The Rage Ned Bug Combines Action And Finesse
Ned Rigging has taken the bass world by storm and has become a go-to presentation for anglers fishing tough conditions or pressured waters.
Normally a Ned Rig excels when it gets tough because it has a small profile and a subtle action. The Strike King Rage Ned Bug combines finesse and action.
“Not only will this shine as a Ned Rig bait but when the bite gets tough using it as a drop shot bait will be off the hook,” says Mark Zona, host of Zona’s Awesome Fishing Show. “Largemouth and smallmouth alike will knock each other out going for this morsel”
The all-new Rage Ned Bug comes in 15 colors. Suggested retail is $6.99 for a nine-pack.

South Carolina pro Brandon Cobb, a two-time Elite Series champion during his inaugural season on the Bassmaster Elite Series, said being able to keep a frog active but in place is critical when big bass are wary.
