A Ned Rig is a finesse fishing technique that uses a small jig head and soft plastic bait. It is designed to imitate small baitfish and can be fished slowly along the bottom. The technique is especially effective for catching finicky bass in clear water or when the fishing is tough. To fish a Ned Rig, cast it out and let it sink to the bottom. Then, use a slow and steady retrieve, bouncing the bait along the bottom and pausing occasionally to let it rest. The subtle action of the bait is often enough to trigger a strike.
