Nah, they stay in the lake. Mostly. There's one on YouTube, I think. Lot of folks wouldn't believe you can pound one like that on 6#, but it works. Got tired of fish coming off with reel into them sets.

We all like what we like. Shimanos bind when wet. And Daiwas are heavy and slow. I've been buying Pfluegers lately. Last Arbor I got has big spool and is 8.5 oz vs 10.8 ounces for the Daiwa Lexa 3000 which I heard was on sale at Cabela's. my new president weighs in at 7.6oz and it is a 3000 size, loving it so far dtrs5kprs, Champ188 and Ham 3

96 CHAMP Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Any one read the article about the man and his Ned rig in the January '17 issue of Bassmaster? My largest came in late February on a jerkbait. So many options. Good luck Champ188 1

Have come to the conclusion that with the Ned, you are frequently setting into the harder, upper parts of the mouth/jaw/head. First couple of years I lost a ton of fish by trying to reel into them, like with a grub. Smalls21 1

Yeah, every time a hard puller gets off when I'm fishing the Ned I get mad at myself for not giving it a super hook set. Probably should start swinging for the fences all the time. Smalls21 1
