EGbassing Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 I used to use a spinning rod for my ned rigs but I want to try them again so I'm trying to use one on my SLX reel tomorrow. Does anybody else fish these on a casting reel?

Super User jbsoonerfan Posted May 25, 2019 Super User Posted May 25, 2019 I have my spool tension knob set super loose and mostly roll cast with it.
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted May 25, 2019 Super User Posted May 25, 2019 Yes, they skip very easily with bc reels too. I use 10 pound braid and mostly 1/20oz jighead. 1

What type 1/20oz jig head? I wanted to try swimZ and TRD on 1/20oz but I only got ball jig head in 1gram and 1.5 grams.

Super User dodgeguy Posted May 25, 2019 Super User Posted May 25, 2019 10 pound Sufix Advance on a lews tournament pro on a 7 foot medium Johnny Morris Patriot rod. 1/5. Oz trd zman jighead. 1
Super User Jig Man Posted May 25, 2019 Super User Posted May 25, 2019 I have 1 bc setup for Ned rig fishing. It is a Shimano Curado 70 loaded with 6 # fluorocarbon line mounted on a Gloomis Bronzeback 6'9" ml rod. I make my own heads and use 3/32 oz and heavier heads on it. 1
Super User NYWayfarer Posted May 25, 2019 Super User Posted May 25, 2019 10# Berkley Big Game on a Lew’s Mach 1 reel, 6’, 10” med/hvy Mach 1 rod, 1/8 oz. Berkley half head jig. Works great. 1
Super User DogBone_384 Posted May 25, 2019 Super User Posted May 25, 2019 I use a Pixy 68 on a Kistler ML/F and it nearly spools out every time. 1

Does the scorpion have cent. brakes? I was getting 25yd.~ casts today with a 1/16th head. Caught a solid 3.5er after not catching anything in weeks so that was good too. The ned really does work that well I guess. 2 hours ago, frogflogger said: It can be done easy enough but Why?

It was as sensitive as any flourocarbon I've used, I think. 8# test held up for pulling a good sized one out of cover so it's strong enough for me. 4 hours ago, dodgeguy said: 10 pound Sufix Advance on a leash tournament pro on a 7 foot medium Johnny Morris Patriot rod. 1/5.

zell_pop1 Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Well the one spinning rod combo I had I accidentally kicked into lake Geist a few weeks ago (and busted my Costa Jose 580Gs trying to grab it) so I guess I'm going to try Ned rigs/shakey heads on casting equipment. I have a Pflueger Asaro and a 6'4" Team All Star rod I use for river small mouths as it casts light lures pretty good time to try it on finesse. 1

Just not very durable though if leave the TRD on the hook rusts quickly I also just received the new Trokar finesse ned head 1/15 and 1/10 size https://www.cabelas.com/product/Trokar-Pro-V-Finesse-Tungsten-Jighead/2941573.uts?slotId=1 and the new Eagle claw to try out. https://www.cabelas.com/product/Eagle-Claw-Lazer-Sharp-Pro-V-Finesse-Jighead/2941562.uts?slotId=3 Duel purpose the 1/10 size will be for 2.8 Fat Keitech paddletails

Because it's the better tool for some techniques, just like spinning gear is the better one for other techniques like Ned rigs ? 2

Heartland Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 54 minutes ago, DogBone_384 said: 20 pound Power Pro Slick. The stock spool in a PX68 will hold about 110 yards of 20lb power pro 8 Slick. If you're casting on a full spool and emptying it, that is around 300 -330ft. Extremely looooooooooong casts.

If you're casting on a full spool and emptying it, that is around 300 -330ft. Extremely looooooooooong casts. I'm sure not casting 300'. The spool on my Pixy is very shallow. I doubt there's 100 yds of line on it. Regardless, I nearly spool it when I cast.
frogflogger Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 A while back (50's and 60's) we were using Bronson and Shakespeare free spool tournament reels filled with 9# braided tournament silk - we fished 1/8oz lures with these reels and t3 sila flex rods. But when decent mono came out we went to spinning for the light stuff.
Super User GreenPig Posted May 26, 2019 Super User Posted May 26, 2019 I've used my Curado 70 with 10 lb FC when my buddy started catching them on the Ned and I had failed to bring a spinning rig.
freelancer27 Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 I try to use casting gear whenever I can. In your case I would either go with my NRX852c and the Steez CT SV TW, 7 pound fluro. This combo is amazing. Super versatile (I can basically throw anything from 1/16 to 3/8 oz. If I need to get super low I use my BFS set up around a Major Craft BFS rod (rated 1/32 to 1/8oz) and a Shimano Aldebaran BFS with 4 pound test. Usually I use the later combo only for trout.
