BUYER'S GUIDE: Ned Rig Baits, Rigging, And Finesse Fishing Gear!

[@831BASSTACTICZ]

I've watched your Ned videos for the past like 4 years and now I click on this video and realize .. I already have EVERY single bait he talked about 🤣oh man guys I'm a fishing freak it's all thanks to you fishing maniacs 🤣🤣

[@MichaelCraig-bi3wj]

I have totally freaked out and sold all my spinning outfits for BFS gear. I find the ned rig is perfect for this system. I have a Dobyns 700 and a 740 both with a Shimano Aldebaran reel. I can't remember having so much fun with this system in my life. Thanks for all the tips and information, you guys do an excellent job!!!

[@brianwills4398]

Thank you guys... I look forward to this every year

[@johng6252]

Would be way better if you all would show a closeup pic of each product as you introduce it.

These buyers guides are almost like the annual kickoff to the holiday season for me. Once you put out that first buyer's guide right after Thanksgiving, it's really the event that starts the run to Christmas for me. Always look to pick up new things during these buyers guides in terms of either new baits, new techniques, new rods, new reels, and or affirmation of the stuff that I'm using if it shows up in your buyer's guide. I'm certain it's a ton of work to put together all those videos and I know that the community that follows you appreciates it every year. Wishing you and yours a very happy and healthy holiday season. Look forward to more great tactical bassin content in the new year.

[@nancymills5993]

You both have done an outstanding job covering every type of fishing out there. You cover everything from high end down to budget and everything in-between. Everyone should be able to afford something in their favorite type of fishing that you have covered. Again thank you and outstanding information and keep the video’s coming. Have a wonderful holiday to you and you families!! 🎄

[@seasgarage]

I was just thinking about this last night and couldn't decide on a rod. Perfect time! Thanks for all you guys do!

[@lpbass8369]

Just would not be the holidays without the buyers guides.Thanks guys ,good stuff.

[@Robdyno1]

Your videos ...both of you guys do is extremely amazing ...I been fishing for well over 30 years, I have watched Matt Allen and Tim's videos for a while, I'm a subscriber..I just want to say thank you for your tutorials, your bass videos and your tackle and reel and rod videos ...All I got to say is keep these videos coming and I will definitely continue to watch them ...Thank you Matt Allen and Tim Little your the best ...Merry Christmas to the both of you

[@richardbossman9875]

I have come to learn just today how special the NED rig can be. I took my wife fishing and the problem was that she is mainly familiar with saltwater fishing by just throwing some baited hook out and waiting to get bites. Being that she wasn’t familiar with more technical techniques and I didn’t have much that the conditions and her skill would allow much success in doing. I happened to set her up with a Ned rigged Zman bugz. She managed to get a few bites and landed a bass under conditions that even I struggle to get bit. I brought out a similar setup, only the bait was the Zman crawz and I started getting bites and landed a bass myself. The Ned is so perfect for beginners and tough conditions. Thx for explaining the finer points of the technique over the years.

[@midwestfischerman]

FIRST🥇🏆 for the LAST Buyer's Guide!🎣🎁 WOW, gentlemen you've outdone yourselves this year. What a FANTASTIC series! Tim and Matt, let me be the FIRST🥇🏆 to thank you both on behalf of your half a million subscribers!!!

[@toddpossum]

Haha. Nah

[@midwestfischerman]

@toddpossum I don't have work this Friday, so I probably won't be up at 5:30 AM Central Time for the next video post. So, have at it!👍🏻🙌🏻

[@kenmccarthyfishing]

👏👏👏16:35 thank you both sooooo much for all the work and there’s a ton of work to do these buyer guides,you guys are awesome ❤️👊

[@kenmoore2358]

Thanks for all the great info... I look forward to catching that NED rig bass this winter!

[@krissoto1]

Awesome series of videos. Learned quite a bit and appreciate what you guys do. Thank you for the time and knowledge, looking forward to what's next

[@woadborn]

Thanks for keeping this ol' boy fishing gentleman!

