The Ned Rig is a finesse fishing technique that involves using small plastic stickbaits, craws, or creatures paired with a light mushroom-shaped jighead with a finesse wire hook. Using a buoyant plastic bait is another primary characteristic of this presentation as this allows the bait to stand up on the bottom.
This rig was originally created by outdoor writer Ned Kehde and popularized in the Midwest – so the name Ned Rig comes from its originator, although some anglers refer to it as Midwest finesse rigging.

Setting up a Ned Rig is as simple as the lure and hook. All you do is tie on a mushroom head jig, thread the tail of your preferred soft plastic over the shank of the hook and you're good to go.
Fish routinely hit the Ned Rig on the fall, and if you're using too heavy a jighead, the bait will plummet past the fish straight to the bottom. A lighter head will simply keep the bait in the strike zone for longer and will allow for that tantalizing, slow descent that makes the Ned Rig so effective.

Must have caught 50 fish on one bait!
This bait is a topwater bass catching machine works wonderful
This bait has great action and just the right size to imitate a real minnow swimming, Snook go crazy chasing this lure.
Gamamatsu hooks very sharp nice hooks for large mouth bass
These get even louder when you pull 'em across the pads, the water boils, and the top water blows up. I get really good hookups on big bass and pike using a size 4 worm hook and 65 lbs braided line. Find a mess and throw it. It's one of two plastics I use, and the only frog I use. So nice to have all the colors here at a great price! Now go buy someone else's favorite frog ;-)
