Ned Rig Fishing For Big Bass

Finesse fishing doesn't always equal big bass but the Ned Rig is special. When the bite gets tough and you're faced with changing conditions it is a great way to upsize your catch! On this day we started with swimbaits and crankbaits but ended up getting all the big ones on light tackle. 

The ned rig is a great option when conditions aren't ideal. We were using two different versions of the bait to catch our fish. Tim was using the Roboworm offering while Matt was using the traditional Z-Man TRD.

46 lb Striper Eats a Swimbait!!

Watch this GIANT bass DESTROY Shawn's S-Waver 200 Swimbait! He's fast-cranking the bait in heavy current when the giant inhales it. Ever wondered what it looks and feels like to catch a true MONSTER Bass? You're about to experience it first hand!

These giant striped bass eat a tremendous amount of food to maintain their size. A large swimbait is an easy snack to these predators and the perfect lure to fool them. These fish don't reach these sizes by making mistakes but its hard for them to pass on a big swimbait. 

Shawn is a fishing guide that specializes in these monster bass. If you're interested in fishing with him in pursuit of a giant, you can contact him by email. He's currently booking trips for the fall bite. His email is buttebassin@gmail.com
