A Ned Rig Setup that Bass can't resist

I show the best set up for the Ned Rig. The braid, leader, rod, jig head and 3 inch senko for the the right combination. This is terrific for smallmouth, the spotted bass really bite it as well and even good sized largemouth suck it down like candy! The Ned rig is the hottest structure lure for all seasons when fished at the right depth the right way!

[@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!

[@vovo1730]

Roland Martin, thank you for your service.

[@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.

Roland achieved mega superstar status when he bit the head off his senko.

He's the Ozzy of Senkos.🤘🤘🤘🤘

Lake minnetonka. Mn I lived in excelsior I used to walk down the the lake and fish off the bridge in st albans bay and excelsior bay. I love excelsior all i did as a kid was fish on Christmas lake, and walk up to the spots I fished on minnetonka , catch frogs at the ponds, catch nightcrawlers, come back to lake minnetonka let's do some fishing live frogs

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

[@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!

[@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

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.

[@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!

[@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 👌👍

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@phillyman5000]

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

[@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!

[@kerryschallon8879]

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

[@gr0uch02a]

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

[@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

[@jamiebaker7265]

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

[@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..

[@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

[@Notorious_Nate]

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.

[@fbiburneraccount]

Rolland love your channel.

[@johnsmarc1440]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@SoundFishingTV]

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

[@bobbrowning5824]

great "how to" video Roland. Thanks!

[@mitchalgreen7244]

Nice. Great tips.

[@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).

[@masonmc23]

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

[@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.

I'm gonna try this.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@hawkeyes130]

Hey Roland! I love you, Man 💪

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@50JoshLovesFishing]

I love ned rig

[@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

[@paulmontes4943]

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

[@dankjankings7339]

I use straight braid in stained water and with the pink braid it catches just as many.
