Ott’s Garage | How To Ned Rig

[@feeshaholic]

I throw a ned rig all the time. One of my all time favorite presentations

The Bass been loving the Ned Rig here in West Virginia on Stonewall Jackson Lake!

[@brianlocal3]

I’ve been fishing jig heads for bass for a long time, but I always only just use like a larger crappie jig, and I have used a lot of Charlie Brewer slider heads and just finished them off the bottom. For the longest time, I cannot bring myself to buy the nerd heads mainly because I don’t like stocking a bunch of different tackle, and I also couldn’t understand that the jig head would make a difference , but after fishing, the net has for an extended period of time, I truly do believe the z man mushroom head makes a world of difference

Great tip thanks keep up the good work and fish on

I just started watching your videos a couple of months ago, and I've enjoyed them so very much. It's like listening to a friend explain something to me, very clear, concise, and informative. Thank You

[@jerrygirdner2753]

Couldn't agree with you more. Some of the guys that put out this type of video does way to much talking about stuff that kinda pretains to whatever they are talking about. Semper Fi from an old Marine

THANK YOU for sharing your wisdom and your faith!

[@rodcashman4793]

Great information and break down

[@brianperry4521]

Finally tried the ned,,last year. Caught three, in ten cast. It’s a good technique

[@shanescott3168]

I recently started fishing the Ned and have been amazed at how effective it is to catch bass of all sizes.

[@Blackbird0216]

the only knock i have with the ned rig is the health of the fish..bc alotta times they gulp and swallow it. i hate it,i always try everything i can do to get it removed w/o causing the fish trauma so they can live on. For tht one reason ive moved away from using it but i do still fish the bigger sized mag shroomz.

Interesting video. I was surprised there was no mention of Z-man. Must not be a sponsor.

[@truck57us]

Same here. I fish the TRD in several colors/sizes with and without spinners; a bit pricey but worth it! :)

[@clarynick]

Awesome!!! Love the ned rig!! I get the Ocho pack at Walmart and parallel them down a dock front and all over the lake!! Now I got a lot of heads and will cut my stick worms to fit!!! Thank you sir!!

[@s.allison7406]

Good info however, you did not really tell us how to work the bait. Can you do another video sometime with more detail on techniques of how to work the bait? Thanks

[@jameseason9949]

We often try to over-complicate things. You aren't the only hardheaded one! Thanks for the backstory and the tourney catches.

[@greghiday]

Thanks Ott. I have been using the neg rig more recently and it is paying off. It works great on those river smallmouth. Good luck at Redcrest and safe travels.

[@ronforeman5317]

Recently returned to fishing but back in the day I fished a lot of slider worms. That's real similar to swimming a light ned rig back to the boat. 🙂

[@PatrickC63]

Ned Rig is one of the must have on St Clair! Good stuff!

[@XxNiteStockerxX]

I always thought it was pronounced “finicky” worm. You’re the pro though with the sponsorship and intel

[@jeramyh9344]

Thanks for the good info. I caught my first fish on an OG Tiny today. It was a Rainbow Trout, but it's still a fish. I just finished setting up a pole for Ned Rigs and I can't wait to catch my first bass on one.

[@TN-Vols-Fan]

Thanks for the great video Ott! I love throwing a Ned Rig just about anywhere. Sorry I missed you at De'Arbonne. I was dealing with my first ever kidney stone!

[@strat40th937]

A podcast I listen to called Tackle Talk had Ned Kehde on its February 8th podcast.

[@robertjennings3063]

Ive heard people say they wont throw it cause it catches small fish....ive caught some hawgs including my PB smallmouth at 5 10 ounces. Yes, you catch alot of small fish, but if you like to fish for numbers, you cant beat the ned rig!

[@jerrygirdner2753]

What is the coldest water that you will use the ned rig? And how early can I can start the use it? I live in East Tennessee and I fish South Holston and Watauga lake which are bother pretty clear and deep. Just wondering when to start throwing it in the spring. Thanks and Stay safe out there on and off the water. Semper Fi from an old Marine

Ned rig will work all winter. I don’t think it has a season it won’t work.

[@tommywalker741]

Ott what knot do you use on your leader on this setup 🙏

[@williamschneider6811]

Ott, How do you fish the bait after casting it out?

[@robertjennings3063]

Im not Ott, but i will answer your question. I usually let it sink to the bottom, and move it slowly across the bottom like fishing a texas rig. Ive seen people throw it out and let it sink, then retrieve it very fast off the bottom with sucess too.