[@shanescott3168]

A Ned Rig with a green pumpkin ZMan TRD has caught the most fish for me this year on my home lake in North Texas for largemouth and Table Rock for smallmouth, spotted and largemouth. I always have one tied on. I was glad to see you choose a Daiwa BG spinning reel since those are on my Ned and finesse shakey head rods. A shakey head with a green pumpkin finesse zoom worm has also been very productive for me and my buddy this year.

[@AndyOutdoorsChannel]

The bg is what i use with 10lb braid on a medium light rod with 6-10lb leader and love it for neds and weightless rigs with 3inch soft plastics and 1/0 hooks and neds and is amazing.

[@richardblake4777]

Great job guys, can't wait for your 2023 BG.

[@brandonsides4589]

Thank you gents. Merry Christmas.

[@kevinloper6551]

Thanks guy's, hope you and family have a great holiday.

[@VinceNiergarth]

Thanks again guys!

[@Twangtown7]

Great job as always on the buyer's guides, fellas.

[@tressbassin]

[@HawkFishingandOutdoors]

Been rocking that chartreuse head for years, it's my go to!

[@mikegardiner3934]

congrats guy on another year of Buyers Guide vids. Terrific job again !!!! Merry Christmas!!

[@toddpossum]

Thanks

[@bobfishnut]

Watched em all and this is my favorite. But, spent all I had!

[@paulconder26]

Chartreuse is what I use alot of the time. Smallies love it. Orange head if you are on a craw bite.

[@richshackelford5793]

Thanks for the buyers guide series Matt and Tim

[@theoriginaltech019]

Merry Christmas to the whole TB FAMILY and COMMUNITY!!! You guys are amazing, thank you so much for all you do and all you have done. Can't wait to see what the future has in store.... MIDWEST!!!! 🤣🤣😂😂

[@akilidebrady3785]

Last buyers guide on deck! Let's go! (Already broke my bank anyway)! And I beat Midwest Fischerman to the punch. Lol.

[@midwestfischerman]

Well Speed Racer🏎, I guess being in on the twelfth second will have to be good enough for me today!🏁🏁🏁 Merry Christmas!🎄🎅

[@midwestfischerman]

I don't have work this Friday, so I probably won't be up at 5:30 AM Central Time for the next video post. So, have at it!👍🏻🙌🏻

[@akilidebrady3785]

Merry Christmas! You are the NRX of commentors so it's an honor to out-race you here and there!

[@johnnysilapan4677]

These guys are changing the fishing world 🔥

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!!

[@donaldferris1638]

You mean to tell me it will be another year before more buyers guides. Over way to soon lol. I enjoyed them thanks

[@phiology1983]

The megabass dark sleeper is great in cold water

[@Cornelius798]

Thanks guys, Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

[@davidpenner2903]

This was awesome. Thank you both so much for taking the time to do this series! Happy Holidays, gents!

[@williamchoate641]

Awesome and informative series, thanks guys

[@lindashreve6121]

Great video and very informative thank you for the content. I haven’t really used a Ned rig yet though I plan to I have used the z man craw on a plan jig head and usually catch the bigger smallmouth. I love the molting craw color because when I’m using live crawfish and I find a molting craw it will catch fish as soon as it hits the water and multi species too. They made an awesome bait. Thanks guys for the video now I know what to look for in a Ned rig.

[@jonperkins7433]

Nice work fellas! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!

[@mikek3638]

Love the series! Merry Christmas guys!

[@rafabonati7757]

Happy Holidays Tim and Matt!

[@benthompsonfishing1119]

Love the video and knowledge.... Wish I had the know how to create content and followers like you both .... Great channel

[@arnemueller2112]

Thanks for your tremendous efforts. Looking forward enjoying such content next holiday season. For the moment have a merry Christmas, a happy new year and stay healthy!

[@seizedcarcass8440]

The TRD BUGZ is so underrated. I wish they had a few other colors.

[@Turppa21]

Loved those and the salamanders last year.

[@jordanaary2886]

I’ll forever keep the zman craws on deck they just work!

