Champ188 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 The Whopper Plopper is a single-bodied lure. The rub with the A-rig, double Fluke rig, etc., is that they are multi-bodied lures attached by a harness of some sort.
Mitch f Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 I understand the differences between the lures. It seems the bigger rub is that it “levels the playing field” of skill. "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
Champ188 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Yes, I suppose you could look at it as a shortcut to success. If you’re into that sort of thing.
arsenal1477 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 While it increases your odds of catching fish, I would not say that fishing the A-Rig makes an angler instantaneously successful or gives them a shortcut to it. Good example: look at the tournaments where the primary medium of catching is the rig. Only one angler/team finishes 1st, the rest are in last. So, unless you are an angler who wins 100% of the tournaments you are in with it, I am not sure I can correlate. Understand though, I am not one to throw it personally. My elbows simply will not allow it. However, I'm not going trash it because anglers are successful using it. If that were the case then we might as well get rid of the Ned Rig. I mean, its dragged(could be dragged using a trolling motor), makes anglers successful on the rock when maybe they weren't before and it catches too many darn fish. Heck, let's get rid of trailer hooks on spinner baits, too. I mean, it modifies the bait by adding an extra hook to increase your hook up ratios if they are biting short. Maybe we should also get rid of depth finders too, especially the ones that cost $5k because you can see exactly where the bass are at. I mean, if I can't afford that then why should someone else be able to have that advantage over me? Why not just get rid of finders all together. Talk about leveling the field. The point is, it's just another tool and one that has probably been around far longer than we realize. If someone wants to splash the cash on them then so be it. Me, personally, I am just fine with the little turd(but I am also not a tournament fisherman). Just my 2 cents.
Mitch f Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 They work well, they win...therefore they are hated...just don’t know why some of the others aren’t hated quite as bad. I guess the better it is, the worse it’s hated "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
vernon Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 I hate them all because none of them work as good for me as they do for everybody else. And I hate all of the people that use all of that stuff to catch more fish than me which is almost everybody including my wife. And especially showoffs like Bo, Babler, dtrs5kprs, Champ and most of the rest of you guys.....

Listen, Titleist Breath, you don't have the market cornered on hating because I have been labeled a hater here MANY more times than you. So there. And yes, I hate you, too. For that matter, anyone who stoops to throwing an A-rig probably uses Volvik golf balls. The fluorescent, matte finish, flaming hot pink ones! snakem, vernon, Bushbeater and 3 others 4 2
