Hello, I'm primarily a power fisherman, but just ordered a medium light spinning outfit for throwing a ned rig. Has anyone had any luck on Rayburn or Toledo fishing a Ned Rig? I'm concerned it won't be as effective as it is elsewhere due to the amount of grass in the lake. Anyone's personal experiences fishing a Ned Rig in east Texas is welcomed!

1st I will say I have never fished with one, so take this for what its worth.
I think you will get frustrated quick trying to fish that bait in the grass. Your hook will be constantly fouled with grass on it. If you do hook a decent fish good luck getting it out of the grass with a medium light rod. I am sure you can go out on a clay point and catch all the spots you want with at and maybe catch some good ones too. It certainly wouldn't be my choice though.

I have had some decent success throwing this in deeper grass on a lake around me lately. I have been tx rigging it on the jighead as opposed to having the hook exposed. You do hang grass from time/time but overall it has worked pretty good.

I've had success fishing the Ned rig in East Texas grassy lakes, particularly at the grass edges where the lake narrows/pinches in--ex: bridge areas. You have to have a lot of patience waiting for it to get to the bottom. If you are a power fisherman, you can try a similar technique with any 1/4oz--3/8oz skirtless ball head jig and a medium rod. If around grass, use one with a small weed guard. They do make Ned rigs with a two pronged thin metal weed guard--they are OK. I don't know Rayburn or Toledo, but looking at maps, I'd like these areas for a ned rig at the grass edge.

They do not work well in grass. It will just end up being super frustrating