[@tims_always_fishing7117]

Just left cabelas and bought a bunch of finesse plastics, dream shots, lil generals, gobys, etc. I'm going to try my best to throw these fairy wand baits come next season

[@jasonriede6056]

Thanks for all the time and effort that you guys put into these videos have a very merry Christmas 🎄⛄

[@bretthumphries7911]

Nice. If those Ned heads hang horizontal, they would be killer with "float and fly" applications. Tight lines

[@heinrichkellogg7563]

🍺 Tim what happened to the NRX+ 901 being the ultimate choice for the Ned. Mine is on the way as we speak according to TW. I ordered it Black Friday 2021, 14 months ago. Pairing it with the new Stella, and 6 lb Tatsu.

[@bassmedic]

I would like to add the berkly little general to the the list of great neds baits. They don't last like the zman but that max sent really works great in any water types.

[@stonyfloyd1438]

The Crock O Gator Shortie is a game changer!

[@davidfeldman611]

Well done boys! Happy holidays!

[@noahledbetter3969]

Good video/videos.merry Christmas and happy New year

[@bobbarnhill8557]

One head that you really need to try is the Deeks Dead spin . TW sells them. This head will change your life. I’m crushing bass in low 40 degree water on a pressured lake with the Deeks dead spin. Pin a Keitech 2.8 or a Zman Trd on it and it’s game on.

[@retflo2583]

Whew! made it all the way through...

[@johno7435]

Excellent Ned rig buyers guide Matt & Tim. I would add another Ned bait - the savage gear Ned minnow - especially in green pumpkin. In terms of a budget/mid price setup, I now swear by your recommendation is the shimano miravel paired with a st croix premier medium light rod! Thanks again and Happy Holidays to both of you!

[@paulgiannetto5317]

hi nice but I was hoping you did a frog selection guide to help with stocking up for 2023 covering new products like the launch frog. Merry Christmas

[@clintonbruning]

A z man bugz bait used to be my biggest confidence bait. I have some of the micro finesse now to throw on bfs and it actually has me excited to throw a ned rig 😂.

[@kevinbeaudean704]

Thanks guys. Have you tried the owner block head weedless version? Had a pretty good year on them. It's just a EWG on a lead head. Merry Christmas , happy New Year to you and yours.

[@Grumpyjoe301]

you two young men are the Best Merry Xmas......

[@tnbassmaster]

The last buyer guide!?! Merry Christmas tactical bassin !

[@shawng3340]

Yes!!!

[@Frag4Life]

I caught my PB,4 1/2 pounder , in a 2 in Ned rig!

[@Lee-vg8yk]

Cool very nice

[@capital613]

Forever well done info.. 👏

[@jamesleary1405]

I've been rocking the Robo worm ned bait for a long long time, same with that missile baits one you had is another I locked onto and have had great success with. And as for Zman I'm a big fan of the bugz version you showed over any other Zman ned bait. And for jigs I've been a fan of a few but especially the skirted version of Zman ned jigs. But everything you guy's choose to show as examples are all great and a few are my personal go to baits when ned fishing.

[@clintonbruning]

I’ve got some of the micro ned baits that I really want to try too.

[@jeremyduncan9165]

I can NOT afford another buyers guide video… between you dudes and the Hook Up Tackle I’m broke!!! Happy Holidays to you guys and your families

[@timothythompson6549]

If you're not using the PBJ TRD, you're BLOWING it!

[@sheepdad556]

Waiting for this one...👍

[@chrisclift540]

I’ve had several Palomar knots break while Ned rig fishing at the jig head on the hook set…using Z-man Nedlocks. 6lb FCsniper leader…my other palomars don’t break…any tips? What am I doing wrong?

[@bobdonatello7353]

Howdy, and Happy Holidays! Are you guys ever going to release the Amazon River footage? I’ve been waiting for that since you guys aired the trailer a while back. I need something to get me through the winter lol

[@Group115Fishing]

Have you ever caught northern snakeheads tacticalbassin?

[@ronswinford4952]

Good job again guys

[@desert8285]

You guys have any videos on fishing lake mead? A very tough lake

[@markogouk628]

I wanna use little swim baits, Ned rigs, drop shots, and wacky rigs. Would you say that the st croix medium fast 7,1 would be better or 6,10 medium light that you mentioned in this video?

