FLW Tour Pro Josh Douglas came to Outkast Tackle and wanted to design a Ned Head that would actually work correctly and provide a standing base under all conditions. Traditional Ned Heads have too much lead down the shank of the hook and are flat sided. That equals a your bait laying on its side more often than not. The Perfect Ned Head Jighead has round sides with a perfectly centered flat spot allowing it to stand keeping your bait off the bottom.

The NED rig fishing is all about finesse. This is its equipped with NED hooks with a light carbon steel wire to maximize hook penetration with light line but made it strong enough that when you hook a monster, she stays pegged and the hook does not rip out of her mouth. The teardrop design and 60 degree eye allows for more gliding action on the fall with light tension. The hook point wire is offset up from the centerline to increase the exposed hook gap and maximize the hook-up ratio.
