A Ned Rig Setup that Bass can't resist

[@vovo1730]

Roland Martin, thank you for your service.

[@Killacorn]

Somebody once told me that Roland never uses new techniques, I said that's because he's done them all before they had fancy names.

[@simplyengineering2350]

Back then they didnt have names for rigs. People just held up their rig and said "like this".

[@thesteveshowfoodfestroadtest]

Great tips, Roland! Subbed!

[@donaldparks8324]

Hi Roland, I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge all these years. I was a live bait fisherman until I saw the Bassmasters on TV. My dad and uncle first took me fishing when I was four in 1965. He and my uncle were live bait guys from back in the day. My dad served in Korea and my uncle in WWII. They went fishing for relaxation and catching something was a plus, not the determining factor whether they had a good time. I stopped fishing after joining the navy. When my dad passed I went to Florida for the service and the next day my uncle took me fishing to remember the old times. I've been fishing ever since and passed it on to my daughter. I make it a point before putting my boat in to walk around a see if anyone needs any help. Nothing better than meeting a parent that doesn't know the first thing about fishing, but is taking their child fishing because they wanted to go. I've bailed on an entire day of fishing to help kids be successful in catching their first fish. That's better than catching a five-pounder anytime. Again, THANKS!

[@corysturgis6660]

Dang right it is. All about the next generation of anglers . Thank you

[@fishingwithtravman6844]

Who in the world would dislike your video Roland you are really the Bassmaster and I soak in all your information thank you

[@ronnetaylor7866]

The Roland Rig sounds a lot better. I enjoy all your videos roland. I've been fishing for 50yrs and learn something new from your videos every time i watch you on youtube. Thanks for your time!

[@shawnbeck2303]

Is Roland The "Best Teacher" on Bass fishing. You have ever heard. I watched a video on the Devil's Horse and how to fish it. I found one in my Antique lure cabinet. Put updated sharp hooks on it. Man, Son that bait is as good or better than a Whopper Plopper. I painted the belly orange. The bass never got off this bait. The hooks I used are Mustad #4's. Use a small swivel up front. Those hooks are sticky. So be careful! But the sound and splashing off the Devil's Horse calls them bass up and Bam! Thank you Roland! Job well done. Shawn.

[@thesteveshowfoodfestroadtest]

Just started fishing again after 40 years off! ONLY vid out there that confirmed the round lead head jigs we used back then with jelly plastics ARE THE SAME AS A NED RIG! Thanks so much!

[@magellanstravels]

Thanks for all your advise and help through all the years!! I’ll always remember Saturday mornings espn outdoors in the late 80’s through the 90’s

[@mnfarris55]

My Hero! Roland's level of Cool is timeless.

[@ShaneJMcNair]

Thanks Roland, I grew up watching your show... I fished with my grandfather, but never bass fished until 3 years ago. It's fun being a kid all over again and learning something new at 57...

[@georgeneckrock7575]

What an incredible library of knowledge. I remember you waiting through alligator infested water pulling big bass out of the Everglades or Lake Okeechobee it was absolutely incredible. I was just a kid and in awe. I'm from West Canada. I never forgot that show. Thank you 👌👍

[@woosa42]

When i am tying on a palomar knot , instead of trying to feed folded line through the eye hole i just feed it through once and back through the other way. Much easier and this way you are not crimping your line too trying to feed it through.

[@slayer7976]

That's what I was thinking watching him do it the other way...

[@willharris3843]

That’s the only way I’ve ever done it

[@mroctober17]

@@slayer7976 a

[@dabearschrisstirling650]

same here....it's way easier than trying to push folded line through. cheers!

[@dankjankings7339]

Me too, I was trying it the other way then it dawned on me that I’m not very smart sometimes.

[@johnnyb5521]

I’m a U Tube schoolie Ned Rig 101. 👍 thanks Professor Martin for the Ned Rig class.

[@kerryschallon8879]

I've ben bass fishing for almost 50 years. Roland thanks for all the info for all those years.

[@sonofafisherman743]

I don’t know why in the crap I never thought of that Texas rigging the Ned rig I needed this video thanks Roland 👍

[@gregcampbelle3696]

I didn't have much luck with it, but then again Roland Martin I am not. I missed more than I caught.

