Y'all can make these yourself. Use cheap stickbaits (they sink slower). Gary Yamamoto sells the skirts. You use a lighter to heat up the cut down stick and just melt it to the skirt. Very easy. These are different then the ones I make but should work http://www.overstockbait.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=GYG-11-10&utm_campaign=Ebay_Comm_Network&utm_medium=shopping&utm_source=ebaycomm&387

It worked well in dirty water the other day. They sink slow with a 1/16 jighead and you can "feel" the baits resistance and keep in coontact with it.

Lost mine first day I had it to a 30# grass carp. Attach the buoy and use the lanyard around your wrist LOL

Good post. ty

Jtrout, fish those Hudds painfully sloooow. Nice feesh Nolan!

Anyone run the skirt like I do to extend the bait and get better flare?

I like this color

I use the Bears 5" stick mold four cavity and get eight NED baits from a shot. I dont use any sink additive. I just got a Basstackle spyder skirt mold and added it to the front. Slows the fall and looks pretty cool I think. I also use 1/16 weedless jigheads with a #1 hook that work great.

Make your own skirts. Easy and fun to do in the winter.

Color doesn't matter

It's OK we never agree

Be prepared to lose alot of rigs.

TY all. I will try the proper NED rig.

Dropshot with weedless hook. Use a 3/8-1/2 weight. With vertical presentation you can "feel" your way through brush and the heavy weight when jiggled can pull the hooh free. BTW you can get generic blade baits for about a dollar each on ebay. You need to add your own hooks and hardware.

Thanks for the insight on the origin and the tips. Here is what I use. These are 1/16 with a #1 hook. I inject my own plastics so use the 5" stickbait mold with plain soft plastic and no sinking additive. We do really well with it and it skips great under docks. I call it a NED rig but that is not correct terminology I guess. My buddy calls it the "Turd" rig, so maybe that's what it will be called LOL I dont understand why the mushroom head is so important or different.

I know what a NED rig is but lets see how others feel about this. The original "True" NED rig is a light (1/16 or so) mushroom head light wire hook with a Zman TRD. What if the bait is changed to lets say, a 2.5-3" tail portion of a stick bait. Or a regular ball head jig is used. Or both. Is it still considered a NED rig? I know it's not branded or trademarked but would this be similar to calling a generic soft stickbait a Senko?

Get a Pointer and be done with it.

I like that

Not technically a NED rig but has anyone ever tried usung 3" of the back of a Zoom Fish Stick on a NED type jighead? I would think it would work well.

I use these #1. Strong, sharp and fish dont seem to get off as easy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/121981646918?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
