With all these new NED baits, which ones actually catch fish? There are so many new worms, creatures, and craws its hard to keep up! Today we’re taking 9 of the most unique NED RIG baits underwater to see how they compare. Let’s look at their actions and profiles so you can decide which ned rig worms you should be using on your next bass fishing trip!
Ned Rig baits were the talk of ICAST this year. Every company introduced a Ned Worm, some introduced entire lines of Ned products. So how do you know which are actually worth your time? These 9 offerings looked the best “on the shelf” to us. We always like to show the bass something different and each of these offerings had a unique feature. After gathering underwater footage of how they moved, we definitely found some favorites.
Which are your favorites? Do you like that traditional Ned profile with minimal action? Do you like a lot of movement? Do the craw and creature profiles seem like a solid option for your bass? There is so much information to be gained with just a few minutes spent underwater. Below you’ll find links to all the baits (in order of appearance) as well as color recommendations, rod and reel recommendations, and more.

Floating craws all day baby!
I definitely think that the appearance is crucial to get the attention of a bass, but I'm wondering if adding something to make a rattling sound during the motion of the Ned Rig baits will also help. For example, live crawdads because of their hard exoskeleton surfaces must make a sound when they move around the bottom of the terrain that contain rocks and pebbles. Whenever I see a group of crawdads in my bucket you can definitely hear their movements.
I've been contemplating on this idea for sometime now. Too complicated or unnecessary???
White TRD wigglers works great for ice fishing lake trout!!!
Love the Zman products
Very nice video that's all what need
Ned rig overrated just something new to spend your hard earned money on
These darn things catch way more fisherman as the timeless saying goes..they make mean candy now…I get suckered all the time
O-Zone for the win !
Too much tall
How do I find fishing gear swap meets seminars or Trade Expos
Thanks for this video. Turns out, I’ve been doing it wrong. My pauses have been way to long. I’m gonna correct this and hopefully catch more bass. Thanks again
The Yum Ned Craw certainly stood out by it's color.
what about Zman ned craw???
What knot works best for this rig?… My knot kept slipping during casts towards the front of the eye (12-3 o'clock)… I'm thinking that we want the knot in the 9-12 o'clock position on the eye instead of the traditional 12-3 o'clock position… please let me know….
Hula stick; trd tickler. Forgot one. Nikko baits! Can’t share which one. Smallie killer
You guys are the most professional video makers on YouTube
I like the z man ticklers and the craw gonna get those for smallies thanks for the underwater footage good stuff
all actions lousy…………..sucks………….rubbish…….CMI…………la ji……….lannnnnnnnnn
Forgot my NED box last summer. In a desperation attempt I cut a Berkeley power worm off at the collar. Put it on the jighead back wards through the collar and tore em up.
Nice! Always cool to see the underwater action of baits.
What's difference between Jighead and Ned Rig?
275000 views and 5000 likes is a travesty
Come on fisher people on YouTube
Support the efforts eh 👍✅
Be so helpful to see good/bad of different weights
About to go to sisters pool to explore
Have y’all thought of syncing the person doing different techniques in the corner ?
Be helpful to see drag, bounce, hop, swim,, light in place ticking them
Thx, love these

The yum Ned dinger has some of the best action. The zoom beatdown worm is awesome too. It’s like half a seinko
I've been using the TRD Bugz this summer and it has just been straight fire for me in the river.
Your missing one that’s better then any of those the ned Salamander by savage gear!!!
