Ned rigs and other such stuff - 07/30/20 05:18 PM
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.

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.

The new ned rig used to be a man's stingray grub on a lead head. Remember my dad fishing those in the 70's

Did that grub float? Sit there tail up and just barely quiver while dead sticked? That’s what a ned rig does due to the elaztec material.

Yea, it did. How many of you shove an alka seltzer in 4" tube to make big girl bite off a bed? Name me one single "new" lure. Not a variation, but new. These came off the 4 inch seltzer tube. (polident actually) 13.3 and 14.1

Every lure WAS new at one point take your pic and name them off in your own head. Maybe you meant to say name me one single new lure from 2019?
The alka seltzer was being used almost the day tubes came out.... 70s.. from what I remember reading in magazines 30 years ago.

Chatterbait
Spybait
Glide bait
Guess we are going to get in a discussion about what is the definition “NEW” and what is “CHANGED” or “ADJUSTED”. I consider the Chatterbait or bladed jig as a completely new lure on the market when it came out yet others will argue it’s simply a variation of the spinnerbait. I view many lures as “new” but it’s semantics really. I see the OP’s original point but it probably got lost for many in his “delivery”!
