Kevin Van Dam Tips on Strike King Ned Rig & Thunder Cricket

[@jakeporter8476]

I've been fishing a "Ned" rig for 25 years. But we called it a "Clarence" rig. 90% of the time I fished it with a Berkeley slugo, 10% sinko. The slugo technique is by far the best! Great action and becomes a awesome search bait. Slugos are hard to find these days. Only used black slugos.

[@EternalAngler]

Gonna have to pin that comment, interesting, thanks for the info!

[@Ryan-jx4vh]

The Slugo is still out there, but most people opt for the fluke.

[@MrBdogg317]

Ryan what’s the slugo

[@vinnylivoti9567]

FYi Berkeley did no make the Slu-Go, Lunker City Lures did and still does.

[@Arcasting1]

The greatest fisherman of all time! It was so cool meeting him at the Ultimate a Fishing Show in Novi! Got to ask him a couple questions about fishing. 🎣

[@mikepiekarski7903]

I haven't had the chance to cast a ned yet but I'm looking forward to it.

[@TheRecon1a]

Just got back into bass fishing again back in June and the Zman TRD Bugz in green pumpkin and also the June bug are my confidence baits with that 3/16 ned head I usually catch 2 or 3 bass in 3hrs on this little lake I go to..

No problem, tight lines!

Thank you for the lecture it's super👍👍👍

[@midwestfischerman]

KVD is an unheralded part of the "Ned Rig" phenomenon. KVD is the one, after all, who gave Ned Kehde his first handful of Elaztech, Strike King Zeros, 5" baits that became cut in half.

[@bassinwithbuck4955]

Wait a second this is a story that I've never heard. I live in Kansas City and have talked to Ned quite a few times over the years. I've never heard this before. Can you elaborate? Awesome stuff!

[@FishinTheMittinTV]

Nice video. We had a really good show this year. I was working the Denali Rods/Lakes Area Bait Shop booth and absolutely had a blast, probably seen ya there.

[@EternalAngler]

I'm sure we crossed paths, it was definitely a fun show this past year kzbin.info/www/bejne/laSqqY2epJKjfJo

Good, i like it master👍👍👍👍👍👍😁

[@j.wildoutdoors8483]

I've yet to hook up with a ned rig. Been tossing them lots. Lost lots but never got picked up. Everything I've used is zman so far

[@FreshAsFxck]

Dude same here, i can not get a bite with a ned rig. Dropshot isnt much better, although have actually caught a few on it. Youd think for being 2 of what some would call the best finesse techniques, theyd be a bit more productive. Or i just suck. Thats possible.

[@j.wildoutdoors8483]

@@FreshAsFxck I dont think you suck, I think it's the rigs. Might work some places but some people also have confidence lures. I have mine that I know I'll hook up when I use them. Sometimes I feel like I dont give other things a fair try, but ned rigs i tried pretty hard. I also loose them like crazy on rocks and timber.

[@FreshAsFxck]

We just gotta keep at it i suppose. Eventually it has to work. Shakey head is another one that i cant buy a bite with lol. Maybe im just doomed to be a 1 bait wonder forever with my senkos lol. In any case, its time to go fishin. Tight lines brother 🎣

[@j.wildoutdoors8483]

@Caylem Locklear how would I do that so ots not public

[@alanreyes29]

Ned rig TRD from zman is the best.

His 25 career BASS tournament series wins are the most career wins on the Bassmasters tournament trail.

[@luckyluckingangling5981]

my first time i used a ned rig was not too long ago on the first cast i got a nice bass on the ned rig

[@luckyluckingangling5981]

I also find that the Googan squad has come out with a great ned rig worm that is what I used on my first ned rig set up. I notice that their soft plastic worms smell a little bit like jager, sweet licorice scent.

