While I try to stay out of these negative posts about the Ned, it bothers me to see people complain about it not being new, (no one has really said it was). Or the complaint of it catching small fish (so do many other lures). Or those who complain about Dave promoting it. I'm very glad that he has and does. About the gut hooking, someone posted a pic of a wart that was swallowed deep. Can we say treble hook gut hook? I'm sure that fish did not live,yet no problem there. Thank you to the members who post useful information on here. Please continue, I really enjoy reading about your success and failure. To those who only complain, remember what your mom told you, if you don't have any thing nice to say, say nothing at all. Sorry,rant over.
