I’ve been fishing a Ned rig a lot as of late and became curious of you all thoughts on the similarities between fishing a Ned rig and a jig on the bottom. Still fairly new to fishing artificial and have only one bite on a jig with a tube trailer. Many more bass have been caught on a Ned rig and has started to become my biggest finesse confidence bait.
Had about 45 minutes to fish under a spillway in Okc on the Oklahoma river. Rigged up a Keithtech 3inch minnow on a Ned rig. I pinched off the first two inches of the minnow and caught my first river bass. Straight retrieve. It was on the ultralight rod 4lb test super fun fight.
I worked this stretch of the bank for about and hour had three fish on the line landed two.
In regards to hook sets are there different hook sets for different lures/techniques?
I saw a video of Bobby Barracks in the app say that he likes to reel a load into the rod and sweep it to set the hook on a chatterbait. I’ve been using this method. But I’m curious if there are different philosophies on hook sets and what you all believe is the most effective?
Went back to the pond from yesterday caught 5 in under a hour. Buzzbait, chatterbait along the grass line parallel to the bank. Water was about 4 foot deep and grass was 1-2 ft below surface. Landed all the bites I had which felt like redemption from yesterday.
