Z-MAN NedlockZ EWG 1/10oz Black 4pk
The Z-Man NedlockZ EWG jighead brings refined design to finesse bass fishing. This 1/10oz Ned Rig head pairs a recessed-eye mushroom design with a compact VMC extra wide gap hook—a combination built to slip through dense cover without snagging, then drive that hook home when a bass commits. The molded keeper holds soft plastics in place during the cast and fight, so your bait stays rigged where you put it. Fish shallow grass, submerged timber, rocky shallows, or anywhere else bass hide; this head does the heavy lifting.
Ned Rig fishing rewards precision. You're working tight spaces and short casts where finesse matters more than distance. The NedlockZ EWG's recessed eye reduces the profile that tangles in vegetation, and the wide gap hook is sized to hook fish decisively without excess weight or bulk. At 1/10oz, the head sinks deliberately and keeps contact with structure—ideal for slow presentations that trigger bites from pressured fish.
This four-pack gives you enough heads to stay rigged and ready without constant re-ties. Black is a clean, versatile choice that works across clear and stained water conditions. Whether you're new to the Ned Rig or running it as a primary search bait, these heads handle the job with the refinement that's made Z-Man a staple in modern finesse tackle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Ned Rig and when should I fish it?
A Ned Rig is a finesse presentation combining a small jighead with a soft plastic trailer. It excels in shallow cover, clear water, and situations where bass see a lot of traditional lures. Fish it around grass, brush, dock pilings, rocks, and other structure where a slower, more subtle approach triggers bites.
Will this jighead work with any soft plastic?
The molded keeper is designed to hold soft plastics securely. The NedlockZ head works best with baits designed for Ned Rig fishing or general finesse plastics that fit the wide gap hook.
Is the 1/10oz weight appropriate for shallow water?
Yes. The 1/10oz weight is ideal for shallow presentations, allowing controlled descent and extended bottom contact in water from a few feet deep to around 12 feet. It maintains sensitivity while reaching the strike zone without excessive sinking speed.
Does the recessed eye really prevent snagging?
The recessed-eye design reduces the profile that catches on vegetation compared to standard round-eye jigheads. This doesn't eliminate snagging entirely, but it meaningfully improves weedless performance in grass and light cover.
