NED RIG BASICS

[@mattquinlan4629]

I really think you and Missile are something ‘real’. My family supports you and the company; thank you John.

[@fishingwithaaron314]

This is awesome John! Thanks for the tips!

[@jelmo1057]

Great video John. Interestingly, I grew upon in Ks. In the 60’s and 70’s and while these weren’t available commercially back then we used this exact technique making our own jig heads and using night crawlers. Very effective in the creeks and farm ponds. Thanks for sharing.

[@lsnead72]

My cousin got me into Ned rigging. I was a little skeptical but quickly learned that it works.

[@neilgwinn7378]

Awesome video. You answered my questions. Thanks John

[@Meight50five]

Thank you so much for actually explaining the technique HOW to fish this bait. So many videos dont do that, and often stop at colors, sizes and rigging it up. You just earned a subscribe for that.

[@Roboworm99]

Definitely need to play around with this rig more. Reminds me of way back in the day fishing Mann’s Sting Ray Grubs. Thanks for breaking it down.

[@kendalllunsford775]

I also fished that bait in the day....!!!!

[@alperry62]

Trying this rig out at Toledo Bend next month...trying to pick up tips on how to fish it...thanks John...

[@tonysaylc]

I recently started using the ned rig and it's my go to lure! I was killing it last week with it! I thought maybe the bass were just going to bite anything so I threw the lipless crankbait, swimbait, and topwater. They didn't bite on any of it. Went back to the ned rig and they starting biting again.

[@buzzworth2396]

Good video John!! I've been doing this technique for many years. Love it!!!! Funny how I used to get picked on for " fishin those silly little worms that only catch dinky fish". Now I'm asked to teach someone what I do. Walking out the door to go drown some drop craws and thought I'd watch one more time. Good luck in Tennessee tournament 👍

[@kevinhenderson7980]

Thanks John. I use it on 2 different rods I own. 1 is medium 7ft, 1 is medium light 6 ft. The 6ft rod is a crappie rod but works great for casting accuracy. I prefer mono, 6 lb on 6 free, 8 lb on 7 ft rod. Also the medium light can throw those 1/32 oz Ned rigs further.

[@JohnCrews]

Good info! Thanks

[@dragon72]

Love your videos. Lots of great information for us weekend elites. LOL. Thanks for making these easy to understand. 👍😁

[@glenndaugherity6187]

Great vid John ! The Ned is our High School team’s favorite go to presentation for sure ! The video with Ned Kehde is a great explanation also !

[@saltysailor141]

Really great presentation…. Both the bait and the channel🤘🏻

[@thepunisher374]

Great video, love your channel. It's funny, I remember when we just called it a jig head and grub back in the day. New name and now it's a sexy "new" way to fish. LOL

[@JohnCrews]

😂 True

[@lenraby5920]

I’m from England we don’t have Bass but we have Perch and boy those Perch love the Ned. Really good video and really good advise for everyone even us Brits 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@petegonsiorowski5745]

i was definitely overlooking the Ned rig. thought i could just put a senko on but now realize its mostly used with shorter baits. Thank you!

[@grzegorzgrzegorz6927]

Bardzo dobry film. Jestem z Polski, dopiero rozpoczynam przygodę z ned rig i sporo dowiedziałem się z tego filmu.

[@chuychavez9]

Just started fishing this technique more recently. One of my Go-To’s now. Always have it tied on! 🤙🏽

[@rbilardo47]

Great video and explanation on how to rig and fish it. I used it yesterday for the first time in a retention pond and caught a 3.25 lb bass and another 3 pounder but I couldn't land him because the hook I was using was cheap and really straightened out. Thanks for the tips.

[@nills2gills811]

Cant help but say how absolute fire your beard is

[@JohnCrews]

👊🏼😂

[@kendalllunsford775]

Awesome vid john.... This year's deal for me is to up my finesse game.... This will certainly be part of it....!!!! keep the great content coming....!!!!

[@jakeemperdue7814]

I love this rig I had an awesome fishing day using this rig very versatile rig 💪🏾

[@mikewilliams4336]

I'm from up North and love this technique. I've been doing it for the past 30 years. Except up there we call it jigging. The Linders turned me onto this decade's ago.

[@JohnCrews]

Yes! Funny how things go in trends.

[@dondwyer1366]

Great ned rig video and very well explained!

[@randybuchanan2110]

It works in shallow and deep water. Just bump your weight up. Fished on flooded timber Texas rigged w a pegged 1/16 oz bullet weight and caught bass w/o hanging up w jig head. Fished submerged weeds Texas rigged w/o jig head w less hang ups and caught fish. It's my go to bait this winter so far. Looking forward to spring and summer.

[@bassbarge]

Just bought my missle baits ned rig kit, can't wait to get on the water this weekend and test it out, thanks for the video

[@matthewblankenship7968]

The Ned bomb is a killer too 💯

[@jeremybrumley25]

Can’t wait to try this with the tips I learned. Can’t watch to catch spawn bass on it. Thanks. Good luck this season

[@JohnCrews]

Thanks. You too!