[@josephdurkin8180]

Getting a fish first cast is unlucky to me

Great seminar with a great fisherman but unfortunately with my ears anyway the audio on this was too echoey if there is such a word. I could make out most of it but the echo there just drowned out is talk but I could see what he was doing and that's what was important.

The guy filming needs to keep his mouth shout and quit moving the camera around so much.

[@FishnTheSouthOkanagan78]

The guys talking in the background while filming were really rude and annoying! I’m trying to hear what KVD has to say and now I have no clue what he said!

[@chrisao1987]

What the hell a pool really?

[@newera3757]

All this gear, ten of thousands of dollars to catch small fish - yes even big bass is small. Men up and start targeting 20lb + fish. Why? because everything below 20 lb is for kids.

ECHO CHAMBER 👎🏻 Subtitles please

[@EternalAngler]

I know right, they used a crappy mic and speaker system at Suburban Show Place where they filmed this, not my camera, hopefully next year they get a better setup. Using headphones does allow you to hear better, I use Seinheisser to edit my videos. Maybe when I get around to it, there's some way for me to translate and add subtitles on youtube. I guess I should of done that from the get go in adobe premiere.

[@midwestfischerman]

I'm going to try the KZbin auto-generated subtitles.

[@EternalAngler]

It's just a presentation man, people aren't looking at how many fish he catches a swimming pool, it's the fact that he has the most bassmaster wins and is the michael jordan of tournament bass fishing.

[@smoothhead8804]

Can you guys stop treating this like nascar the way you got ADVERTISEMENTS all over you? It’s fishing..... throw on a fishing hat and fucking FISH goshhh

[@EternalAngler]

Fishing is a lot more complex than that, lol, there's a reason why an angler like KVD comes on top over and over again in a bass tournament. One of the best ways for a sport to progress is by having the best of the best to compete in tournaments, having sponsors and companies like Strike King, this is how new lures are developed. Pros like VanDam give guidance to a company like Strike King on developing a new lure like the 12XD and 8.0, believe it or not both of these bass lures work very effective on musky. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqCcg6qFhpVrisk I had a friend catch a 44" musky just the other week on the 8.0! bit.ly/2YXYAuq This is also how you stimulate a local fishing economy, bring more popularity to the sport, Michigan and the Great Lakes are a multi-billion dollar fishing economy due to pros like KVD and Kim Stricker, they're responsible for bringing cabelas, bass pro up to Michigan, along with the bassmaster tournaments. Not to mention, fishing was the only pro sport to still be Televised and allowed to be performed during the Corona Pandemic because of easily allowing athletes to social distance. So yeah, the advertisements are a lot more meaningful than you think to our Country and Countrymen! Have a friend that lives up in Iron River, he said all the fishing tackle is cleared out at all the Walmarts in the UP of Michigan... Fishing is the most constructive sport because anyone can do it, pro or amateur alike, take it as seriously as you want or just tie on a worm and hook to have some fun. Stimulate your Vitamin D levels from the sun to better deal with the virus and also get in healthy cardio when you're casting and walking, most constructive sport there is, you can take it how serious you want to, it's up to the individual...

[@smoothhead8804]

Eternal Angler I fish with all different types of lures. I experiment with different methods as well. But I don’t walk around with advertisements on myself like a walking commercial lol

[@EternalAngler]

​@@smoothhead8804 Hahaha, well again, that's you, more power to you! But someone has to pay for Kevin's boat gas, traveling from one bass lake to the next competing in tournaments... Look, I'm not much into tournament fishing either, but things are changing, even the Googan Squad got sponsored. If you were Jon B and a had chance to travel the world, enjoy doing what you love by wearing a company's logo, would you do it? I'm sure you would! I've watched plenty of documentaries where too much corporate influence can ruin a good thing, music industry is a prime example. But so far with fishing, I don't see anything wrong with advertisements, what I don't like is monopolies, money channeling to one source considering Bass Pro now owns Cabelas, gotta make room for the small mom and pop fishing shops!
