Lures are made to attract fisherman more than the fish. This is proof lol.

This would amaze me, if I hadn't seen someone catch a bass using a leaf or a block of wood.

This completely destroys the idea of all the fancy craw style Ned baits.

The science experiment explained at the beginning of the video is from “knowing bass” by Keith Jones.

Resembles a Hellgramite which Bass eat a lot.

I have fished this by accident, using my last favorite color on a finesse jig, lost one claw, so pulled the other one off and my hookups increased considerably. Good info. Thanks.

I remember back in the mid 70’s using a plastic bait called a Sting Ray grub that had no built-in action but caught fish like crazy. It was just a 3” grub body with a flat, spear shaped tail fished on a ball jig head and favorite colors were smoke and watermelon. I think they were made by the Mann’s Bait Company. Just seems to me all new lures today are some type of copy of lures from back in the past with a few modifications.

Trying to get me to mess up my rage claws so you can catch more fish than me. I see you

I read an article that said fish have memory and the only lure that consistently catches fish was a worm style lure because it appeared non-threatening. You can throw a lure one day, come back the next and the fish won't even look at it. But you can throw a TRD or worm day after day and catch fish with no problem.

My theory is that the Ned Rig TRD imitates the dragonfly nymph. Crawls slowly on the bottom and same cylindrical shape and size.

I was skeptical at first, 🤨 but after watching I can see this is some good information. Thanks for the tip. 👍

I never heard of this lure. I'm thankful for you guys taught me alot of things I need to know to fish effectively

I remember reading about this study about 8-10 years ago. It used to be on the Berkeley website somewhere but I couldn’t find it last time I looked. Fast forward to the Ned rig…i remember thinking they finally figured out how to sell it 😂

Thanks for the great information from the article/experiment you dissected. You gave some awesome tips that I needed to know and to try this summer when I Ned rig. Great job with explaining everything. Make some more I'm a subscriber.

Tyler, I really do appreciate your uniquely particular, scientifically rational approach to bass angling-count me in as a definite fan….tight lines!! 🎣

I bought some Ned rig's at Walmart. Green Pumpkin color. Took the small soft plastic off. Then put a Green Pumpkin 5 inch Senko on it. The Largemouth were attacking Bluegill's on the nest. Bumped it along threw the Bluegill nest's. Just as I bumped it a couple of feet outside the nest the bass were hitting the ned rig hard. Flying out of the water to trying to throw the soft bait. I would hit the line even harder. That little hook needs to be hit hard when the bass bites. To get it into the bass's mouth. They loved the Senko on the ned rig. I think I just reinvented the ned rig. The 5 inch Senko bounces along the bottom. Standing up so the bass can see it better. The Ned rig on steroids. Check it out. It work's fishermen. Shawn.

I was fishing a Ned the other day. Caught a couple bass, then some huge crappies. Had a good fish fry!

Ned Kehde, "The father of the ned rig", prefers a "no feel presentation". If you can feel the bottom during your retrieve, you should lighten your jig. 1/16 seemed to be the weight he used most often, but used 1/32 and 3/32 a lot too. Another fun fact is Mr. and Mrs. Kehde logged the catch and release of 49,324 bass from 2005 to 2020.

I love that s-man came out with the Pro/magnum Ned heads. Great for pulling through cover

Last year, I heard about the Ned. I reasearched and bought some parts. I was in a spot catching a few bass. I tried the Ned rig and caught a 3 pound spot.

Great stuff. You Got another subscriber, I like the info keep it up.

This is a great video. If you are lucky enough to own a copy of "Knowing Bass" (which I do), this study is described in depth. What makes this lure innovative is that it follows the science, rather than trying to design a lure to catch the angler. Glad you shared this info.

very helpful and well done. Thanks

Totally agree with just a hunk of plastic as an effective bait or jig trailer. I’ve been using hunks of plastic such as broken remnants of plastic worms, using just the head section for years. Senkos for example, if you wacky rig a lot, break and crack, so I’ve used these broken pieces and have been way before the Ned rig became popular as jig trailers. Awesome results!! Great information!

Thk u so much for ur videos. Its so hard to find someone who is consise in the videos plus has a playlist that's very noobie friendly

Liked your floating worm video. One tip is to use panfish jigheads and wacky rig a senko or any worm, when weightless is too slow in summer

I love dragging bottom and gettin bit. The tug is my drug 😎💪

Spot on the topic. I felt the same way early on. They DO catch a bunch of "Nicer" fish. The BIG Smallies can't resist. Saugeye as well. New sub. Bub.

Tip #1 really going to help me out 👌

Ned Rig For Life!😎. I was out Sunday and several boats past this one small stretch of shoreline with no fish... I went through with the TRD BUGz and in 4 cast caught a 3 Younder!

Great info!! Enjoyed the video!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!

