Underwater pics
I spent a couple of hours at lake McIntosh this morning, fishing and trying out different things .
One was , I was using my 5’6” St. Croix Triumph ULF , paired with a Daiwa Fuego LT 1000d spooled with 2# P-line Cxxx moss green polymer line .
I’ve used this before I went to Floroclear . The line is super thin , but it’s not as strong as the Floroclear 2# . Also it tends to kink .
I’ll be going back to the Floroclear.
Next I tried using a small ball bearing swivel above my micro spinner in place of a tiny barrel swivel .
This worked pretty good , adding a few more feet of casting to the micro spinner. I don’t think the slight increase in swivel size is going to bother the fish .
The other thing I tried was a piece of the tail section of a plastic worm I found , where someone had tossed it on the dock when heading home .
I’d given thought to doing this but , hadn’t gotten around to it yet.
Putting it a 1/32 ball jig , made a micro Ned rig .
On about my fourth cast , I caught a nice UL bass to end up the morning.
Before the bass , I’d only caught a small gill on the micro spinner , and a couple of Warmouth and a small gill on Trout Magnets .
I also spent some time messing with my iPhone taking pics using a filter I ordered vs using my sunglasses as a filter .

Good job. I like the second pic with filter the best. Which filter is which?

Interesting. Nice catches
The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass alonggillchaser999 LIKED above post
Nice pics, and the bass is just the right size to be a good fight. That’s kinda what I think those bodies from mule tackle act like is a tiny Ned rig, standing up off the bottom. Opened my eyes. Need to try it with bigger gear for bigger fish.

Well call me stupid. But I just recently after all these years learned the term "Ned rig". But I don't get the need for any special name. It looks to me like a simple jig head with a plastic body strung on it. It is the way I have always fished a jig with plastic body. I have been fishing jigs with a plastic body set up like that forever in all sizes. Why the name?
Pretty fish….good deal on testing the filters. Going to put a polar filter on GoPro and try to get video of trout in the clear waters of the Little Red.

It’s been around for a very long time….I think since the 50’s maybe. Here is a little about it from LureNet.

The Ned rig is a finesse fishing technique that involves using small plastic worms, craws, or creatures paired with a light mushroom style head so it can easily float off the bottom. This rig was originally created by outdoor writer Ned Kehde and popularized in the Midwest – so the name Ned rig stuck because of him!
