- Probably my favorite way to catch walleyes! They’ll eat a Ned Rig all season long 💯 but here’s a few keys to my program for spring walleye fishing on shallow sand, before the weeds grow up....
Drop a comment below and let me know what you think. 👊 Thx SO much for watching!

Wait… NED rigs work for walleye?? ;). Ya buddy!!!
Nothing better!
All I use..with a live worm!!!
Yiu dont know until you try right
Everything will eat a NED I found
Tried Ned rigs for the first time last weekend. It absolutely crushes fish
Jackpot! 🔥
Happy you are better. You're fun to watch as well as informative.
I am guide on lake of the woods and I use Ned rigs all the time.Awesome baits.I bring some minnows to for my customers so they can feel confident but I always have a Ned rig because they catch everything LoL
Love it!
I love the Ned Rig and the Moon Eye Jigs. Best two jigs I have used. I also Ned Ring grubs and Power worms.
No doubt! And it's always fun playing with different profiles on the back end...sometimes people get so stuck on fishing the one thing everyone else is, when there may be something that's even "catchier" that day. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the info 👍 I've switched to the big trd and we are catching walleye now Thanks 🐟👍😊
so glad you're doing better. and happy to see you out
Really appreciate it, Ryan!
Nice job fella. I was asking about the bed rig. Had this video sent to me, awesome job. And, glad your doing better and out fishing 👍
Between Clayton Shick and your videos i purchased ned rigs. I fish Pepin mostly. 2nd cast into pod and i landed 1st fish. It has became a great tool in my non bait arsenal. Thank you.
Man, I love to hear that! 👊 And thank YOU for the feedback.
Tonight only caught 1 with it. Chasing minnow bite. Jigging rap and swim baits.
Wishing you good health. Glad your back out there.
Thx so much, Brandon! 👊
Missed you. Glad to hear you’re on the mend. Looking forward to a bunch of your TH-cam content this open water fishing season
Thank you, David!
You're the best merci !
Thx for watching!
Glad you’re ok! Great video 👍
Thx man!
Picked up some Ned Rigs a few weeks back... My goal is to learn it enough to be confident in fishing it.
Hope your healing well from your accident.
Just need that one confidence-boosting day and it's game on! It's always fun catching the bonus largemouth and smallmouth bass while chucking it too haha. Thanks much, man!
My buddy showed me them one day we were fishing and he had 9 in the boat and I had none in the boat.I took my minnow off put a Ned rig on and started catching fish almost every cast.There incredible 😆
BRETT IS BACK!! Awesome video brother, I’m excited for more!
❤❤❤👊
Come and play
Good video, informative 👍
Thank you, Ron! Glad you liked it.
Am thanks for all info with Ned rig. I’m from Manitoba canada and went into a durby this weekend, they would not eat leeches or worms picked up a few Ned jigs and cought 6 eyes right away. And won first and second in walleye. Thanks man
LOVE to hear it! Way to go, dude!!
Great video man! Honestly never tried a ned rig for eyes, definitely going to try it now though!
Thx fellas! It's soooo fun. Worst-case scenario you catch a bunch of bass while looking for walleyes haha.
Nice video! On another note bassin for walleye. Anyone ever throw plastics on a lindy rig for walleye? Only ever hear of live bait, but just got done watching Jacob wheelers Carolina rig(same thing as a lindy rig, right?) video and got me thinking. Always trying to convert the 2 species of rigs into one another.
Been trying to throw hints at zman to make an elaztec leech for awhile now. Lol
Thx Nicholas! I've had some GREAT luck running different Gulp! baits on rigs and spinners. Started doing it when the tiny bluegill were super thick and kept robbing my leeches and crawlers...couldn't keep the bait fishing long enough to get a walleye to bite. Started playing with some of the Gulp! goodies and they definitely catch walleyes.
Thanks!
You didn't have to do that, but I appreciate it Bill!
Thank you
B you don’t know me, but family prayed for you. Glad you are healing up and getting back out.
Man, I really appreciate it Aaron!!! 🙌 Hope you have a great + safe weekend!!!
Great instructional video on Ned Rig Walleye fishing using the VMC Jig heads and the 4" TRD . A also the use of electronics really made a big difference in demonstrating the mood and position of the fish in relation to the bottom and also relation to the boat. I learned a lot watching this video, & found it to be very enjoyable too. Glad your back out there fishing 🎣 Brett!!!
Thank YOU Bill! 👊
Glad to see you doing better, Brett. I've been watching last year's videos all spring long lol. Keep the content coming!