I pre-rig and glue two baits in every new bag of TRDs I buy. It makes color changes SO much faster and simpler.

Cool stuff! Yah I use a 7'6" ML when doing real light lines, but you're right you really gotta change your typical twitches

neg rig is the bomb, tho i dont agree so much with pulling the barb, your right it does get kinked a bit but a good alternative is to switch to something with the lead ridged keeper like a nedlocks hook

Great information.

Tip no 3: I like to dull up my shiny worms taking a knife and scraping them. When sight fishing I could see the bass hesitate on shiny worms but when using a dull one they grab it without hesitation.

Always great videos.

You've really been bring the juice with these videos. I hope your channel grows huge just not seen by my competitors. Lol

Deps came out with something called the "Cover Scat" and if you want to really test your theory here it's made to exactly resemble a craw that's lost it's pinchers but it's larger- much larger than a ned bait. It works great- I've caught many bass on it- lots of ppl have- but like all other baits and techniques it only works under the proper conditions at the right times. There will never be a bait that always works everywhere. I've seen days where all they would hit is a fully intact craw like a rage craw or something- and others where they wanted the cover scat- I guess somedays they feel like fighting for dinner and others they don't.

You should come up to the north west, not only is the Columbia River a top ten bass fishery, but we have a few lakes that can rival any Midwest, or southern lake. It's our best kept secret

I’ve heard of the glue thing before, my only thing is the fish near me seem picky with color so I change colors a lot

Makes sense, you don't usually try and eat something when it has its defensive large claws raised as if to attack and/or fend you off. The fish are looking for weakness. A crayfish that's lost its claws is helpless and a prime target.

I've fished the ned rig a handful of times and they do catch a lot of fish. Not the biggest but definitely a good bass catcher.

Thanks.

*Awesome tip Tyler.*

Good research I have the In Fisherman that has that article somewhere....I have a bunch lol

Very good video and information. Please work on the echo of your garage, I think me mentioned before.

I think it looks like a eel or baby snake😀I buy Ned rig and use Ned rig.Still I don't catch very many fish.Same as the "Dancing Eel"still enjoying your information😁

Thanks for the info

“They” said the same thing about the Senko.... u can catch em good just about everywhere with those 2 alone

Guess I'm just gettin old but my experience is that small lures catch small Bass. All my biggest came from 8" & up plastic worms. Big topwater lures too.

Great video!!

Ive read that article. I used to put it in my instagram story all the time and no one paid attention

Great video and a new sub here. I was wondering if purefishing puts out a website or channel where this kind of information is available to us. If you could share where you found it that would be great as I love the science behind fishing.

I catch bass on trout lures 😆 good ones to last yr i got a handfull of 2plus and a few 5lbs and one 6.5lb LM. Not even trying to catch them either

Good tips.

Great video, I have always believed this, I've seen bass turn away from defensive crayfish so it only makes sense that itll catch less. I've also found from experimenting that I catch more fish on a trd worm than a trd craw which I believe is because some bass just dont want to get pinched again and are deterred by a defensive crayfish.

When fishing gets real tough for me, I start throwing a 4 inch Mann's Jelly Worm on a 1/16 or 1/8 ounce open hook jig head using spinning tackle and 6 lb. test mono.

Always get the most bites on senko worms here in south Florida

I fish heavily pressured waters, and have been catching alot, by fishing painfully slow! Lol...I was just typing "painfully slow" and that was your exact description. 🤣 It works though. Some of these places I fish, guys swear there are no bass, because they see lures everyday. I have caught a 5 1/2 and a 6 pounder in that pond where folks swear there's no bass...lol. Painfully slow works! Many times, I leave my bait sit for 30-50 seconds before even twitching it the first time. I think it pisses them off to have something that won't get out of the way, in front of them.

Very interesting. Where can i find the original article or better the video from pure fishing? I read about this experiment years ago on bassmaster but i would love to see it

Would be interesting to know whether the different styles were presented to the bass in a different sequence with the same results (in other words, did the bass exposed to the "Ned" plastic first preferentially bite that plastic over the others?)...

I use Ned rigs for walleyes. And have pretty good success

Hello from the England!! Damn!! I am amazed!! Somehow I was never after a bass never had such amount of rods:)) just after pike salmon or perch ;)) but I am amazed with the knowledge You are sharing and skill You have!! By the way- any chances shop gonna post the cap to England?? Would love to have one or two. Thank You. All the best and some adrenaline rush!! :))

Oh,... and tube baits. Killers

You should try the VMC Ned heads they have an awesome keeper

Which is true Black, Coopertreuce, with painted 1/8th or 1/4th lead black with red or black with yellow works very well in Alabama on Pickwick river...

The bass looks over and thinks "an unarmed snack!"

