Ned jig heads

[buzzbaitr]

Hello everyone.  It has been a long time since I posted on the forum. I used to buy my Ned heads from dtr5kprs but I haven't received a reply from him. Is he still on this site?  I hope he is well. Anyway does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy the best Ned heads? I am looking for 1/8 and 1/16 Oz with a weed guard. Any advice would be great. Thanks

Dave gets very busy this time of year with youth football. I bet he will get back with you soon.

This is good to hear. I was a little concerned. Thanks so much for letting me know.

I would have felt a great disturbance in the Force if he had quit making them.

so far so good

Dave may have them listed on ebay now too.

Hello everybody.  I'm new to posting on oa, but I have learned a lot from everybody here and wanted to say THANK YOU!! The ned rig is one of my favorite tools thanks to you. I don't want to take any business away from fellow members selling these, but I seen this post as a great opportunity to let people know about the ned rigs I sell.  I make lead free ned rigs with a bismuth/tin alloy.  This alloy is slightly lighter than lead.  This allows you to fish a little larger head, yet keep that tantalizing, slow sink rate.  I can do whatever hooks, sizes, or colors people want. I powder coat and temper the paint on the jigs by baking them.  I can add stainless steel wire keepers to help hold your trailer of choice.  These keepers are compatable with elastec style baits.  I usually use a drop of superglue to help bond the trailer to the jig head. The true ned guys may slaughter me, but I've had a lot of success and have received a lot of positive feedback on some of my non-traditional hook options.  Some of which include: #1 sickle hooks, 1/0 hooks, 3/0 hooks, and skirted finesse jigs with the same style head.  I can go as heavy as 1/4 oz.  Like I said earlier, I understand that some of these options don't fit the "traditional" ned rig theory, but they catch fish!!  I've even been using a small ned with a #2 sickle hook and catching lots of smallies in the river with my 7wt fly rod.  Sorry, figured I would make the fly fisherman mad also! The possibilities on these jigs are endless.  If interested, please send me a message or email me at jadesjigs@yahoo.com  Once again, Thanks for everything you guys do for the sport!!!

This is a picture of a monster smallie one of my customers sent me today with one of my skirted jigs.   Too bad I can't take credit for it .
