Great video. Have a request for you guys. Would it be possible for the next underwater video you guys make, to do split screen footage of the lure underwater and of you working the rod up top? That way we could see what retrieval movements cause the different movements of the lure underwater. Thanks for everything you guys do. Very much appreciate you both for all your time and hard work.
FANTASTIC underwater coverage on the Ned Rig options. Thank You Guys for demonstrating the lures. It surely helps us fisherman in how to retrieve the baits.
Matt, you and I go way back on the Ned Rig, so you know I have to comment! Loved the video. Cool to see these new profiles underwater. Really blown away by all the new designs coming out. I would add the 3" Zman Slim SwimZ in green pumpkin. Seen it mentioned a few times already. That tail is soooo good, even going as light as 1/15. Keep the Ned content coming!
Love the underwater footage. Great to see how neds handle underwater in a more detailed way. Another great video, going to try some of these new brands to expand the ned rig arsenal from zman and robo.
Love these types of videos. Being able to see how the baits look underwater and riggings. Looking to add rage bug to small jigs as well. XZone I’ve heard good things and looked really good as well as the Reins. Missile Bomb looks great
Hi Matt, so glad you did this video. I actually purchased the X zone bait a few months back. I also noticed Dudley was using something very similar if not this bait and killing them. LOL however, definitely going to invest in ticklers and a few others to add to my net rig collection.haha
At 5:10, if the fish are aggressive, I'm probably not fishing a ned rig. I consider it more of a finicky fish kind of setup, but I appreciate the contrast you provided for the different styles!
IV been on the trd crawz molting craw color it works every time and it has the black beady eyes that stick off the body that I think gives it it's best look
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???
Awesome video, been hoping for this one for a while. Already caught a couple on the trd bugz on Clear Lake. The Ned bomb will likely be my next purchase. Cheers guys.
Awesome video as usual. Really cool to see new fads come of old stand-by's of years past. Bunch of old corroded half moon jigs with small worms on them in gramps old tackle box but never heard the word ned. Ned bomb looks a lot like an erie darter which is all but forgotten outside of the great lakes region.
Thanks for this Ned video! I gave up on the Zman brand, I just cannot seem to keep that elaztech away from my other plastics, what a mess that elaztech is! Love the colors, hate the mess. Even tried having a separate box for Zman, those little TRD still found their way back into the main box. I started cutting Yum Dingers to 3", and while they don't float, the bass have been hitting them just fine. Looking to try the Strike King Ned Ocho.
I ran into the same situation when I first started using zman product. I now just put my used lures back into the same bag they came out of with no issues. Theres a little oil in the bag so when you put them back just message it around so it gets some oil on it.
Matt and Tim, I love your videos and the knowledge you share. You guys are great teachers. Do guys do any salt water fishing? If you do, you should do a salt water video.
Thanks for the informative video. Seeing these baits is the best way for me to decide if I want to invest in them. I've recently began cutting the tail of the big TRD from the tip downward to create some long appendages. Gives more action to the standard bait.
Z-Man really knows what they are doing. I currently only have a couple of their baits, but they work so well. So I am planning on getting more of their products. The Ned Craw seems like a no brainer for smallmouth.
First time I tried a Ned rig, I used a yum craw (didn't have any TRD worms on me!)... and I got hit by a crappie on the first cast. Unfortunately I got snagged on a rock on the second cast and ended up bending over the hook point when I shook it free!
I've been wanting to practice with ned rigs. This was a very great video. Especially since I already have some of these. Can't wait to try them out somewhere.
You must add the the Zman micro jig! It’s been incredible with a hula stick. This tickler might even be better! Thank you for putting in the time. Great video!
I think I like the Z Tickler profile, since I've had good luck with tube baits in the past. I'm curious about the NEW Googan Rattling NED, if the rattle is a desirable trait when fishing a NED??? Thanks in advance & thank you for the excellent reviews & tips.
@@hbeefk11379 I haven't had any luck with em yet... Can't say that I've tried much, but I do own a few packs. I've always been told "don't fix what's not broke", and I tell ya what.... those Z-MAN TRD plastics are insanely good! So I really can't say that I've really needed to try the Rat Neds yet lol.
@@Tokes_Outdoors I've caught some nice smallies and larries on em. Agreed 100% though. TRDs live up to their name. And they last a million years. Jig heads fail on me well before the worm. Elaztech is the best soft plastic.
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
I have thrown almost all of these ned baits and one more I would consider a ned rig bait is the new Baby Bug by Strike King. It gives it that original kick/action like the structure bug unlike the ned bug. I throw it on a 1/5oz 1/0 ned rig and it slays the bass. Definitely one to put in your arsenal over the ned bug in my opinion. Give it a look Matt.
I use the Missile Baits Ned Bombs as well as the Robo Ned models but, they are not durable at all compared to Zman.... I think I will stick with the Zman just for the stretch and durability bite after bite. Love the BugZ and Rage Ned Bug footage... gonna try them on a finesse jig for sure. Great footage as usual.... thanks for sharing.
Hey Matt and Tim, do you envision the original TRD simple design ever becoming obsolete as new Ned bait designs incorporate more enticing bait action on the fall and at rest? I'd have to think the Ticklerz design or the beaver tail/craw profile baits you reviewed will trigger more reaction strikes without having action that's too aggressive.
Dam wish I had sandy bottom lakes to fish so I can work baits like this without getting caught up on everything
Use smaller weights. I fish ga lakes filled with muck and grass and weeds and all types of stuff. I use 1/4 or smaller weight in naster bottoms.
@@chasingthefish9042 thanks
Texas rig em
You can try a drop shot too. Pretty similar in my opinion
Did it work? @@captainggttv3243
It's like a fashion runway show for ned baits.
Lol
Strut girl!

