The Red Ned is a seemingly underwhelming looking fly, but boy do Redfish eat it. It only uses one material, but can be a bit tricky to try and tie.
I first heard of the ned rig amongst bass fisherman as a finesse technique when the fish don't want to chase around a big bait. This technique translates to fly fishing extremely well. Redfish are constantly digging through sand, grass, and mud looking for small shrimp, worms, crabs, and whatever else lives in those environments. We've all seen shrimp and crab flies, but worm flies are not very common for redfish for some reason. This pattern especially shines in the cooler months when the redfish are feeding on the smaller morsels that are available that time of year.
