Rapala CrushCity Ned BLT

The Rapala CrushCity Ned BLT is a premium floating finesse worm designed to help anglers catch more bass when conditions are tough. Developed in collaboration with Bassmaster Elite Series pro Jacob Wheeler, the Ned BLT combines exceptional buoyancy, incredible durability, and subtle lifelike action to create one of the most effective Ned rig baits available.

Constructed from high-floating TPE material, the Ned BLT naturally stands upright on a Ned head, creating an irresistible defensive posture that imitates crawfish, gobies, and other bottom-dwelling forage. Its tapered ribbed tail responds to the slightest movement from current, wind, or subtle rod twitches, producing lifelike action that consistently triggers bites from pressured bass.

Rapala's Smart Injection Technology™ precisely places color, flake, salt, and scent throughout the bait to create a realistic presentation while encouraging fish to hold on longer after the bite. The durable TPE construction withstands repeated catches, making the Ned BLT an outstanding value for anglers who spend long days on the water.

Although purpose-built for Ned rig fishing, the CrushCity Ned BLT is equally effective on drop shots, jig heads, and other finesse presentations. Whether you're targeting largemouth around shallow cover, smallmouth on rocky points, or spotted bass suspended over offshore structure, the Ned BLT is built to consistently produce bites when finesse presentations are required.

Why Anglers Choose the Ned BLT

The CrushCity Ned BLT takes one of bass fishing's most productive finesse techniques and makes it even better.

When bites are hard to come by, the Ned BLT delivers the subtle presentation that convinces pressured bass to commit.