[@nawinchester]

Hello Tim, I watched the previous year's Ned rig video and your take on rods in that video was that the longer the better? And in fact you had recommended a couple of different 7 ft 4 to 7 ft 6 medium light to light rods. What is it that has you changing your mind from longer rods are better for techniques like Ned Rigs to using a 6 ft 10 light or medium light rod is now the best option ??

[@willtrax71]

Thank God you guys didn’t break out a Baitcasting Reel and use the “BFS” term for it Lol..!! Finesse by Definition is how you present any artificial Lure to a Fish lol it trips me out the whole BFS scam. Great Intel Guys..

[@jeffhoying5266]

What reel and rod do you recommend again for Ned rig? Thanks again I’m learning a lot from you guys.

[@poppy.fishing]

TRD is one of my favorite fishing stills. Have you ever tried the Z-man in bubble gum color?

[@TWC6724]

Talking about these smaller baits, do y’all know if a micro A-rig exists that you can have say some 2.5 inch paddle tails on? That you can throw on a finesse type spinning reel?

[@johnsusin2531]

Hello Matt and Tim. I'm a subscriber, and really like an appreciate what you're putting out there. Quick question for someone who is new to ned rigs. Why are the ned rig heads you recommend so relatively light? 1/10th/15th ounce. Seems soooo light to me. Is it the combination of the rig head and the bait that combine to help get the combo to the bottom. I'm just thinking of water with some amount of current or water that is "choppy". Thanks for your advice and comments.

[@marcanzlovar72]

The hardest bite, and I still struggle with it on a ned, is the bite on the fall. What’s your thoughts on that ?

[@tannerstephens8109]

You guys should do a big bait only three hour raw fishing video

[@raymondjohnson6496]

I got me a 21 shimano Essence 3000 MHG it’s not the C model I going to buy that model next it’s light what rod be good for that reel expride or a Orochi XX or the baby plugging or the windbuster or the Dobyns DX series maybe the Xtasy rod now that’s a mouth full it’s for a drop shot rod like to use it for 2-3 different kind of rod option

[@Jschuhfishing]

I vote that the last buyers guide is on which snacks you guys buy to go out in the water. I’m putting $20 that Matt is a honey bun guy.

[@tombunch891]

Do you prefer the vanford 2000 or 2500?

[@miketurenne7204]

What line both main and leader?powerpro 10 to 5# fluoro? Close?

[@douglasspickler4925]

Nice job

[@shawnseabaugh]

Thanks👍

[@eliaslara3251]

The budget combo would be a high end combo for me.😂😂 Talking about price

[@UNFXWND]

Do you guys ever try 6lb braid for ned rigs?

[@randybrodman3959]

In Arizona we dip all our plastic tips chartreuse

[@randybrodman3959]

Is it spring? All that green foliage?

[@magicworldbyjorg]

[@alanrasmussen4097]

For shits and giggles, I put a 2.5" Cover Scat 0n a 1/16th oz. EWG Owner block head last year. I think I might have stumbled upon some magic, at least in my neck of the woods. I was wondering if that Savage Gear Salamander will fit on the Owner EWG Block Head properly with that narrow spot in the middle? I am going to have to try a few packs of them regardless, Matt has mentioned them to many times to continue to ignore it. Tightlines guys and Marry X-Mas to you and yours!

[@tsalibuchert3156]

I'd add molix flex ned and spro cj smasher

[@andyd834]

Why a bantam over a metanium mgl for a topwater reel? Like the idea of being able yo dump the spool on a cast lol.

[@crutasle4264]

How do you guys think of the new version of the curado rod in 7’6 light? Compared to the zodias, is the action much different in the same model?

[@jnorman975]

Based on what I've read, the Curado and Zodias rods are the same blank, so I'd imagine actions are the same

[@brandonsmith606]

Phew my wallet is still smoking lol. Great video. I hate ned rig fishing, but it just works so I do it when needed.

[@coleshelton]

Are they still having the 20% discount on tackle warehouse even if it isn’t showing at checkout?

[@tacticalbassin]

No, it's come to an end. Sorry!
