Texas Bass Fishing: Ned Rig for Pressured Fall Bass

Tackle Tuesday goes small after a full-moon weekend of pressure on Lake Fork. This is the true Ned rig — a 2.75-inch finesse stick bait in green pumpkin on a 1/16 oz mushroom head with a size 1 light-wire hook, threaded dead straight so it stands tail-up and never spins. Fork sat at 398.01 ft on Oct 26 (TWDB, about 5 ft below full pool), water 78–80°F and coming out of turnover, with guides reporting bass shallow 2–5 ft early then 6–13 ft and shaky heads working around stumps in 3–7 ft. Includes the dead-stick five-count, the drag-and-kill retrieve, the sideways sweep hookset on light line, and why a crooked bait is a refused bait.

Daily Scripture — Zechariah 4:10: “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.”
