What surprise catches have you got with the ned rig?

[BassinFLNY]

Well.... I’ve caught it all with the ned rig, 7lb largemouth, snook, and I just got my first pike and a 25 lb carp on the ned rig! I am absolutely amazed with this thing!

Here’s the carp!

What have you guys caught with it?

Catfish, drum, & striper we’re all surprising to me. I’ve honestly caught about every game fish we have in East TN except a walleye on it.

Since a Ned rig imitates a small baitfish or craw, which almost every predatory fish eats, no catch should really be a surprise on it. I've caught everything from tiny little green sunfish and smallmouth bass so little they couldn't even get the hook in their mouth but their teeth stuck to the bait and they lacked the mass to drop off the bait when I lifted them from the water, up to flathead catfish over 20 pounds. I've caught all variations of catfish, drum, all 3 species of bass available nearby, white bass and wipers, all kinds of sunfish and crappie, walleye, trout, the only big surprise catch for me was a yellow perch, but that's only because we have so few of them around here.

Caught a nice one of those on a deep diving crankbait in the Potomac river.

This is a headscratcher for me. I've been throwing them a bunch lately, grabbed some zman heads in 1/5 and 1/10. Been experimenting with cut up scrap senkos... skinny end vs fat end, shim-e-stick vs Yamamoto, different colors, different places, different conditions. Not a single bite yet! Forcing myself to stay with it.

Use the Zman T.R.D, and use the right color, they are buoyant and are out of this world better than the other brand stuff for ned rigs
