Best ways to fish it (demo)
Swim Jig Trailer
Shallow grass, slow roll
Texas Rig
Pitching to cover
Ball Jig Head
Dragging sand or rock
Split Shot
Natural subtle glides
Best for
Smallmouth, largemouth, and walleye around rock, hard edges, and bottom-oriented forage.
Style
Bottom-hugging profile that scoots, darts, and coasts on slack line like a real nuisance fish.
Where it shines
Riprap, boulder transitions, gravel points, bridge corners, and current breaks.
Goby rule: don’t “swim” it like a minnow. Make it look like it’s trying to hide—short scoots, quick stops, and long sits.
Top 3 ways we fish it
Rock, current, and bottom bites.
Ned-Style “Stroll”
The easy button for rock flats and riprap.
- Rig on a small mushroom head and keep the bait straight.
- Drag a foot, then kill it—let it stand and “breathe.”
- When you feel pecks, pause longer instead of setting the hook fast.
Drop Shot Hover
Pin it just off bottom in current seams and on clean gravel.
- Thread it so the fins stay free and the body stays level.
- Shake slack lightly to make it quiver without lifting the weight.
- Work edges: rock-to-sand, gravel-to-mud, and the front side of breaks.
Bottom-Hop Jig
For aggressive fish on deeper rock or steep shorelines.
- Rig on a light ball head and hop it with short, crisp pops.
- Give it slack after each hop so it glides back down naturally.
- Mix in a long deadstick when you hit a boulder, corner, or sweet spot.
