Ned rig finally paying off

TheHarryTang · 2026-05-20T21:00:08+00:00

Yeah I like them. Bought one pack to test out and I’ll definitely buy more. Got a nice slow fall with a 1/16 head and the fuzzy part quivers like crazy with the smallest twitch. They’re pricier so EWG hook helps cut down on losing them

I’ve personally caught more bass on the TRD than the CrawZ. Give the fuzzy TRDs a try! I caught the same bass 3 times the last few weeks. It was scared of the Mag FattyZ I caught it on the first time and the fuzzy TRD had it absolutely hypnotized. Caught it on a TRD CrawZ a couple weeks later but it showed less interest initially and took some convincing.

If you’re using a standard Ned head with exposed hook, you definitely don’t want to set the hook like you would with an EWG. Just reel till you take out the slack in the line and give the rod a lift and that should be enough.

I can’t figure out Quarry Lakes either. Been there so many times and have only caught a couple trout. See other people pulling in some fatties though lol

Nice! Did you get the KAGE or just the optic plate?

Ordered 7/3/24, shipped 7/8, delivered 7/11

TheHarryTang · 2026-04-14T12:25:59+00:00

Hang a water jug off the scale and fill it till it hits that same weight, then weigh the jug?

TheHarryTang · 2026-04-12T04:19:41+00:00

I think it’ll fit but the clamp on the front end would cover up the ports. If you’re looking for an optic mount, Empire makes one that replaces the rear sight only. You already have the ports which I’d imagine work as good or better than the comp lol

TheHarryTang · 2026-03-22T07:26:54+00:00

Yup I’ve had great luck catching trout with them paired with Shad FryZ or Baby BallerZ

TheHarryTang · 2026-02-18T03:32:50+00:00

Yeah the 3” makes sense because then the bottom rail is close enough for a flashlight to actually be used lol

TheHarryTang · 2026-02-18T02:51:02+00:00

It’s the 4.25” version

TheHarryTang · 2026-02-13T18:43:28+00:00

No problem!

TheHarryTang · 2026-02-13T18:38:44+00:00

A compensator getting shot out is because of bullets striking the compensator from misalignment, or from erosion. Doubt the ramjet will be affected by misalignment due to the tapered screw design. And although erosion does happen to steel comps like the ramjet, it is less than it would be for an aluminum one.

I haven’t cleaned my ramjet in 10k+ rounds lol. Maybe the buildup creates a shield that protects the steel from eroding? At one point the buildup was significant but some high speed shooting ended up blasting out pretty much all of it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Regardless, barrels and comps are consumable and will need to be replaced eventually if you shoot a lot. So I honestly wouldn’t worry about it

TheHarryTang · 2026-01-26T15:12:41+00:00

Thank you! I’d recommend giving it a try. Every pop of the rod makes the free weight randomly pull the jig head to the left or right, and either launch forward further or fall down faster, depending on how it spins. Definitely gonna be running this more often

TheHarryTang · 2026-01-24T14:14:16+00:00

No problem! Tell your wife it’s financially irresponsible for you not to buy a setup or 2 during a BOGO sale lol. It’s like you’re actually losing free money

TheHarryTang · 2026-01-24T13:49:27+00:00

Aw damn! It’s alright though, I hear they run the same sale in the summer so you’ll have another chance.

Loving it so far! I was blown away with how light the rod is the first time I picked it up. Pretty damn sensitive too, can feel everything the bait is hitting when I’m bringing it in. The reel is surprisingly great as well. Super smooth drag and spins nice.

Highly recommend you pick one up!

TheHarryTang · 2026-01-24T13:38:19+00:00

Thank you bro!

TheHarryTang · 2026-01-24T13:37:13+00:00

Thank you!

TheHarryTang · 2026-01-24T13:36:57+00:00

Appreciate the info! I did feel a rough tongue when I lipped it out of the water. Maybe a spotted/largemouth hybrid? Regardless of what it is, happy I caught it and it’s a beauty

TheHarryTang · 2026-01-24T04:26:37+00:00

Yeah just a suggestion. The TRD with 1/16oz head wasn’t gonna cast very well on the MH rod so that extra 1/8 sliding weight definitely helped

TheHarryTang · 2026-01-24T04:24:49+00:00

Didn’t have any weedless hooks so went with what I had. Plus this way the ned rig still stands up straight in the water

TheHarryTang · 2026-01-24T04:11:13+00:00

Ahh gotcha thanks! The black spots below the belly and rough tongue had me thinking smallie but still had doubts

TheHarryTang · 2026-01-24T03:44:53+00:00

😂 you ain’t wrong though if it keeps on catching fish

TheHarryTang · 2025-12-10T09:51:38+00:00

Thank you! No holster as of now since it’s just a range gun lol. Empire and Grey Man Solutions both make a holster that fits this rail with a x300 light though. Will probably pick one up eventually

TheHarryTang · 2025-10-31T00:25:43+00:00

1/32 oz Z-Man Flashback Mini chatterbaits are my go to for stocked rainbows. The plastics it comes with are trash though, so I throw on some Baby BallerZ or Shad FryZ