Ned is an awesome bass producer, slow presentation and perfect for the kayak.
Thank you for having such quality, jam-packed content, and not taking 45 minutes to do it! I love your channel.
FANTASTIC underwater coverage on the Ned Rig options.
Thank You Guys for demonstrating the lures. It surely helps us fisherman in how to retrieve the baits.
Awesome video as always guys tight lines have a blessed day from Arkansas

Outstanding Video, you have a great perspective on these different ned Rigs options. Thanks
"sigh" opens up tackle warehouse chart for the 5th time this month...
😂😂😂 That's pretty funny right there!
Lol it's only the second day
Dbars19 Tackle warehouse can just have my paycheck. Lol
The pacing of this underwater video was much better than those on the past! Great info guys!
Thanks for the feedback Garrett!
Can not say it enough how incredible you guys are and how much we all enjoy your videos. Thank you for all you do.
Best bass focused videos around. Encyclopedia of Bass knowledge each video.
Thank you Robert!
As usual another great video from the best bass fishermen on the internet. Thanks Matt and Tim.
The Ned Cut R looked like I had hoped. I like it and same with the Ticklerz. Looked how I hoped it would under water. Glad I have both!!
Very nice video. Great underwater action
Love these types of videos. Being able to see how the baits look underwater and riggings. Looking to add rage bug to small jigs as well. XZone I’ve heard good things and looked really good as well as the Reins. Missile Bomb looks great
The ticklers are such fish catchers
Holy moly. One of the best movie ever. Everybody can see und understand. Very good presentation under water. Greetings from Switzerland. Stefan
You guys are the "underwater" champs. So cool.
Nice! Always cool to see the underwater action of baits.
I like the z man ticklers and the craw gonna get those for smallies thanks for the underwater footage good stuff
Really enjoyed watching. I fish a lot of heavily pressured lakes. These options always catch em for me! Thanks!
That yum crawfish looks awesome!
I run the small black and orange craws with z man ned hooks.
Mavgaming 1 , I picked up a pack of the dark brown/dark red ones but have not had a chance to try them yet. Have you had alot of luck with them?
Just picked up a new st croix tournament legend today! And I have ned rigs that need tossin!!!! Tight-lines🎣
I absolutely CRUSHED the smallies on St.Clair with the tickler in the deal color
that twinkle at 3:47 has me sold
You guys are the most professional video makers on TH-cam
Thanks you guys. Just another great vlog
Underwater footage is way cool. Thanks.
Thanks for watching.
Great video guys. Love the underwater footage
Alot of them looked good,fun to play around with the different ones,great bait anywhere u go
Thanks for taking the time to comment, Scott!
Awesome video, I ordered the new X zone NED last week and they look like the perfect size.
Hi Matt, so glad you did this video. I actually purchased the X zone bait a few months back. I also noticed Dudley was using something very similar if not this bait and killing them. LOL however, definitely going to invest in ticklers and a few others to add to my net rig collection.haha
I love the underwater footage brother. Your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you.

The yum Ned dinger has some of the best action. The zoom beatdown worm is awesome too. It’s like half a seinko
The Ticklerz in California Craw and Smelt have netted me three consecutive PB smallies and largemouth. Damn I love that bait!
Love these underwater videos!!!
Great video, y'all are the real u tube videographers. SK Ned cut worm is almost the menace minus half a tail. I've been using it for a while.
some good lookin new ned rig offerings!! love the underwater vids!!
Thanks!
IV been on the trd crawz molting craw color it works every time and it has the black beady eyes that stick off the body that I think gives it it's best look
Those trd crawZ are insane
A yum swimmin dinger cut down looks awsome on a ned rig
Definitely had some stand out baits for me Matt-Tim. Thanks a ton.