Chris
Really appreciate it, Chris! More vids coming ASAP.
I bet they would love the Acme Hyper Hammer T.T
Super interesting about the fish feeding up and down based on the shiner behavior. Gull was tough last weekend for that tourney
No doubt! That was super frustrating seeing 'em but not getting them to eat. Hope you and Tad had a blast tho 👊 and thx for watching!
@@TargetWalleye Love the channel man!
@@89shmike thx man!!! Pumped to hear that.
Awesome content as always Brett! Now I want to see your spinner bait walleye how to video :p
Lol thank you! And that might just be a fun one hahaha.
@@TargetWalleye yes, I remember our FB chat on that after your Devils video hahaha!
I'm heading up to Canada with my boys in mid-June. I'm going to toss some Ned's and see if this works as well as you have shown. Thanks for recommendation.
Absolutely! You'll catch a bunch of smallies on it too. Hope you have an awesome trip with the fellas and thanks much for watching!
I'm gonna have to try these I mainly fish devil's lake ND think the walleye would like them
Absolutely! Everything scarfs 'em up and they're super easy to fish. 👊 Hope you lean into a few!
@@TargetWalleye oh yeah fishing has been awesome this spring on devil's lake it's always is in the spring but even more nuts this one with the high water we got
@@timothythompson1784 no doubt! I wanted to sneak over there this spring soooo badly with the high-water year, but just not going to be able to make it happen right now. Hopefully at some point this season I can head that way! Such a magical system.
How do you prefer to tie these on to your line? Do you use a straight connect or a loop knot and is there much difference between the two?
4:54 holy moly look at that selection
I'm an addict...but I could have worse addictions than fishing schtuff hahaha. 👊
@@TargetWalleye I can totally relate man lol, that is one glorious box of quality jig heads
Great video! What mega live pole mount are you running?
Appreciate it! And it's the FIN GEAR Live Scan Pole Mount:

Great vid.....I'm jelli
Glad you liked it, Alan! 👊
Basically someone put a senko on a jig head and surprise surprise it worked,,, yes, springtime is awesome in shallow weedy lakes, they slam almost anything, cheers.
Ole Uncle Ned is my new Fav! Which plastic do you prefer? Ive been using the zman and likin it so far.
Heck yeah! There's a handful I cycle thru, but my favorite all around is the Z-Man Big TRD.
Where do you find 4 inch ned rigs?
Those are the Z-Man Big TRD.
I’m a big back troller for walleyes. Do you think a Ned rig would work for this method?
Hey Tim! They reeeeally shine for casting. That being said, there's no reason you couldn't bump up to a slightly heavier head, get the bait way out away from the boat, and fish it like you would back trolling with a jig + minnow nice and slow. Ned Rigs were actually originally designed to be fished suspended in the water column. Some days the fish want them up above their heads, and others they want to tight to bottom. Gotta play with it day to day to see what kind of mood they are in. Good luck!
They work awesome for that as well.
I’m guessing that the Ned rig excels in clear water and falls off dramatically in stained and dirty water
Definitely since it's a visual thing. Stained or dirty water you want something that moves a little more water or has rattles. But that's the cool thing about the Ned Rig, is you can put whatever you want on the back of it if you need a profile that moves a little more water, or I'll even shove a rattle into the plastic.... 🤫
Pepin is really stained water. Works great. Fish know how to eat.
Link your shades or other favs for on the lake!
Hey! These are Costa Rincons with the shiny black frame and gray 580G lenses. Great XL frames that even fit my big ol' melon hahaha. Thx for watching!
@@TargetWalleye hahaha thats my same problem, finding a good pair that fit my big head/face😂 also enjoyed your rainy river video, wish i watched it before fishing a walleye tournament on it
@@jaxonc117 lol I hear ya! The Costa Reeftons are another great fit for my head/face if you want more of a warp-around frame with more coverage. The Rincon has that more casual look for everyday schtuff, little less coverage but still great. Mako Coverts are another more casual, west-coasty look set of shades that fit my big melon well. Oh, and walleyes never seem to want to bite on game day hahaha!
What net are you using?
Hey John - That's a Bubba Blade Carbon Fiber Net (I believe the medium size). GREAT net for pitching jigs and whatnot, and for scooping fish solo. If you run a lot of treble-hook baits or crankbaits, they like to get stuck and tangeld in the net. And would definitely want something with a longer handle for reaching out behind the boat when trolling. But overall I really like it for casting, it's super light and looks sharp.
Would it also double as a Northern Pike net?
whats next torpedoes to zap them walleyes
