Even though many anglers fishing the rig are scoring gargantuan numbers of bass and experiencing 50- to 100-fish days with it as a finesse option, the Ned rig is my solution for big smallmouths when theyre fixated on leech patternstypically from mid-June through August

My only complaint about this stick is that it doesn't have guides with titanium frames, but that's only because I'm a component snob

When wind or other factors cause the water to be disturbed, I reach for the Cotton Cordell Pencil Popper, which creates so much wake and disturbance no bass can deny it

In winter you may be better off targeting the cousin of the bass the freshwater perch
