Down-fishing is a type of finesse fishing that can be used in the pursuit of perch and other game fish.

The method primarily relies on a flat or rounded jig head that causes the bait to stand on the bottom with the head downward, "dancing" back and forth a little. This makes the bait resemble a forage fish, worm, larva, or beetle that is feeding.

For crayfish imitations, the Ned head allows the crayfish's claws to rise and appear to be in a defensive position, which often triggers the fish to strike.

The Ned method can be fished back in varying speeds and with small jerks, but usually, the retrieval is done slowly along the bottom.
