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.
