Title: Ned Rigs.... two new species added...
Post by: Rob on August 14, 2023, 02:02:24 PM: I was turned onto the TRD NedRigs a couple years ago by Searun and they have been great producers for Small and Large Mouth of all sizes.

I have also picked up incidental catches of:
Rainbow
Yellow Perch
BlueGill
Channel Cats

This week at Neah Bay I added Black Rockfish and Coho to the list!

Don't let your bare hooks dangle over the side.

(Yeah-they seem to attack nearly anything including the bass popper i threw at them....)

Still fun and the nedrig is outstanding regardless!

In this case it's a brand name.

What is a nedrig?

You can see the one I used in the photo.

They have a mushroom shaped head and sit straight up and down when they settle to the bottom.

The kicker is that that is not what the Ned Rig was developed for. The Ned in "Ned" Rig used the mushroom head jigs for a horizontal presentation of soft plastics in typically open water. It was about the balance of the lure for subtle manipulations during a retrieve Gopher Tackle has a bunch of different mushroom head jigs.

I also run them weightless Texas rigged for smallmouth.
They can't help but eat it.
