The Ned rig is a highly effective finesse technique for perch, zander and black bass. Its compact soft plastic stands or glides close to the bottom, creating a subtle presentation that continues to produce bites when predators are pressured or feeding cautiously.
Why fish with Ned rig lures?
Ned rig baits work with small movements, pauses and controlled bottom contact. Their understated action suits clear water, cold conditions and difficult days. Browse more species-specific options among our perch lures and zander lures.
How to rig a Ned bait
Thread the lure straight onto a light mushroom-style jig head so it remains balanced. Fish it with short hops, gentle drags and pauses. Where weed or snags are present, an offset hook can create a more weedless presentation.
