The Ned Rig Explained + Winter Bass Fishing (Yes, I Caught One!)

Winter bass fishing doesn’t have to be complicated. In this video, I break down what a Ned rig is, why it works so well in cold water, and when and where to fish the Ned rig during the winter to catch bass when the bite is tough.

Most of this video focuses on explaining the Ned rig—from the simple setup to the best situations to use it for winter bass fishing. I talk about how bass behave in cold water, why finesse presentations shine in winter, and how the Ned rig can trigger bites when other baits fail. To prove it works, I do manage to catch a bass on the Ned rig during this trip.

If you’re fishing ponds, lakes, or reservoirs in the winter and struggling to get bites, the Ned rig is one of the most reliable bass fishing techniques you can use. This video is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to understand cold water bass fishing better.
