Great video Steve! Here in southern Brazil, we have been using a similar setup for about 10 years for catching Traíras (Hoplias Malabaricus). The difference is that we don't use a swivel or split ring, just a snap with a weight and hook. It's very practical for changing the weight of the sinkers and the size of the hooks. Keep up the great work! Greetings from Brazil.

I've been experimenting with different iterations of this basic idea. One constant pain when using the offset widegap hook (#1 in my case) is that when you catch a fish, the TRD tends to slide up the line. Not a problem with a traditional plastic, but the elaztech stuff makes it tough to get it back in place on the hook. I'm hoping to find a simple way to prevent that from happening.

Question - what if I just threw a Zman TRD on a small EWG, tie it on without the ring or swivel, and put a split shot the tag end maybe a quarter inch away from the knot? I understand the ability of the weight and hook to move freely on the ring on the Jig Rig may be part of the advantage there, but I'm usually of the mindset that less termina tackle is better. I'll have to give it a try, basically a micro drop shot or simply a drop shot with a very short dropper.

@@Tomc8030 Yes, that's certainly possible, but my guess is that it would be nominal. I have more confidence with the Z Man EWG offset than any other Ned rig, and I've tried them all. Assuming you're using a soft ned bait that floats, it stands straight up when dragged or hopped across the bottom. I get snagged way less than with a standard open hook setup. I'll try this other method, but a lot is going on. A clip, a hanging weight, and a hook. I try to err on the side of less is more when fishing bass and the EWG ned rig is a simple line to jig, and you're fishing. If you're using a six inch bait perhaps his method might be easier. I typically don't use anything larger than the 4 inch TRD when ned rigging and this works great with the EWG Texas rigged.

Would love to find a cheaper weight option
@SteveRogersOutdoors8 ай бұрын
They are pricey. I believe there are some other brands that have much more reasonable clip on weights.

So why not use a shaky head?
@SteveRogersOutdoors8 ай бұрын
Great question, and I had that in the video and edited it out to shorten the video a bit. Basically, I use this one when I want that really small profile instead of a longer shaky setup.

I have the links in the description for the jig rig components I used for this one. Thanks for watching!

I think it wont stand up as good, but for most senarios it works just as well.

Looks just like a Tokyo rig

It definitely is a really scaled down version of one.

Why not just use the weedless NED head
@troyrussell1775 ай бұрын
That’s doesnt look good on the fall. Maybe it works for his area/ maybe it works I general. It shouldn’t replace the Ned rig though. It’s very different. You get many hits on a ned rig on the fall. I fish my Ned rigs with a crazy light weight and so it falls super slowly, and that’s what triggers the fish. This b lines to the bottom. Reminds of Neko rig more than it does a Ned rig . Meh to each their own 🤷

HMM 🤔 🤔 Sounds interesting , but the majority of the lakes that I fish are covered with vegetation...
