Grub Bite Yet?

I believe that will do it. Excellent response Dave.

It will do what. ?????

Yep, the Ned rig is worthless. No one should fish it.

Many years ago I fished an entire weekend on Broken Bow in Oklahoma with only four pound test line and Charlie Brewer worms on slider heads. I was teaching myself a method. I did not catch that many fish. It was not a great weather/front weekend. I did hook two of the largest brown fish I have ever had on. One threw the hook. The other broke off.

Ned Rig and finesse jikka rigging will work on highland lakes.

My dad and his fishing buddy fished those Charlie Brewer slider heads with black Zoom Trick worms (every once in a while they fished watermelon), almost year round. They fished them in lakes and would make a few float trips a year and they'd fish them in the rivers. They caught a lot of bass on that outfit.

I wish I knew how many fish I've caught on Slider heads.

You made your point and I made mine. So that is about Ip all there is to say. We just have a difference of opinion about the whole ned rig thing. .You and this whole forum will never convince me of the the ned rig is not something has ben around a awful long time. . There are times small lures. But on a whole big Fish eat bigger prey. I and I am sure many others were using what your calling a Ned Rig to catch Small Mouth 45 years ago.

Plug, it has been around in different forms for sure. Have not seen anyone claim otherwise. A big part of the difference is looking at it as an everyday bait, and not something situational for tough days, fronts, etc. I throw it probably 70%-75% of the time, others closer to 90%-100%.

Please know there are no hard feelings on my end, hope not on yours. Was just clarifying some things for others who might have been reading along. Take care, looks like we both have weather coming. Wife said it was nasty in the big KC, might get that way here in the little one.

I know whats coming. I am a small time hosta plant collector. I have currently around 100 varieties. and about 30 or 40 more in 6" pots that I grow for Charity sale. At this time almost all are starting to emerge and several are starting to unfurl their leafs. This is what they look like right now. there are a lot more in other places as well. around the house.

just an update, the berkley havoc beat shad is a nice little swim bait. i used them on an A-RIg during a tournament yesterday, caught several fish with it and the durability is good.

Will check them out, thanks.