[@OMGMOTO]

Such great information. Thank you, brother.

[@timjarrold6418]

Just subscribed as I was looking for how-tos with a Ned. I will be a Co on the Detroit, StClair and StLawrence rivers this coming (2022) summer and Im wondering how much diff a head weight I will use compared to the usual in Lake StClair proper with little current. Thanks.

[@Thumptherapyfishing]

I definitely appreciate the info. I want to get better at Ned Rig fishing.

[@Papisartee]

How did it go

[@shootermcgavin991]

Love the xplasma. Very underrated line!

[@lucascottrell9715]

Liking your instructional videos. Even being an experienced angler I'm picking up little things. We all know those little things can make all the difference.. keep um coming. I want to find out what 11.2 feels like!!!

[@kimberlyw307]

I use a Joe Burns rod, 7 foot, a Pflueger reel, 8lb test, and 1/10 Zman head. No need to set the hook. Just start winding and hook em in the top of the mouth almost every time! I absolutely love my NED!! Biggest I've ever caught on it was a 4lb. Bucket. 😁

[@gregsmith8910]

Thanks John! Answer my questions about the Ned rig.

[@lexingtonlad5745]

I have to use this set up with a wire trace. Pike love the ned rig.

[@DudeLetsFish]

Dude...LETS FISH!!!

[@FishingLakeCountry]

Doing bait reviews for bass and crappie. Used the Ned Bomb to make a video, this bait made it easy. This is a very good bait and bass love them. Thanks FLC.

[@JohnCrews]

Awesome! Thank you

[@KJMFISHING]

Thanks for the info, I thought you were just supposed to drag it on the bottom. Makes more sense the way you described, because that little bait can be hard to see unless it's a clear bottom. I throw a 1/5 and 1/6 oz Zman head with a variety of baits, but I like the Zman TRD craws. I did just get some Missle Baits for my drop shot bait, too bad everything is starting to ice over here and I'll have to wait 4 months to try it out.

[@andrewluberto]

How is the 1/5 oz ?

[@KJMFISHING]

@@andrewluberto - It catches a lot of fish.

[@andrewluberto]

Kayaking_Kev welp time to go buy me some hooks then

[@Basskingdom7]

Great video Jon Crews!! I just started tinkering around with this technique and I love it, especially when winter is coming…. Question: does it matter if you fish it in dingy or clear water? My lakes around here are pretty much stained.

[@evankirshy131]

Good stuff, very well explained!

[@goreyboggs]

Love this Ned! I use medium-light tho with all 8lb mono

[@wesh388]

Yeah I figured mono would be the way to go, gives a slow fall rate

[@luvingtheoutdoors6348]

Do you ever use a swivel for line twist, or does the braid eliminate that. I've used the ned rig on straight mono, and literally the line twist gets so bad, and can't even fish

[@JohnCrews]

That’s really odd. You might be letting the bait spiral down too much. The braid does help though

[@tombiga8254]

Good info, i would love to use a small Crawfish bait on this. Just like using a tube another rig that will dominate.

[@Dmnazdaq]

Thanks for explaining HOW to fish this rig!

[@arturomoreno4911]

Will the ned rig work for muddy/stained water... my fishery is very dirty water can’t see 6 or 8 inches down

[@jefferyholland]

I have caught a a crap load on the retrieve swimming it. Not sure why but probably a 3rd of my ned rig catches have been while reeling it in.

[@johnrodgers6559]

I noticed that the head that you are using seems to be round. Most of the net rigs that I see have more of a mushroom style head. Is this important?

[@SoSaysYou]

How important is the spinning reel gear ratio? What is recommended?

[@TylerGoesFishing]

Love the Ned Rig!

[@garretmcr]

its my go to river lure, smallmouth and rockbass just can't help it, but I prefer the bugz from zman for the river since we have a lot of crawfish and red lips.

[@LeskoBrandon2x]

So what’s the deal with spinners being a “must”. Will they just not bite on a caster? Genuinely curious

[@mikel.4885]

If your starting off what one weight head would you get to start ned rigging

[@JohnCrews]

1/16

[@mikel.4885]

@@JohnCrews thanks for the info i wanna try ned rigging out but didnt want to get alot of different heads and then not like it...i fish gaston lake and buggs Island and i think it would qork great at them

[@hunterpigg5662]

Fished the z-man pb&j and it was killing them !! Prob my new favorite plastic to use

[@tylerhopkins5373]

Man that braided line is super bright. What brand is it?

[@ryanprellwitz8565]

Ned Rig with a Sunfish IPA Ned Bomb is a killer for smallies in Wisconsin rivers for me.

[@jaivette]

Great video thanks

[@KICKERMAN124]

You guys are lucky with good spots. Down here in Louisiana everything is over fished

[@bradyfishing2828]

Yes so much

[@davidwright1093]

Great video.

[@jackdixon4530]

What specific colors are you having more success on. I’m referring to non generic colors.

[@JohnCrews]

The baitfish colors like the Ficsholicious in the Ned Bomb is a really good color.

