I have seen reports on the national fishing boards on guys catching them on the Ned up north.  I guess you'd have to swim it through those weeds.  Might be worth trying some of the small swimming baits Z-man makes.

We've sent a lot of jigs north, especially to Michigan.

Truth be told it will catch you some dinks.  My saying on that is that It gives you something to do while waiting for the big one to bite.

I should have put LOL after  my post. I know it will catch some big ones. The fish in my profile picture was caught on the NED

I figured that, but knew someone wouldn't.

I was fishing in a buddy tournament, neither of us catching anything, tied on a NED, I put a small limit in the boat in about 20 minutes. it just flat catches fish!!

For derby use, I know several guys using it to eliminate water. Idea being you can throw it, and it will tell you if any fish are on whatever you are fishing. Then you can worry about upgrading if needed (not always needed).

Big deal in terms of confidence. In my tmt experiences, lot of guys fish without confidence, confirmation, or downright scared.

About this little guy.   Serious.   The Zman  2.75 looks long.    Doty gave me one a few years back that was shorter and split.  I'm going to give the thing a try when I get back up North.   Is it a rock/mud only bait or will it work in grass/weeds/ lilly pads?   

TRD on top in GP. Cut Zinkerz on the bottom in PBJ. Anything else had probably been stretched more, cut differently, or otherwise tweaked.

That's a dandy fish Muddy.  I'm jealous.

I really like the Ned Stickz. Seems to catch more quality fish for me than the TRD. A little longer and skinnier. And has the end with fingers. Those Ned rigs are fish catching machines!! And i see some manufacturers are copying Dave's jig heads now. But I will be loyal to Dave!!

It works anywhere there's water