[@sonofafisherman743]

Greg Campbelle now I know what you mean hook up is not real good that way

[@slydogg616]

Roland is 80 and still tying line with no glasses, I’m half his age and if I forget my readers on boat I’m F’d!!!!! Thanks for all the information Roland

[@gr0uch02a]

Always search for your videos first on any given topic. Thanks Roland. Been watching you since I was a kid.

[@skiplovestofish6992]

I can't thank you enough for all the great tips. my fishing has greatly improved!!!

[@soflojes1870]

Your videos are so informative.Thanks for the helpful tips.

[@SocConomos]

Roland you crack me up when you whip out that crazy glue... putting it on your knots is crucial any time you’re fishing something that’s gonna pull hard and test your knots.. I put a dab on my double uni and loop knot when I fish for tarpon..

[@seanblack4749]

I grew up watching you and the other fishing shows when I was a kid.Bill and Hank.Always thought I was gonna go catch me a big un afterward.

[@cosmonautonni4779]

I beem searching all over youtube for a video that gives me detailed instruction on the ned/ braid rig and it just had to be roland martin. Im so thankful that I came across his channel. Love ya roland, keep up the good work

[@martybousum1010]

Thanks sir. My first name is Martin. I knew you would make it big time!!

[@SuperCoyotecaller]

Roland your the man. I like listening to your stories from your past. Would be fun to fish with you and listen to fish stories all day. Great videos and thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@georgetalley4756]

Mr. Martin I grew up watching your shows. Its great to see you on KZbin now. Im happy to be a subscriber thanks again for the lifetime of education and entertainment.

[@jamiebaker7265]

Awesome video Roland. Your garage is better stocked than my local bait shop lol.

[@Wallyonaboat]

Love the Ned rig and love ur informative videos!

[@SoundFishingTV]

Just started fishing the Ned Rig about 2 months ago, and it has changed the amount of fish I catch in a day!

[@MrRashad776]

Thank Mr. Roland this video is amazing. I'm actually going fishing today I will try this new approach with fishing the bed rig. I'm sure I will be successful with this setup.

[@DavidMccallister65]

Great video Roland! Every serious fisherman has to have this technique in their arsenal.

[@jeremyepps1]

Thank you for this Roland! I will definitely try this texas rigged style ned setup. I love your channel! Keep making these fantastic videos!

[@keithlawrence7682]

Roland “Ned” Martin. Fantastic video. Thank you!

[@kerrycomstock9220]

Thanks so much Roland.....I love your expertise that comes from many years of fishing! I know you've just about done it all, because I have been there watching you all these years!

[@johnlorenze3222]

I love it when Roland "cuts" line or senkos. Same way I've been doing it for decades.

[@PonchMuniz]

Thanks Roland! I enjoy watching your videos!

[@tylerabel4631]

Thank you sir and I tell people all the time this rig has Ben around many years my grandad use to use crappie jigs and a pice of plastic worm 60 yrs ago same thing it works

[@thesteveshowfoodfestroadtest]

Same!

[@noec76cruz7]

Thanks for the different perspective.

[@adampayne962]

Hi Roland! Again you have tought me something new. I've never tried the Ned Rig and yesterday was a really tough day fishing. I wasn't catching much on my normal rigs. I had just watched your video on the Ned Rig and I thougjt I'd give it a try. Long story short, the Ned Rig saved the day. What a crazy little rig. Thank you for all you do.

[@terrytresemer2864]

Like you I've been around for awhile. The ned rig is like the drop shot. Been around for more than a few years. I think it's been remarketing of an old system

[@thesteveshowfoodfestroadtest]

Agreed!

[@razr199]

Great video as always Roland

[@johnfugate3432]

I glad you keep us informed thanks

[@berks8260]

Great info Roland, I love the Ned Rig.....

[@johnsavage2324]

Rolland love your channel.

[@Nate_Cross]

When the fishin' is slow, to the ned rig we go! I think I've caught more fish on the ned rig than all my other types of lures combined.

[@gregcampbelle3696]

This. I love this bait, especially with the Z Man baits. Senko's just don't quite do as well for me. It has brought my overall bass fishing productiveness from spotty at best to acceptable. Before using the Ned, the only consistently productive method I felt completely confident with was pitching frogs in pads. Everything else....meh.

