Great Lakes Finesse (GLF) is upping the ante on this technique with a different profile of bait that is ideal for the Ned rig technique.
The GLF team quickly figured out the proper profile, which is craw-like and ribbed and has slender appendages that provide just the right amount of movement. However, they spent nearly two years refining every detail and getting critical confirmation from the fish that the Ned Bug was perfect.
A vital feature that grew out of the testing stage is a slit in the head, which allows the bait to bend back, exposing much more of the hook for solid hooksets and a high fish landing percentage, even with a small No. 1 or 1/O hook.
The Ned Bug’s design and the neutral buoyancy cause it to stand at a natural 45-degree angle instead of sticking straight up. A matte finish and ribs that break up the color enhance the natural appearance. The ribs also hold any added scent, which can be important with slow presentations. The tail design fits snugly to a jig but hides the head.
Although designed primarily to be paired with the new GLF Ned Head, the Ned Bug also fits well on the Stealth Ball Jig Head and Stealth Football Jig makes an outstanding compact trailer for a finesse jig.
The GLF 2.3-inch Ned Bug is available in 10 colors: Green Pumpkin, Green Pumpkin Red, Green Pumpkin Purple, Frosted Shad, Matte Black, Black Blue, Green Pumpkin Orange, Green Pumpkin Watermelon, Motor Oil and Brown Pumpkin Special.
MSRP: $6.99
