Ya I have definitely seen the effectiveness of a Ned rig this winter but if the fish want somthing that has a slower fall or more action I promise you won't be disappointed.

For me Ned rigs work great in colder months but this rig is a warm water presentation, where I live the bass were finished spawning in early April so it has been very warm for a while in GA so the fish are very active and want more erratic action than the Ned rig can offer. I'm not saying it is the best lure all year in every region but, when the water warms up where you live I urge you to at least try it.

haha I wish

I thought up the 56 rig a while back in early April, I have fished it in various conditions and many diffent bodies of water big lakes, small ponds, rivers, you name it and it has out preformed all the other lures every. Single. Day. I guess I should probably tell you what you need to rig it and how to fish it. What you need for the rig is a robo worm and a wacky hook, I use all the sizes of robo worm for the 4.5 inch I use a #1 Ike approved hook, for the 6 inch I use the 1/0 size or for a faster fall the 2/0 but either works great and for the big 7 inch worm I use a 3/0 hook. Color isn't too big of a deal I use a morning dawn color during overcast days or dirty water( also witches t in dirty water) and either a b hite delight or arons magic for high visiblty days, to rig the bait you have first bend the wacky hook so that the point is parral with eye this is crucial for a good hook up ratio. Next tie on the hook then thread the hook through the front of the nose then go straight down through the worm then pull the hook all the way out past the eye then hook the bait with hook point exposed on the back of the worm. For line and gear I use 15 pound braid to a long 10 pound floro leader. Sense this is a weight less bait you need spinning gear. I use a medium power extra fast 6'6" rod with a 200 size reel. The real test of this rig was when me and a friend went to a park lake know for being extremely pressured he was throwing a wacky rig I I was throwing my 56 rig I cuaght around ten and he cought none and to prove this wasn't a coincidence whe went again with the same results until he switched to my rig and caught 7. I really think I have something special I hope you guys will try it and tell me what you think all you have to do is tie it on and twitch twitch pause and you will catch fish.

haha, that is some muddy water believe it or not you can catch fish in that water on spinner baits and catterbaits in cart colors.

hey that is great I have honestly never counted, but I have caught many this year and 4 over five pounds so far. keep fishing and tight lines

Its probably a largemouth but if it had a red tint in its eyes its a spotted bass. welcome to the forum fellow georgian

I lip them most of the time when I'm in the yak, but if I'm in a bass boat and its a true monster I use the net.

wow! tough conditions if the water was clear I bet you would of caught a few, but in the case of minor cold fronts with mild or slightly heavy rain, as long as the wind is safe, I would fish these condition, don't let this experience keep you from the water. Some of my biggest bass have been on days similar to yours, on swimbaits. Plus there is some appeal to getting out on the water in tough conditions, its always a grind, but definitely worth it.

1. in my experience bass spawn in 15 feet of water but rarely if ever more 2. blue gill were most likely feeding on the eggs that is all I can answer, never fished a quarry spawn.

Its definitely worth it google cold water fishing baits and get on the water, here in Georgia the water never freezes over so I fish trough the winter and catch fish.

I would anchor down right on the shore, next to the main points cast out a huddleston and slow crawl it back.

Thanks for the feedback I would definitely agree, I enjoy throwing the garntarel, and also enjoy the mattlures. Ya! I would definitely recommend throwing it, (i'm guessing its the opitmum boom boom and I love that bait, great for spring)

Because braid is already very thin I don't go under 15 pound test with a lighter leader if I want really light line I get 9-10 pound floro

If you have a fish finder of a friend with one you might be surprised at how many submerged logs, stumps , ledges and underwater gas lines there are. Also if your pond has a inflow and a outflow there should be a creek bed that not only holds fish but some of the biggest in the pond espicaly in the summer.