[@Floridafisherman5000]

I caught a few nice16" bass yesterday using the Ned Rig!! It works...but why would I ever doubt Roland!!! :)

[@webdude321]

yeah I notice that watching you for years as a kid. That everything that they are coming up with now that I am in my 50's is/are things you Elder Master Anglers were doing a long time ago

[@g-rod5199]

Great video, as always!

[@RALLIARTslyboy]

Ooooooooweeeeeee Roland my man I've found this here channel and actually just caught me a good one for my waters with a yum crawpapi baby! Nedn'

[@N5KDA]

People talk about these knots as 90% etc. I have yet to break a uni-uni knot. I have snapped the knot where the bait is tied and or straightened hooks to get loose from a snag, but brake a uni to uni braid to fluorocarbon? Not yet. BTW, I don't know how old some are here, but Roland was one of my fishing hero's and I'm 56. Who here remembers John Fox fishing on Sam Rayburn or Toledo Bend? GO ROLAND !!! Wish I could fish with you!

[@williamfedor8706]

Thanks for the Ned rig video ! Hope you do more finesse videos!

[@jamesbrawner70]

Nice job, Roland - it's good to hear it from the Pro Jim Brawner Dallas, TX

[@jasonlatrayfishing5489]

Great vid and look forward to seeing more from you!!

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Awesome info by one of the true GOATS!!!!! Thank you Mr Martin!!

[@ChronicTom23]

I've been throwing ned rigs on 12lb mono,using baitcasters for years...no issues at all,and more than enough sensitivity...def don't need braid and a leader,or a spinning set up!...can save yourself plenty of time and money.

[@AceFaceDesigns]

I like to use a mono leader with braid. I use hi-visibility yellow because the line will float on top and I can see it when I get a hit.

[@jorgen.zamora]

Thank you for sharing this! I will definetly put it in practice.

[@mauriciomaisonnave4185]

thank you for another great video Mr Martin! This next January I will be visiting your marina and hope to met you there! Who knows, maybe go out for some fishing with you and your team!

[@edwardclement102]

Thanks Roland .... I look forward to using a rig like this at High Rock NC in green pumpkin this year ....

[@jaysonbrown8988]

edward clement I love to fish highrock! So do you have a place there? I'm only 30 to 45 min away from there. Let's RIP some lips

[@robertandrews1565]

Great information, answered lots of questions. Thank you.

[@inbetweenthebeats509]

Never thought to use my teeth to shorten a senko :) Straight Savage 🎣. GOAT 🐐

[@denniskeys8559]

Great information Roland

[@martinfisher7193]

Thanks, Roland!

[@drmitofit2673]

My theory for the success of the Ned Rig is that it imitates the dragonfly nymph which is the same size and shape and crawls slowly on the bottom. They are plentiful, get to medium size because they can grow in the nymph phase for 4 years, add get big enough to attack small fry (baby bass).

[@bobbrowning5824]

great "how to" video Roland. Thanks!

[@ronmoredock2795]

Can't wait to try this lure method on my local lake. I need my bifocals as well to tie my knots Roland!

[@waydebaker33]

I grew up in Texas, with a Senko. Now, as an adult, I carry a pole Bed rigged in my truck at all times. It's just great. Once you catch a great fish with it, you fall in love. I caught a 18" halibut with it, and it changedy.life.

[@PunchFishing]

Love the shout out to the Capras

[@fbiburneraccount]

Roland. You're the man!

[@johnsmarc1440]

I've been cutting line with my teeth for 50 years! Haha great

[@shanebaker6816]

Love your videos Roland! Come out to Lake Havasu, Arizona some time. Tight lines!

[@masonmc23]

Pretty cool to see you reload for your guns as well!

[@Showmethefish]

Keep it up Roland....from Lake Sam Rayburn

[@davids7947]

Fished with it today and caught a 3 lb rainbow today. Along with 5 of his smaller friends. Also did it in another lake just drag and jerk it on the bottom. Trout love it......

[@johnnyweaver1300]

Last year I got tired of loosing the rig on rocks gets expensive, so without telling my brother, I started making it Texas rig, & buddy I started getting a lot more than he did, basically that turns it into a small shakyhead & i throw it on a casting rod & reel with 15lb flurocarbon!