That helps explain the effectiveness of super simple Euro mymph flies. Less is more.

Makes sense. Bass more often strike craws in defense of their territory and nests so they’d want to scoop up em whole and spit em out. And you get better penetration when the whole body and thus the hook is in their mouth. Sounds like the NEKO he’ll granite is the go to bait speaking scientifically

How about using an O-ring, in front of the hook keeper on the bottom of the hook? Then there is no need to clip it off. O-rings can be purchased with Different Diameters.

This is I belive is similar to a mayfly larvae. There is a article from way back when.

Great tips💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

can you do a video on the berkley slobberknocker

That was very informative, gained yourself a follower. I mostly fish a strip pitt in Kansas. Bite has been slow recently so looking for these types of videos. Thanks!

I now use a shakey head weight on my Bed riggs and I have doubled the amount of fish I catch. Use the same size hook and weight size and you'll be amazed.

It might seem stupid but it works great...my go too lure and always will be

I was on a highland reservoir today. I caught a lil fella and could not keep the grass off my red eye shad. The school moved on and a first timer next to me got a toad on a zman trd. I think the big ones let the more aggressive lil fellas go for the reaction style baits while they're schooled up.

This is the first I heard of a ned rig so do you just cut a worm or is their a size to by I want to try this this year. Is there a diameter of worm that works the best or color?

Now would a Texas rigged craw perform better if you cut or ripped the pinchers to look damaged or broken?

That’s why the Yamatanuki is so good

So should we be tipping our jigs with TRDs instead of craw baits?

When would you switch to the big TRD’s?

I like the info on your videos but you need to show visual more you were talking about a weight show the weight and how you hook it up

0:01 haven’t even watched yet and I already know what your gonna say … take the pinchers off ya craws…learned this the hard way fishing on lake Holbrook in East Texas … used to swap my lures out when the lost a pincher because it would spin sometimes on the retrieve … was running out of that color and wanted to save a bag for the tourney… caught a ton of fish with the one pincher …. When it lost both pinchers to blue gills I was about to take it off but just kept flipping it any way caught 3 in a row all 4-5+ … “I was cheap and broke in college back then “ I had $450 to pay my cabin rent and I didn’t even have the money for my cap and Gown ($300) . 🤦🏿‍♂️so decided to skip My College Graduation @ Jarvis Christian College put $20 worth of gas in my Boat 👨🏿‍🎓 and fish the Saturday tournament… Got the Win 🏆 paid my rent . And picked up my Mathematics Degree 📜 on Monday . My family really didn’t care since my niece was Graduating from TCU the same day .

They catch Walleye too.

I don't know why, patience maybe, but I can't throw the Ned rig. I bass fish 3-5 days a week and I've made less than 25 casts with a Ned rid. I know I'm leaving fish out there by not throwing it but I'm just not a finesse fisherman at all. I am however gonna start throwing my own version of one. Well it's not my idea but I've seen it work and I can still use heavier line and a heavy rod. But, I'm gonna start cutting down a senko a little bit and taking the skirt off a 3/8th ounce jig and throw it that way

This explains why senkos are king in soft plastics

This is a real crawfish in the bottom between small rocks. The most simple is the most effectif. Its a lot of years i fish with ika withowt hairs and insert stopped in the bottom.

Niiiiice informative and comprehensive video backed up by science!!!👍😃. Gooood presentation with the added footage. Never fished the Ned rig, gonna give a shot when all else fails. SUSCRIBED🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

Looks just like a dragon fly larva. Moves like one too. Max meal vs min. Risk. Catch a few to eat, clean them and look in the stomach. 4" and under soft fin fish #1, #2 dragon fly larva. The catch is " feeding" bass. Most of the time we're looking for a reaction.

It's because crawl fish swim with there pinchers tucked. If the bass strikes while the crawl is swimming it goes down Smoothly. If a bass attacks is while a crawl has it pinchers out it can pinch the fishes mouth on way in or go down wrong.

Hate to say it but there are times the deadly Nedly works better than anything else here on Tablerock. I always set my visiting family members up with one so they will have plenty of action.

I think they hit the ned rig more because it's smaller and to them it's an easier meal and smaller fish can hit it better.. I LOVE the Peanut butter and jelly mini stick O or sink O I forget which one it's called but they have them at bass pro.. I've caught more fish on that exact bait and a rooster tail during summer time than anything.. and you would be extremely surprised how big of a fish you can catch on those tiny little baits too lol

Do you think this would work with saltwater bass? Maybe even rock fish?

Subbed

Pretty much all my brother uses is the ned rig.i just cant do it.it catches the numbers but it really doesn't catch the size

beautiful bait

I just fish Senkos until they are worn out. Then I cut them in half and fish them as Ned Rigs.

Up date from so.cal. i have been using do...nothing lures since 1978.
