I guess first of all, I need to know which letter is still available. "A", "C" and "T"-rigs are already taken and I need something new and flashy for my next million (which, by pure coincidence, would be my first million prior to netting out overhead expenses).

The general concept is braid through a tungsten bottom bouncer then two glass beads (one clear and one red) followed by a plastic bead (just to be safe, though color doesn't matter), tied onto a barrel swivel followed by 38 inches of fluoro (no more, no less, though brand isn't that important as long as its Bass Pro or LFT) attached to a multi-branched wire system which is suspended by a float system, the complexity of which is limited only by your credit, to which 10 different lures will be tied.

Ok, so that's the easy part. Where the real brain power starts is selection of lures. Here's what I'm thinking should be tied on, in no particular order:

1. red trap (if you're in a hurry, just tie on 10 of these and forget the rest though you'll want to go full braid based on the number of large bass you'll be catching at the same time),

2. chart. double willow spinner bait (one gold, one silver, duh!)

3. t-rigged pumpkin senko in case the water is muddy,

4. wacky rigged zoom trick worm in case the water is clear,

5. cigarette butt (no brand preference as of yet) in case the fish are spawning,

6. DD-20 in case the fish are deep (color - whatever gives you confidence or looks the coolest though it should have red hooks that took you hours to replace),

7. squarebill in case the fish are shallow (not sure on color since I've never caught anything on these and have zero confidence in them),

8. a chart.& pepper skin hooked ring fry for obvious reasons,

9. a lively fathead minnow in case the crappie are biting,

10. stinkbait on a #6 treble (Eagle Claw - I'm a traditionalist and as long as they keep using the 50's photo on their packages that looks like my dad, I'll keep using them) as you will undoubtedly run across a catfish or 2;

11. new penny Gulp shrimp to cover brackish and coastal waters water; and

12. pink power bait (floating) to cover the winter trout bite.

So there you have it, my initial design, I think. Of course I could be swayed by other recommendations accompanied by pictures of bass weighing more than a pound or two with no snag marks.

Comments? (Yes I realize that the system lacks both a SPRO or more expensive frog and anything with KVD on it but including either of those just seems like cheating to me. Unless you use both at the same time, in which case the bass would be so conflicted that you never get a bite which would result in my not making the millions that will be necessary for me to repay Guido.)

Please hurry with feedback as Guido is beginning to look agitated.

J-Rig ([censored])

I thought of a S-Rig which is the spiderman rig. its a cast net on the end of 80# braid thrown with a 7'7" super heavy.

You really have way too much time on your hands.

lol

pure genius

If your really want to cover your basis you need several long leaders. Put frogs on the top ones, crankbaits on the middle ones and soft plastics on the bottom. Then you can cover the whole water column at once. You may want to expand to 2 letters such as the BS rig.

How about the XXX Rig since its sure to be illegal

Z-rig. It's not a phone book so you can start at the other end. G-rig would be cool and you could make G-string to use with it.

EDIT- I just applied for the copyright for the Z-rig and G-rig. IF I catch you saying that or making a you-tube video about it, I will sue you for (Insert Dr.Evil's voice here) ONE TRILLION DOLLARS!

How about the F_ _ _ RIG.

Because F_ _ _ ! is what you will scream after loosing this $25.00 rig. LOL...

One man's "too much time" is another man's "out of medication."

Your gracious and sensitive perspective is appreciated and a spot has just opened up for you on the "HB-Rig" (as long as you don't bring a tradename infringement case against me.) So what shall we take off and how shall we fill it, HB? I'm thinking we should nix the Power Bait since the pond trout are probably all dead by now anyways.

Excellent point, Dano. Didn't think about that. If you are interested, we (me & Guido) may have a spot for you on our marketing team for a small entry fee which you will recover in no time (book it, Dano).

How's does this strike you? We'll price the rig so high that the wealthy class who use it will be too proud to show that they care if they lose the rig.

But that's not all, we can also market an all black and white version to expectant parents and parents of newborns to dangle over the cribs of their budding geniuses who ever crave cognitive stimulation (at an appropriate height with all sorts of disclaimers, obviously). Add some sort of wind up spinning thingy that plays classical music and we can claim that it will do all sorts of good for their little Einsteins.

Granted, in a few years, we may have to move from our beloved Frisco but with the kind of money we're talking about, Grand Cayman shouldn't be a problem. And, if we need to buy some time in the short run, we can explain that their prodigy's lack of academic performance is due to a failing public system which doesn't recognize genius and that they should move their suppressed savants to private school where teachers are more incentivized to recognized genius. Happens around here all the time (trust me on this one. Sadly, this is very common).

Yep, Dano, with your marketing brilliance (and, again, a nominal entry fee) and my initiative, we'll be golden in no time.
