I find it rather amusing to view some of the newer, latest, and greatest ideas in fishing. Ned rigs? That is how most worms were fished since Nick Creme came out with them in 1949. Personally I fished the "ned rig" since 1959. Senko, trick worm, what ever you want to call the rig has been fished by me and people I know since middle 60s. Removing skirts from single blade spinner baits and putting a 12 inch Jelly Worm on it. Used to murder the fish on Rayburn and Toledo with that. Carolina rigging floating crank baits into bass suspended 6 to 8 feet off the bottom. Dead fishing large crank baits on the bottom. Have not seen any "new" lure in the last 50 years. Sure, variations of lures, but no new ones and actually, no new methods. Skipping under docks? Done it for 50 years. Punching grass mats? Done it for 50 years. Used wooden frogs in the early 60s. Suggo? Fished those guiding on Fork 2 years before anyone even saw one on Fork, around 1987 or so, dont remember exactly. It was a killer 60 70 80 fish days on that thing. Lots of things you can do. Nothing really new.
If it was a stupid idea, you can be assured I have already done it

![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/07/full-113787-61490-bassa4.jpg) Nothing to do with a Ned rig either, though I have more luck with these.

I remember before rods and reels were a thing, I was using the bone from a fleet footed Siberian Yak as a rod, and the heart of an elderberry tree as a reel, with some modifications. For string I used the sinew of a menstruating albino sabre tooth tiger.

We’ve come along way, Bro... lol My great Uncles John/Rudy were slaughtering fish(all species) on a simple jighead/worm combo (Jigworm) for many years before they introduced it to me at a young age. A crawfish(Brown/Orange)colored worm/1/16-1/8 Jig caught me many o’ smallmouth and goggle eyes when I spent my summers as a young boy with my grandparents in the Ouachitas in Arkansas.
