Deep Water Ned Rigging

Take a stubby little soft stickbait; rig it on a "mushroom-style", lightwire jighead; work it around bank structures and cover and what do you get? 

One of the most intriguing, fish catching bait rigs around, the Ned rig!

During my time using the Ned rig, I've primarily used it rigged on a fairly light (1/15 to 1/10 oz) Ned head in water depths less than 10 feet where where bottom cover (vegetation and brush) is sparse to patchy.

It is highly effective especially when fishing conditions are tough.

I never gave the Ned rig much thought when probing deeper depths (>15-20 ft) for smallmouths.

After seeing this video from B-Lat and the folks at Z-Man Fishing that will change this coming season!

Take a moment and watch as B-Lat overviews the system he developed for chasing deep water smallies and spots with a Ned rig!
