I’ll attach some other videos here for you guys to look at to get a visual of what I do with the bait and where I use it. Some of these are tournaments and some are fun fishing.
It shines where there’s no structure! It’s a bait for do nothing banks. Watch the part where I have the chestie on. I go into deep detail about no structure is best. That’s a lot of the frustration most people have with it. It’s a snaggy bait. The best way to avoid that is to use it where there’s no snags as well!
I wouldn’t say always. When I’m fun fishing and just want bites….. always!!! But tournaments it’s a very few select scenarios that lend themselves to a good Ned rig bite. The spawn, deep clear water, the fall. And smallmouth and spotted bass bite to be more specific
I would not use it around a lot of wood. During the post spawn. Muddy water. That’s probably about it. In all other scenarios it’s almost always a possibility that it’ll work!
