That's cause you use flouto Spinning reals ans flouro dont play nice together.

I use mono for Ned rigs thus far, including on my new spinning rig. I do not like that f stuff. I also have several BC reels and rods that do an adequate job of casting the typical Ned rigs. Two are very old early 80s Daiwa 50 size reels and my new Curado 70 seems decently capable as well.

Try using a light braid (something in the 8 pound range), with or without a leader.  Far better than flouro or mono for ned rigs IMO.

Shroomz heads are notorious for the baitkeeper coming off.

The Midwest finesse guys around here just super glue the bait to the hook.

I don't personally do that very often, because I am super glue challenged. tend to get it everywhere except where it is supposed to go. 

 

Funny, most of the time I glue the tip of the TRD to 

the mushroom head, but several times I wanted to 

change out the color (didn't have multiple Ned setups

those times) and regretted the gluing. 

 

But the glue does work, you're spot on there.

I have several brands/types of super glue.

 

Normally Gorilla gel SG when I'm on the boat.

Also have Zap-A-Gap CA+, though at the rate

my sons look for glue, take mine off my desk and

don't return it, the Gorilla seems to get the most

use for TRD-to-jig head as it is misplaced less, LOL.

I have used the loctite Gel CA very easy to work with and it generally goes where you want it to. I do let them dry overnight, not sure what the minimum time is for drying.

Thanks guys, appreciated.

The only downside of the Ned that I have is it catches too many fish to put down.  I spend all this money on all these other lures and baits and they all stay on the deck or in the boxes because they just don't produce like the Ned can.

I use a gel glue as well, anything less thick gets all over my fingers.