[@NatureIntoAction]

excellent vid

[@mnbassintv2849]

Would this work on a ultra light rod?

[@leonardomurillo7361]

I do not understand the dislikes, this was an awesome video bro!

[@05Rawhide]

I use a red glass bead and a 1/32 oz. weight . I use a 2/0 , 1/0, 1, and 2 size hooks. I use a spinning reel on a 6'6" or 7' medium rod with 17 lb. Nanofil braid. I use a 3500 size reel.

[@ChrisV-]

How can you tell when it hits the bottom before you start lifting rod?

[@FarrenHansen]

You should see the line go slack. Using the bright braid backing helps with that. Hope this helps

[@rajeshrajes5019]

Nice 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@Shawn_Lai]

Love your technique videos John! There are really helpful and I learn so much from them. Thank you! I need one of them missile miracle shirts! Haha. You prolly go out there and scare the bad into the boat!

[@barryweible3810]

Why the leader? Can you just use all flouro?

[@JohnCrews]

You can do full fluoro. The braid just handles better, casts further, and gets better sensitivity.

[@rojo3528]

Good Video!

[@justinlemos1240]

Good video

[@beatbox1212122]

Just caught a 8lber on 8lb test on this rig!

[@JohnCrews]

AWESOME!

[@SergioGomez-by2hm]

will 20 lb braid be ok?

[@marcuspiera]

I wouldn't use it. Not for a finesse presentation. I use 10lb spiderwire (braid) to a 6lb monofilament leader. It works well

[@hdvictoryford5329]

Funny, my Bud was telling me about this NED rig. He wasn't sure of the details, so I watched this video. This is what is funny to me. We used this tech decades ago, yes, decades ago. It did not have a name given it. It was just another way to fish. Now they give it a name, tell you need to have a certain rod, reel, line, weight, well you get the picture. Such BS, to get you to go out and buy buy buy. Put a 1/16 jig head on any appropriate lure and you will catch a lot of fish.

[@TheRecon1a]

I have caught all my fish on 15lb spiderwire That was before I started watching more videos about how to use it. Keep in mind I just got back into bass fishing again After a long time not fishing.

[@karasmith1928]

awesome bait

[@ToddReuterOutdoors]

Is this a 3D LUT you’re using on this video? It’s beautiful. Also, can’t wait to try the Ned bomb!

[@sammasamsara]

Thanks guy

[@brianlee677]

I can't bring myself to use spinning for this technique my Aldebaran with Avail Microcast spool and hedgehog bearings will throw 1-7 grams with no issue of course this took me years to get down but it is much more fun for me personally.

[@Tommylamb16]

Best bait in the world (Stop giving away my secrets lol)

[@deangruwell6555]

Lol @ secret ... kids are started out on the ned rig

[@bradleyreams1026]

Ned missile looks deadly

Using the ned more often now!#RippinLipsInc.

[@Boyers-baits]

Dude teach me how to walleye fish from shore everybody talks it’s so easy to catch a Walleyes on this riga and this one that’s when you have accessibility to everywhere I’m telling you it’s possible but you got to be in the right Area especially late summer walleye

[@JohnCrews]

Gotcha. Many walleye live in deeper water so rivers might be a better choice for you

[@Boyers-baits]

@@JohnCrews I’m fishing the St. Mary’s River for the most part I’m just not able to find them I guess I could pick a less tricky body of water ehh

[@kellysatterfield5384]

Great video! I know you are busy. I wish you had more time to do these instructional videos that are bait specific.

[@JohnCrews]

I am trying. Thanks

[@scottiefc]

Cashion rod gang 🔥🔥

[@thestainNY]

"Very Informative"

[@c.shoefish]

Medium Power, not action🙄...action refers to the taper. You want a medium or medium light power, fast action for most bass fishing finesse applications

[@JohnCrews]

Yes! Thanks for making sure people got that correct.

[@eeropennanen5860]

How about those biceps! 💪

[@stevew5146]

Everyone's catchin fish except me.

[@JohnCrews]

Oh no!

[@truthtone58]

i been fishing like that for years. I have killed monster crappie in the past. It's an old technique with a new name.

[@robjones7410]

I have better success on the initial cast to leave the bail open until it hits bottom and then reel the slack..repeat

[@JohnCrews]

Thanks for the tip.

[@johnnybravoski7048]

For cryin out loud... Get on with it, son. FIRST cast at 6:34?

[@JohnCrews]

HAHAHA! Sorry.

[@jojodiver8706]

Why are we now calling it the "Ned Rig"? We just called in jigging back in the 70's.

[@delwigzieful]

It's easy to fish people keep it simple is the key ALIEN

[@dormie9]

Never a mention of THE most important thing to know. How to set/utilize the small and narrow hook. Bass bite these every which way you present them slowly in my experience. 75%+ of your success rate in my opinion is what you are doing after the bite, not before.

[@ZZ430T56]

Gotta use a weedless head or ya aint throwin it where the fish aree at.

[@JohnCrews]

Depends on the lake. Sometime you are correct.

[@TN_MuskyAddiction]

I agree 110%!
