When targeting sight-feeding smallmouth bass on sandy flats, it's essential to have the right equipment. Dudley discusses the importance of using a jig head that allows the bait to fall straight to the bottom vertically but not too fast. Dudley details his go-to jig weights depending on the depth he's fishing.
Next, he discusses the importance of selecting the correct hook size based on the chosen plastics, specifically his go-to 1/0 and 2/0 sizes, and when to use each. The line also plays a role in achieving the optimal fall rate, with Dudley preferring a fluorocarbon leader between 6-10 pound test. He uses a lighter leader in deeper water and shifts to a progressively larger line diameter in shallow water.
Rigging is essential. Dudley presents a step-by-step guide to correctly rigging your Ned bait, ensuring a straight fall every time. Doing so increases your chances of triggering bass on the fall and during the retrieve.
Consider tying on a Ned rig whenever you encounter clear water, finicky bass, or struggle to get bit. Chances are the Ned rig will get it done.

How can you not learn from David Dudley when it comes to Ned rigs and wacky rigs. Love his baits,especially the bubble tails🎣😎
Ned Rig has been the most productive bait for me this summer. 👍
Those new Ned baits look great, I can't wait to get some. 👍🎣 🇺🇸
Excellent presentation David. I used to catch bass regularly with my deadly Nedly. Then catchs stopped and I sought another presentation with no better success. After viewing your video, I’m going to use it again. Thank you.
There good I have made a few outa buttons and just added liquid steel. Another is ABSplastic with micro spears brilliant that stuff sink rate is unreal good for skipping lures under thick cover at 25m mark.
That worm looks good. I’ve done the best cutting down baits not designed for a Ned .
I like that bait but my concern is that the bluegil will bite that tail off
Would you scent your Ned bait?

A lot of anglers do prefer scented plastics with some of these slower presentations that allow fish more time to nose and inspect the bait.
What rod and reel Combo is that ?

Thanks for watching. The full product details can be found in the video description. Thanks
I know he looks different but isn’t this the guy that said Ned rigs will kill all the fish?
He caught that first one and fought it like he was a tank. I bet 90% of these pros couldn’t catch nothing without electronics
