Fishing tips for the Ned Dinger

Ned Rig Setup:

The Yum Ned Dinger is designed for finesse techniques, especially the popular ned rig. Pair it with a mushroom-style jig head that matches the size of the bait. A light jig head, usually between 1/16 to 1/8 ounces, works well with this setup.

Slow and Subtle:

The key to fishing the Ned Dinger is a slow and subtle presentation. Cast out your rig and allow it to sink to the bottom. Then, use slow hops and drags, barely lifting the rod tip to create a gentle, natural movement. The Yum Ned Dinger’s straight body design produces a subtle action that mimics a dying or struggling baitfish.

Bottom Contact:

Maintain contact with the bottom throughout your retrieve. The Ned Dinger is meant to imitate prey foraging on the bottom, so keeping it in close proximity to the substrate is crucial. You might even feel slight taps or weight changes when a bass takes the bait.

Minimal Movement:

Avoid overly aggressive movements. Bass often respond positively to the minimalistic and non-threatening action of the Ned Dinger. It’s about triggering their curiosity rather than provoking a reaction.

Natural Colors:

Choose natural, subtle colors for the Ned Dinger, such as green pumpkin, brown, or watermelon. These colors imitate the appearance of various prey species and work well in a variety of water conditions.

Hollow Tail Advantage:

Utilize the hollow tail feature to your advantage. You can insert a rattle or add scent to the hollow tail, enhancing the bait’s appeal and potentially enticing more bites.

Fish Transition Zones:

Transition zones between shallow and deep water, as well as areas with subtle structure changes, are ideal places to fish the Ned Dinger. Bass often linger in these spots to ambush prey.

Light-Feeding Bass:

The Ned Dinger’s finesse approach is perfect for situations where bass are less active or exhibiting light-feeding behavior. When they’re not willing to chase fast-moving baits, the slow and enticing presentation of the Ned Dinger can trigger strikes.

Downsized Presentation:

When fishing in heavily pressured waters, the smaller profile of the Ned Dinger can be advantageous. It offers a different look that might appeal to bass that have seen larger lures frequently.

Experiment with Depth:

Don’t hesitate to fish the Ned Dinger at different depths in the water column. While it’s primarily a bottom-oriented presentation, you can also lift it off the bottom slightly to mimic a baitfish rising from the substrate.
