I’m fishing a pond with 2 inches of visibility. Probably 90% of my bass were on the Ned rig. The rest were 3inch paddle tail, Texas rig, jig and square bill in order of success. I’ve never had a bite on spinnerbaits and had only 1 strike on a chatterbait. I thought Ned rig should be consistent year round but the bite has slowed down the past few days. Maybe 10 hours on the water with not even a bite. What else can I use to not get skunked?

With poor visibility you need noise or vibration so the fish can find the bait.

Agree with OJ. You can tie the ned rig to the end of a Carolina rig for that extra noise or insert a tiny bead capsule in the lure itself.
