Best Ned Rig Jig Head

Scott Clark reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Z-Man Finesse ShroomZ Jighead on Lake De Montreville. Additional comments from this report: "Slowly hop the ned rig through the grass in 3-5'. The grass mats are easily visible. A chatterbait with a goat trailer worked over the grass caught a few, but the ned rig was more successful. "

Ben Korhonen reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Z-Man Finesse ShroomZ Jighead on Lake Vermilion. Additional comments from this report: "The fish are pushing up shallow with some fish on beds. Fish seemed to be relating to trees overhanging the water or by lay downs. Skipping a ned rig under the trees produced a lot of qual fish. "

M T reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Z-Man Finesse ShroomZ Jighead on Lake Vermilion. Additional comments from this report: "This report is for 10/1/21 to 10/2/2021. Weather is unseasonable warm and humid, with on and off rain and drizzle. Huge algae bloom with bright green near shore. I think this warmth made the fishing a bit tough as the fish don't know if fall is coming or what is going on. Started out fishing with some chatterbiats and topwater with no luck. Noticed lots of walleye anglers fishing pretty deep so tried out fishing nearby for smallies, with a little luck on the drop shot around 15 to 20 feed deep. Overall fishing seemed pretty stingy. Finally started catching them on a ned rig near docks and some flats outside of spawning bays. Overall great trip, wished we would have caught a few more."

Daniel Sidle reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Outkast Tackle Perfect Ned Head on Lake Minnetonka. Additional comments from this report: "Working the inside turns of deep weed lines in 15-19ft of water. Find the bait and you find the fish. Could pluck one with the swim jig then spot lock and pull a few more off the same school with the ned. Water temps were 74 so fish are still in late summer patterns before the water turns. Lake was pretty quiet with schools starting up! Great time to be out. "

Jeff reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Outkast Tackle Perfect Ned Head on O'Dowd Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Water was 70 degrees, the bass were taking a ned rig in 8-10ft of water with milfoil. "

Sydney Sullivan reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Outkast Tackle Perfect Ned Head on Mississippi River (Monticello to St. Cloud). Additional comments from this report: "Water went down quite a bit from the last few weeks. Bass aren’t sitting right on the shore anymore, they moved a little deeper into the current. Getting bites mainly on the ned bouncing off rocks. "

FlyFishen reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Z-Man NedlockZ HD Ned Head on Lake Harriet. Additional comments from this report: "Pop it it out the bottom."

M T reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Ned Rigs technique and Z-Man NedlockZ HD Ned Head on Medicine Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Fishing date of 5/22/2022. Cool morning, wake up temp of 48, got up to low 50's and was fairly breezy. Was out about 4 hours. Caught about 8 bass, 3-ish pike. Water temps around 60 up to about 62. Bass seemed to be spawning somewhat, but not all. Definitely caught some pre-spawners as well. Caught some fish on a jerkbait, but primarily more finesse on a ned rig around some docks. Mostly caught small and medium bass. Did see some larger fish on beds, but always tended to be after it was too late and spooked them. Then they had no interest."

Water levels were quite low since the start of summer but it’s also helping making the vegetation easier to see from the docks. We had solid hits pitching ned rigs under and into openings in the weeds and pulled some chonky catches as twilight began.
