Four-Seven Lures 2.7 Inch WiggleLite Ned Soft Plastic Bait
How, where, and why it excels
Carolina Rig (micro • 1/8–3/16 oz • 12–24" leader)
When & where: Sparse rock/gravel, points and flats when you want to cover water with a subtle profile.
How: Slow pull‑pause; let the buoyant tail rise between drags.
Drop Shot (nose‑ or mid‑hooked • 1/8–3/8 oz)
When & where: Vert/FFS targets and deeper edges.
How: Dead‑stick with micro shakes; ribs hold bubbles and the tail quivers on slack.
Ned / Midwest Finesse (1/16–1/5 oz)
When & where: Clear to stained water, rock/gravel, pressured fish.
How: Drag‑drag‑pause; occasional tiny shakes—bites often on the dead‑stick as the tail hovers.
Standard (Ball) Jig Head / Shaky (1/16–3/16 oz)
When & where: Banks, transitions, and current seams.
How: Crawl and creep so the ribs tick rock; two shakes after deflections.
Texas Rig (micro • 1/16–1/8 oz • pegged)
When & where: Docks/laydowns/edges where open hooks hang.
How: Short pitches, semi‑slack fall, shake in place.
Trim & Mods (quick hits)
- Nose trim: Remove 1/8–1/4" for a tighter Ned profile in ultra‑clear water.
- Glue dot: A tiny gel‑glue at keepers extends life on small heads.
- Scent: Helpful for long dead‑sticks in cold water.
Dial it in (color classes)
- Naturals: Green Pumpkin / Watermelon for clear water and rock/gravel.
- Dark / Silhouette: Black Sapphire, Junebug for stain, night, storm fronts.
- Hi‑Viz: Chartreuse, Bubblegum for dingy rivers and tracking your bait.
- Smokes: Smoke/roadsnack with flake for sunny, high‑vis lakes.

On‑the‑Water Notes

- Docks: Micro‑Texas; shake to flare the ribs without moving forward.
Q&A
Q: What separates WiggleLite Ned from standard Ned worms?
A: The buoyant blend and ribbed body keep it upright and breathing on the pause—critical for pressured smallmouth and spotted bass.
Q: What heads and hooks work best?
A: Light‑wire Ned/ball heads with #1–1/0; for Texas use a 1/0 EWG or finesse straight‑shank.
