Rig along the bottom. On rare occasions, I’ve found success trying to work the bait quickly with little bottom contact. But in those cases, I probably would have been better served throwing a moving bait like a chatterbait to target the more aggressive fish. Regardless of how you want to fish the bait, as with other finesse tactics, patience and a light drag are key.As you drag your Ned rig along the bottom, slowly hopping it around cover and structure, the bites you get typically won’t feel all that powerful. Sometimes, all you’ll feel is an incredibly subtle ‘tick’ and your line will start to move as the bass swims off with your rig. Paying attention to your line when fishing this finesse technique is critical to ensure you’re not missing any bites. Another great way to make you feel every bite is to match the gear you’re using to this lightweight and subtle technique. Finesse techniques require finesse gear to maximize each bite opportunity.Choosing a Ned Rig SetupWhen selecting the right rod for your Ned rig you’re in luck because most of the best spinning rods will do the trick. If you have a favorite spinning rod for fishing light Texas rigs or weightless worms, then you probably don’t need to go shopping.

Z-Man If you’re looking for a Ned rig specific rod that’s more affordable, the Z-Man Drew’s Ultimate Ned Rig Spinning Rod is a newer offering that’s seen a lot of success in the kayak bass fishing world. These rods are offered in shorter lengths than I prefer, but they make the perfect rod for fishing a Ned rig from your kayak.Spinning Reel Shimano Similarly to
