Buyer's Guide: Ned Rig Baits And Tips For Year Round Success!

The Ned Rig has become the most popular finesse presentation in bass fishing! There is something about that little worm standing up on the bottom that just gets bit when nothing else will. With its surge in popularity, every major brand in the industry has jumped on board, offering a variety of “Ned” style baits. With all these new baits, its getting harder to know which baits you can count on to actually catch fish.

In today’s Buyer’s Guide we’ve narrowed it down to 7 baits and two heads to meet virtually any circumstance. If you want to narrow it down even further, you could pair it all the way down to two consistent baits then choose one “unique” bait to mix it up from time to time. This technique is very simple, don’t let the hundreds of baits coming to market fool you into overcomplicating it.

Below you’ll find links to our favorite baits, in order of appearance. We’ve also included our top colors for each bait, our favorite heads, and the rods and reels we use to throw them. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Buyer's Guide: Ned Rig Baits And Tips For Year Round Success!

The Ned Rig has become the most popular finesse presentation in bass fishing! There is something about that little worm standing up on the bottom that just gets bit when nothing else will. With its surge in popularity, every major brand in the industry has jumped on board, offering a variety of “Ned” style baits. With all these new baits, its getting harder to know which baits you can count on to actually catch fish.

In today’s Buyer’s Guide we’ve narrowed it down to 7 baits and two heads to meet virtually any circumstance. If you want to narrow it down even further, you could pair it all the way down to two consistent baits then choose one “unique” bait to mix it up from time to time. This technique is very simple, don’t let the hundreds of baits coming to market fool you into overcomplicating it.

Below you’ll find links to our favorite baits, in order of appearance. We’ve also included our top colors for each bait, our favorite heads, and the rods and reels we use to throw them. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Buyer's Guide: Best $500 Rod and Reel Combos!

$500 Combos are the best “Bang For The Buck” in the entire industry! Some of these rods should be priced hundreds of dollars higher but thankfully, they remain very affordable. If you’re looking to take your angling to the next level, any of these rod and reel combos will help you do it. From the Shimano Expride’s incredible sensitivity, to the Megabass Orochi’s incredible actions, there is something at this price point for every angler!

Every time you move up in price, you gain sensitivity and longevity. The jump in quality from $400 combos to $500, is the biggest increase at any price point in bass fishing. Some of these rods skip right over the middle and function as truly high-end rods. You won’t find a more sensitive rod than an Expride without spending $400 or more! You won’t find more refined components than on an Orochi at nearly any price. And you won’t find more dialed, technique specific actions, than on the IMX-Pros.

Below you’ll find links to the 6 lines of rods we recommend, along with all of our top choices by technique. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
