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: Craw and Creature Baits for Year Round Success!
Creature baits are not all created equal! In today’s buyer’s guide we’re simplifying creatures and craws by narrowing it down to 8 baits for different situations. Each of these baits will help you catch more fish throughout the year! Whether you’re punching mats, flipping, throwing a wobble head, or working a jig, there is a creature here that you can rely on.
These 8 baits all have very unique applications. One is best on wobble head, another is a bait we exclusively punch with, and yet another is the bait we turn to early in the year. There are a lot of great baits on the market but when you discover a key situation for a specific bait, you’ve got a bait that will put fish in the boat over and over again. If you want to shorten your learning curve, pay close attention to why and when we’re throwing each of these baits, then give them a try on your lakes.
We’ve included links to all 8 of these baits below. We’ve also included our favorite colors for each, the gear we use to rig them, and a couple great “All-Around” creature bait rods at different price points. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Buyer's Guide: Best Dropshot Baits and Gear!
Today’s Buyer’s Guide is all about dropshotting! The dropshot is a reliable way to catch bass throughout the year. Paired with the right baits, it can produce big bass as well. We’ve selected a handful of baits for this video that work exceptionally well at different times of year and in different conditions. Come along as we dial in the dropshot.
This rig can excel when the water is cold. When nothing else is working the dropshot can keep getting bit. The key is knowing which baits will give you the action you’re looking for, and how to work them. A lot of anglers over-work the dropshot, meaning they shake it way too much. In the cold months in particular, the dropshot is all about a soft touch and subtle presentation. As the water warms in Spring, you can mix up the presentation with more movement and different baits to continue seeing success.
Below you’ll find links to our favorite baits in the order they were discussed in the video. We’ve also included color recommendations, favorite hooks and weights for properly rigging the baits, and some of our favorite rods and reels for fishing this technique. All of the links go directly to TackleWarehouse 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: Craw and Creature Baits for Year Round Success!
Creature baits are not all created equal! In today’s buyer’s guide we’re simplifying creatures and craws by narrowing it down to 8 baits for different situations. Each of these baits will help you catch more fish throughout the year! Whether you’re punching mats, flipping, throwing a wobble head, or working a jig, there is a creature here that you can rely on.
These 8 baits all have very unique applications. One is best on wobble head, another is a bait we exclusively punch with, and yet another is the bait we turn to early in the year. There are a lot of great baits on the market but when you discover a key situation for a specific bait, you’ve got a bait that will put fish in the boat over and over again. If you want to shorten your learning curve, pay close attention to why and when we’re throwing each of these baits, then give them a try on your lakes.
We’ve included links to all 8 of these baits below. We’ve also included our favorite colors for each, the gear we use to rig them, and a couple great “All-Around” creature bait rods at different price points. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
