Noah delves into the essential components of his rod, reel, and line setup for a successful Ned Rig approach. His preferred setup involves a 10lb braided line combined with a 10lb fluorocarbon leader, perfect for navigating around grass and zebra muscles. Gain valuable insights into the significance of different weight sizes for Ned heads, crucial for optimizing the fall rate of the bait based on varying conditions like water depth, current, and wind.
