig with brush hog trailer. I caught two shorts on it and 5 on the hair jig. I credit that to the flutter of the brush hog and the sink rate of the hair jig.

Of course you understand it is not a Ned Rig it is something NEW.

Just a comment on the Carolina rig. I see things called a Carolina shortcut and ez rigs sold, apparently marketed to rubes who can't figure out how to put one together. Basically the weight and bead is contained on a wire to which you tie your lines to. To me the key to feeling a bite on a c-rig is the ability for the line to slip through the weight thus not having the weight totally isolating you from the lure. I feel if you care at all about bass mortality, don't use these things, tie it up yourself like it should be with the ability to slip normally.

FLYSMALLIE-------Thank you for the suggestion. But i have sort of decided on the name BS. Sort of seems appropiate for my new dynamic lure.
