The Little Varmint

[Phil Lilley]

Back in 2010, Stacey King of Reeds Spring, Missouri, was the first angler to wield a Little Varmint and catch a black bass on it at Table Rock Lake, Missouri. And for many months, he and a couple of his close friends, such as Robert Robbins of Branson, Missouri, and Lloyd Lefty Evans of Kimberling City, Missouri, were the only Ozarks anglers who used it, and they caught an impressive array of largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and spotted bass on it.

I hate to say it, but who hasn't pinched off a ragged worm and dragged it across the bottom on a jig head? Grubs were fished that way and i don't know when the appeared, but it wasn't recent.

You sure got that right Wayne. Now they say i quote " in northern Kansas where it was created ". I still firmly believe that all this noise about Ned's rig is nothing more than a attempt to commercialize it by shoving it down your throats. I really do not trust anyone when they take a system we have all used and some guy attaches his name to it. It is nothing more than a money making endeavor. He wants to be glorified as very special person in the world of sports fishing. I sure do not think borrowing is creating.

Yep, when i started fly fishing In the eighties the industry was full of people placing their names in front of some kind of "System". Good grief it was lame, that's why I stopped buying magazines and listening to the self appointed angling experts and started spending time on the water.

Nice crawdad.
