Also known as the "Midwest Finesse Rig", the Ned Rig (named for In-Fisherman magazine writer Mr. Ned Kehde) is gaining increased popularity across the nation simply because it works - and works well.   A Ned Rig is essentially a small (1/32d to 1/8 oz) mushroom jig head (with or without weed guard) upon which is mounted a small plastisol or ElaZtech worm, creature bait, tube or other variation.  The Ned Rig will typically catch fish when all other presentations won't, and large bass love them.  Z-Man lures offer a large variety of jig heads as well as buoyant, soft and 10x durable finesse lures specifically designed for Ned rigging.  Ozark Finesse Jig heads are also a very popular rigging choice along with other types of jig heads.  Fished slowly on relatively light spinning tackle, Ned Rigs catch all sorts of species in great numbers in ponds, lakes and moving water.  The video shows a very small representation of fish caught on Ned Rigs in SW, Central and NE Missouri in the past 18 +/- months.  Enjoy the show!
