Default Re: Neds Work When Nothing Else Does

There's nothing new under the sun.. Decades and decades ago,old timers were catching fish on the identical rig... A short piece of plastic worm, or a rubber or plastic grub body, or even a Mister Twister or similar on a plain unpainted jig head... I mean honestly , we caught a lot of fish on grub bodies when I was a kid, and i'm now 69......

Some old timers here will remember the 70's and early 80's, When it was child's play to load a boat with 10 lb+ Tiderunners, by just throwing a 2 or 3 inch stubby rigid actionless tube called a "Tiger Tail' I think over the side, and putting the rod into the holder.. same profile..Stubby actionless body on a jig head.. We have been doing it for many decades,, These days however, everything is named, and overhyped.. I have been catching lakers, Walleyes, SMB up here as well for over 32 years, on short no action grub bodies on a jig head, again, decades before the term ""Ned Rig"' was ever heard of. Fish just pick them right off bottom, without ever even wiggling the rod tip.. bob