Xzone tubes and Zoom beatdown worm on Ned rigs 🎣
Awesome vid Matt, love the underwater vids, very informative!!
Good information like always!!
Good video liked how you could see the action of the bait
Great video. I’m a believer in the z man. They hold up and last longer than other plastics IMO.
Nice video, thanks for posting!
Awesome video, been hoping for this one for a while. Already caught a couple on the trd bugz on Clear Lake. The Ned bomb will likely be my next purchase. Cheers guys.
I just got strike king ned rigs today can't wait to try it out 👍

I really liked the looks of the Zman bugz and the Ticklerz. I was also impressed with the missile Ned bomb. I liked the action and the color of it.
Great video, I love using the NED Rig style of fishing, just ordered the strike King and zman bugz after watching this video, much appreciated
Love the underwater footage
you guys do great work I really enjoy your videos
I am going to try a Ned rig for the first time our next tournament thank you for this video it is going to help me a lot
TicklerZ worked great for me this summer. Got some in a Monsterbass box at the beginning of summer. I will definitely be getting more of them.
Thanks for this Ned video! I gave up on the Zman brand, I just cannot seem to keep that elaztech away from my other plastics, what a mess that elaztech is! Love the colors, hate the mess.

Keep them in the bag they come in and no problem. I use a KVD tackle bag for the bags. Doing bait reviews for bass and crappie. FLC
I ran into the same situation when I first started using zman product.
I now just put my used lures back into the same bag they came out of with no issues. Theres a little oil in the bag so when you put them back just message it around so it gets some oil on it.
I am getting hyped for all these NED style baits that will work great on some finesse jigs.
Great video, the underwater footage really helps make a good decision on what to use, thanks
Matt and Tim, I love your videos and the knowledge you share. You guys are great teachers. Do guys do any salt water fishing? If you do, you should do a salt water video.
We do some saltwater and have been toying with the idea of dragging you guys along for a trip or two :-) Its so much fun!
Thanks for the tips and the lesson Mat love your videos very educational 💥💪🏻👊🏻
How the hell is there any thumbs down lol. Nothing but great information, appreciate you guys
Almost all my fish from July to Jan have come on the TRD Bugz...Love me some green pumpkin ned rig.
Very nice video that's all what need
Learned a lot about jigging swim baits, thanks
I got into the zmans t icklerz this summer up here in Maine. The hot snakes color can't be resisted by smallmouth.

Would've loved to see the one by 10,000 fish. Sekoshi bug or whatever. Great video!
was hoping to see this as well
You guys rule the bass community.
I used the tickler at Bass Lake and slayed the spots. I love them
Ned rig is straight fire on our waters on the west coast!!!!
Be so helpful to see good/bad of different weights
About to go to sisters pool to explore
Thanks for the video! I'm excited, for I ordered some of the new strike king ned and zman. Looking for the that edge in club championship on Saturday.
You must add the the Zman micro jig! It’s been incredible with a hula stick. This tickler might even be better! Thank you for putting in the time. Great video!
The TRD Bugz action looks ridiculously good thanks for the video going to order some now

Im also interested in the googan rattle Ned baits. May just order a pack on ebay right now
@@joenegrete8925 if you have an Academy or Dick's they have them.
So glad nothing Googan was included in this vid! Thanks for always staying original! 😁
🤟🎣🤟
I HATE googan, but I was in the market for glass rattles. Not gonna lie, for the glass rattles inside the worm, its worth it.
@@hbeefk11379 Are you talking about the "Rattlin Ned"?
@@Tokes_Outdoors yup. Glass rattles are crazy expensive. It's like getting 2 products in one. That's the only googan bait I'll ever buy.
@@hbeefk11379 I haven't had any luck with em yet... Can't say that I've tried much, but I do own a few packs.

X zone sells well in Sweden also my favorite plastic. The true centerstick stickbait is exelent.

Hey..... that was awesome!!! Just in time to stock up for the winter bite. I learned about dragon fly nymphs today because of you. 👍🏼👊🏼
The Yum Ned Craw certainly stood out by it's color.
The Strike King baits look great! Will be getting them
Ya might wanna look at the Zman Drew's craw & black & blue......great on a drop shot too
Great video.
That cool 😎 👌 👍 😄
Fav words in fishing..hey I’m Matt Allen welcome to tactical bassin, let’s go underwater!!!
Baby bass was star of the video!
