20 minute fishing lecture is better than the greatest day at work

sam iam 🤣 truth!

[@iamkarlmeyer]

I've used the Ned Rig for about a year now...I do pretty well on it just with trial and error, but I think these tips and different presentations are going to really help my cause out. Thank you for taking the time to explain it all.

[@AFishBicycle]

Watching this at work and thinking about the fishing I’ll be doing after work! Thanks for all the info!

[@garyb1635]

Love your long format shows breaking techniques down. Always tune in. Keep up the good work.

[@garyb1635]

I like the long format very informative videos. The whole reason I subscribed is because I was able to learn how to bass fish. I know the knowledge I'm getting from you is legit. Thanks for your work.

Fantastic. I'm a trick worm junky from East TX but I will try this on deeper ledges. Love small creature baits.

Just started using the Ned rig nick and im so late on it but watched 6 videos and couldn’t get the information I needed. Found your video and it’s the best one by far and that’s the information I needed. Thanks

[@minenotyours2411]

I really appreciate that you Actualy took the time to explain each part ..... I am a nobody that fishes year round and you spot on

[@douglascarr2991]

What a fantastic job. The video was great I picked up an a ned jig about 4 years ago because it looked funny at the bait store, it set in my tackle box almost a year before I decided to use it . It has increased my fishing intake 75%. easily out fishes most anglers on side of me because they don't understand it yet you showed all the techniques that I came to learn the hop hop hop, the hop hop and glide, and the slow swim technique. I mainly started using these baits for Crappie but Bass will jump on the bait five to one when fishing for Crappie. These techniques have caught every fish under the sun, large catfish, giant Bass, hundreds of crappie including a park record, and a 10.7 lb bowfin. You covered every field perfectly sadly it took me 4 years to learn all this information but you definitely covered all the angles perfectly. I am a bank fisherman and love fishing the shallows, large and small ponds and Park ponds. so the technique is super excellent.

[@BassGeek]

Some great information. Tight lining works great on steep banks in the winter.

[@grandwonder5858]

I've been using this "Ned Rig" since I was a kid back in the early 90's! Back then I simply used crawfish style softbaits or straight-tailed worms that were kind of torn off around the area where the large offset hooks had opened up a big hole in my soft baits and so in order to get more uses for these baits I simply rigged them up with a regular ball-head jighead. I guess since what I did wasn't shown on TV shows nobody knew there are probably hundreds of guys like me who have discovered this type of fishing well before those professional fishermen started using it and claiming it as their "invention!"

[@GLOCKCOPG23]

Grand Wonder Nailed it! True history right there.

[@highjenks3d]

I was an 80s kid and it all started with the beetle spin and mister twister yeah it caught bluegill and perch, but it was the crossover introduction for a kid into the art of bass angling

[@johnarcher9480]

I was wondering the same thing. We did this for river small mouth in the late 80’s early 90’s Never thought it was all that revolutionary.

[@joshdrumheller8115]

I have been doing this for a long time and catching monsters. I didn't really know that what I was doing was really a ned rig. Great video. I learned a ton!

[@zpt5394]

I've recently started fishing about 2-3 months ago. Once I discovered the ned rig I instantly started outfishing everyone from the bank in ponds, lakes and rivers. My PB Bass is 6.5 lbs and I've caught up to 12 fish in one outing. I noticed right away it is not very scalable for really snaggy or weedy areas. I recently started putting my TRD lures on weedless and I've started saving a lot of money on jigheads.

[@juanceballos4121]

Thank you nick for all the helpful tips. And all the videos you make for us. I’ve been watching your channel ever since I started fishing in January of 2018. Haven’t caught a lot of fish. Lol. But watching your videos has definitely helped improve confidence and my ability to land more fish. Me and some of my friends have learned a lot from you. And we appreciate you nick! #teamNicktheIF

[@teedub127]

I'm 65, live in the Puget Sound and for some reason I never got into bass fishing but my grandson and I are tired of the lull between trout and salmon season and saltwater kayak fishing can be a bit wild even on good days in the summer so we have been expanding our fishing opportunities to include Bass, crappie and yellow perch. I, for one, enjoy in-depth videos for the educational value and if things get too slow there's always the FF button. Great video and thanks from a new sub.

those new ZMan TRD CrawZ have some nice floating pincers. good insight on flexible versus stiff hooks. I use the NedLockZ (stiff hook) in the marsh for finessin them redfish but now I know if im working a rock jetty I should probably switch to a more flexy hook to loose less gear,

[@innovativeatavist159]

I have a nearly 40 year old fishing book from the 80's that suggests throwing a shortened and split floating trick worm on a mushroom head during a cold front. Ned rigs are just the packaging of an idea that has been around for a very long time. So many "innovations" are just companies making specific products for things that savvy anglers were already doing by modifying existing tackle. Many smallmouth anglers in particular have been throwing Ned rigs since finesse soft plastics and standup/mushroom jigheads existed. They just didn't call them that. The stretchier, tougher plastics that happen to float were first popularized for Texas and Carolina rigging. It's not that big of a jump to stick one on a jighead. I used to do it with just the tails from lizards and beat the tar out of picky fish in small heavily pressured waters. I'd use a slider head in weeds and timber and a standard open hook jighead in clear rocky streams. *Insert Pink Floyd's "Money" here*

[@lenraby5920]

Top drawer video brother. I started using the ned rig on UK canals just out of interest to see if it worked, it did oh boy it did. With the over hanging trees it resembles slugs and all manner of critters that drop into the food chain. It's scores me big Perch and Chub, also the occasional Pike (hence wire trace). I say if you want to learn the Ned then fish it until you learn its strengths and weaknesses. Experiment as well such as using a Ned on a Tokyo rig to keep it above silt.
