Overview
Having a background as a fishing guide, master fly tier, and smallmouth aficionado provided a lifetime of experiences that warranted Brian Schmidt’s efforts to manufacture a state-of-the-art Ned head. A desire to have a smaller, light, subtler skirted jig is what fueled the creation of the Brian Schmidt Baits Ned Jig.
This Ned Jig features a hand-tied silicone skirt that is affixed directly to the shank of the hook, which adds a natural movement and flow to your finesse presentation. The mushroom shaped head is powder coated with Boss Jig Armor for a durable chip-resistant finish, and its shape allows your jig to navigate through many types of structure with outstanding efficiency.
Constructed with a chemically sharpened 1/0 Daiichi Black Nickel Hook, a wire bait keeper is also incorporated, lies parallel with the bottom of the hook shank, and keeps your soft plastics affixed firmly to the jig head. Many anglers have been captivated by simplicity and uniqueness of the Ned rig, and the Brian Schmidt Ned Jig enhances your Ned rigs’ allure with added features that aren’t being used by your competition.