[@carlwentzell6314]

Roland loves his superglue!

[@mitchalgreen7244]

Nice. Great tips.

[@whales302]

You just can't beat experience. When it comes to most things I only want to listen to the older guys....

[@tomstone3645]

Thumbs up if you see the guns before 5:30 minute mark. 😂

[@warrenbiggs5525]

Haha I love roland "Its not a big deal" Producer "your getting a kick back from zman" Roland "I mean it is a big deal it's a really big deal" Hahaha love it such a great fisherman thought no question about it

[@johnnyarial7778]

Ty I been watching and its helping me improve. Had a guy in this fancy boat pull me over the other day in my little shallow water boat and he was like alright what the hell are you using. Made me laugh. Ty for the tips me and my son enjoy them. I need some help on setting up on the fish using sonar. I have to helix 5s. Been getting better but would love to hear your insights.

[@jakeschisler7525]

That's funny about cutting line with your teeth, My Dad did it also all the time! I never mustard that!

[@garybond3663]

Thanks Roland.

[@kylevodden19]

Try super glue on the head Roland it will help keep the bait attached to the jig head. Baits will last a bit longer. Love super glue!

[@suttonsplash14]

KZbinrs! 👍 Roland Martin is awesome!

[@baldyhead1]

Great video. That’s the main problem with neds for me is that they get easily hung up but I’m gonna try the Texas rig style. Thanks

[@Adkguerrilla44]

I have been using 30lb seaguar smackdown braid with a 6-8lb fc sniper leader on a 7'3 NFC rod with shimano vanford 2500 hg and have only lost maybe 4 or 5 smb all year been the best set up ive ever used let alone owned

[@jefflongbow4639]

I never new Ned but seen this man all my life. I’m gonna Call it Roland Rig.

[@ChrisGnarley]

If you fish senkos wacky style alot,and if you dont remelt plastics,break them at hook spot,two ned worms 🤑

[@getoffmylawn8986]

I'm gonna try this.

[@doug2700]

Thank you for the tips Roland. I’ve tried the ned rig several times but never caught anything on it. Maybe I will try it again.

[@FatBoyDan]

great tips

[@jeffhayde4665]

I/'ve used the 3 in senko in a similar fashion for nearly 20 yrs on pressured NJ Smallmouth

[@jasonlocke4035]

Roland #297 for life!!!

[@jeffgarrett7452]

Very good info, thank you sir

[@johndynneson662]

I’m from Minnesota. The Ned rig was developed By guy from Wisconsin. That through the years. Designed that little mushroom head for putting little pieces of worms. :: Concept was swim it though the water column never letting hit the bottom. (( these lakes up here can be really clear )). And fines sometimes is the only way you can catch them. Since them. The real Ned head isn’t being poured no more. Everyone got it kinda wrong.

[@googanslayer6675]

My recent trip up in new Hampshire and Maine the ned rig was of the best rig just because it would catch fish at any time in the day and early evening. you already know what the best bait was! green pumpkin or watermelon 4 inch senko. cut the tip so the salt starts falling out. Roland tells the truth.

[@jtee9548]

Good video. It'd help if you would cut to close ups when showing details and tying tackle. You did a tying video with massive line once for clarity, orange I think, and it made it easy to see. (Just looked it up, 3 Best knots for braid)

[@kentonhill7758]

My god that garage.

[@pcs56]

How the heck does a 79 year old man tie line knots without glasses? I ask because I'm a 56 year old man who had 20/17 vision up until I was 50 and now HAVE to have reading glasses to see anything!....Never mind, he put his glasses on! LOL!

[@zipzip8239]

lol

[@shawnbeck2303]

Lasiks! Don't tell anybody. Give it a try. It will change your world. Shawn.

[@paulmontes4943]

Thanks Mr. Martin great tips on the Ned rig. And p.s keep cutting fishing line with your teeth.

[@Tom-ic7hw]

i think ihave more fun watching roland than i do actually fishing.....well maybe not but he is still fun

[@af4od02]

I fish the ned rig some. To me, it’s just a small shakey head. It’s half the size.
