How to Rig and Fish With Ned Shrimp! Crush it Everytime

[@TwiztidPain]

100% agree with you more people need to do videos on how to rig and fish them. I like fishing them under a popping cork.

[@gregm8941]

I used to use a loop knot also. I bought into all of the hype that you get more action out of the lure until I saw underwater video in a tank that clearly demonstrated that there was virtually no difference when using a loop knot. Also on more than one occasion I had the line break inside of the loop. The knot did not fail the line broke from abrasion from the eye of the hook. I spoke to some friends about this and they have had the same experience of the loop breaking. Now I use a surgeon's knot to attach the leader to the line and a uni knot to attach the hook to the leader.

[@TwiztidPain]

Yeah I 100% agree with you only time I will do a loop knot is on my hard baits

[@enlcoach2227]

Thanks so much for the explicit instructions! I’m learning a lot from you. Great video!!!

[@Thonny]

More to come! Thanks for watching

[@StephanieBassora-q7x]

Really did enjoy this episode you're amazing

[@sgbawg0]

I should also note... the fresh water ned rig with a 3 inch stick bait is killer for bass. THe ned rig jig head also slays in saltwater on the bottom

[@Thonny]

💯

I love to use scents on my artificials, and since zman doesn't hold scent , I always cut a flesh tone foam ear plug in half, thread onto the hook, and give it a few drops of gulp juice.

[@Thonny]

That’s a great idea!

[@adk_mtnlife]

That's almost a Rapala knot. Once you went back through the overhand knot the 2nd time I always go back through the tag to make it a bit stronger. Great video!

[@Thonny]

Thanks! I’ve lost fish in the past using regular alright knot! Now I tie an improved version and it’s been holding up

[@Tam58851520]

I've always been partial to the Kreh Loop Knot, Lefty never lead us astray. With the tag end pointing at the lure, you don't pick up weeds or moss on the tag end.

[@ryankwiecinski2132]

Just bought some of the Ned shrimp. 1/10th oz was the only size bulletz they had at the time and are hard to cast in the wind but it definitely did some damage to the trout!

[@Fishfinaticsfishing]

It really is hard to beat jigging a plastic shrimp. One of my favorite ways to fish in the winter. Keep up the good work man 👍

[@Thonny]

Couldn't agree more!

[@KillerDragoon87]

As a guy that’s always used bait, your videos have me trying artificials. Gonna try out these ned shrimpz tomorrow

[@Thonny]

Let me know what you think!

[@markcohen8061]

You are so pleasurable to watch!

[@lawrencevalentin3646]

Awesome! Thanks for the videos on artificial lure "shrimp", even sheephead can be catch. Thanks for the videos Thonn❤️

[@guillogabica]

Thank You Thonny

[@BlakeCresswell]

That was a nice tutorial. For that kind of fishing, what kind of waders do you recommend, and what would you typically look out for in a pair or waders?

[@Thonny]

Check out the simms waders they’re all great.

[@hookedup1]

Hi Thonny, so you found my secret honey hole…I saw you fishing there on Sunday so left you at it…..Mirrodines are working well there too as well as smaller micro baits during this colder weather. Don’t be sharing the location 😂 Maybe next time I’ll come over and say hello…tight lines

[@Thonny]

No bites that day! Water was dirty

[@stephanebogen5411]

Great video Thonny - I started to use them after your first video. I really like them. I enjoy the finesse size and they complement nicely my power prawn & Junior from slat strong. All the best and looking forward to other videos.

[@Thonny]

I was actually thinking about trying the jighead with the smaller praw from salt strong just to see how they work!

[@fishgoblinmonster8610]

Gold sparkles DOA are my go to in winter. Key is to let it hit bottom! Tight lines.

[@Thonny]

Great bait too!! 👊 classic doa shrimp. I’m a fan of the glow in the dark ones

[@fishgoblinmonster8610]

Just curious more of the “invisible “ or “white color” glow in the dark ones. You’re awesome man. But start going to Tampa fishing outfitters lol!!

[@AlanJohnsonSunbird]

Thonny, for this finesse style fishing what power rod, what size reel, and what pound test braid are you using? Thanks P.S. This reminds me of fishing for smallmouth during my tournament days. 🎣😀

[@Thonny]

7ft medium light action rod and a size 3k reel. 10lb braid and 20lb leader.

[@AlanJohnsonSunbird]

@@Thonny perfect Sir and thank you. Fun and informative video, Thonny.

[@mohamednaurif2935]

Great video bro. Quick question. What wading boots do you use in these salt waters? Thanks

[@Thonny]

I use the simms zipit

[@nicholaswolhaupter7326]

Awesome video!! Thanks again Thonny!

[@Thonny]

More to come! 💪

[@blackmanarise1]

I seen you at Coffee Pot the other day.. keep catching em bruh! Tight Lines!

[@Thonny]

Appreciate it 👊

[@ReelRobFishing]

​@Thonny What other ways do you recommend rigging the Salty Ned Shrimpz?

[@accoladesecurity4726]

awesome video!

[@Thonny]

Thank you!

[@adamrabbett1342]

Great video! I have a question unrelated to video. Where in south Pinellas County can I rake for live sand fleas? I initially thought any beach would do but was told by someone that they are hard to find locally due to the constant beach renourishment being done locally. Any thoughts/suggestions? Somebody else recommended FT. DeSoto.

[@Thonny]

I heard pass a grille beach had them sometimes!

[@momeyq]

Does st Pete fishing outfitters sell big bob and docs goofy jig and teaser?

[@Thonny]

Oh yeah 💪

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

Thonny, great video😊. Tight lines buddy😊

[@Thonny]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@josuepizarro-pj4fd]

what type of setup are you using when wade fishing?

[@Thonny]

Shimano Zodias 7ft ML paired up with Shimano Exsence 3000!

[@craigheckman772]

What size rod and line do you use

[@Thonny]

Medium light action rod with 10lb braid!

[@craigheckman772]

@@Thonnythank you very much

[@LagilityYT]

Nice fish! Nice Video!

[@Thonny]

Thank you!

[@chuckcox8582]

In winter the only thing I do is slow way down…

[@michaeldennis8039]

What size leader do you usually use?

[@Thonny]

20lb!

[@sethjabal9389]

Wow, it was posted 1 minutes ago by the time I saw it

[@sgbawg0]

So, I got these shrimp and the jig heads from Amazon... lol, expectations so high.....

[@Thonny]

Let me know what you think!

[@davescheer5038]

🌴 hey thon, have you used other plastic shrimp bodies , and got the same results and what about colors ? There seems to be other brands that look more realistic , one thought is a lot of times people work the lure to fast, but if you don’t speed it up you don’t cove as much area , usually I’ll fan cast an area in front of me , have you tried putting sent on those shrimp ? And then there’s the weight of that rig you use , the right weight will let that shrimp slowly sink as it looks in nature , to heavy of a weight and it drops like a pompano jig , interesting vid , the whole plastic lure thing ,plastic crabs, paddle tails , twister tails , and 3D replica’s , this needs more study 🤔 actually It means more fishing 👈🏼😆👍🏼👊🏼

[@Thonny]

I’ll have to try putting scent on the shrimp! Also, I’ll try different artificial shrimp just to see how well they’ll work with the same jig head
