WilliamMcCabe reply :
So I was messing around today, and started throwing this (looks stupid)
[/url
And it produced this?
Thoughts?
gobig reply :
I am not sure you have anything there thats going to revolutionize bass fishing but I don't think its dumb to experiment.
Shanes7614 reply :
Is that a twist lock frog hook? Where do the hooks come out from?
WilliamMcCabe reply :
The hooks come out from the twin tail trailers, lmao.

I agree, it looks stupid..
Nice bass there.
RAMBLER reply :
It ain't dumb if it works.
scaleface reply :
Dont quit experimenting . Last year I took the blade off a spinnerbait and replaced it with a curl tail grub. I didnt catch a fish on it , only because I didnt try very long .
the reel ess reply :
Good job! It's a new design. Go ahead and name it while it's still yours. It's amazing what bass will bite the first time they see it. Keep using it.
I call it a GRUKE (grub/fluke)
MIbassyaker reply :
Yeah, if it produced, then by definition it's not dumb.
First time I saw a worm on a wacky rig, I thought it looked dumb.

Nothing is ever dumb in fishing. Look at the size of OUR brains compared to theirs.... Now who's dumb??? Lol.
Consistency is key. There are reasons whacky rigs work as they emulate something in the water a fish will eat. This however I have no idea. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut on occasion.

If a human acted like a bass, we'd lock him up for his own safety.
Or elect him to office.
Or both.

sometimes experimenting leads to finding the key to your fishing spot! Nice catch, way to keep your mind thinking and thinking outside the box!
Jaderose reply :
Experiment + Nice Big Bass in the boat = Not dumb. Rock on.
(note to self: Stay away from this weirdo)

That's what Illinois did with the last 4 out of 7 governor's.
Felix77 reply :
If stupid produces things like this then count me in !!! Nice bass!
the reel ess reply :
I got another name for it: Undercurl. Huh? huh?
Undergrub?
WilliamMcCabe reply :
Delaware rig, lmao, as our state doesn't get to much attention for anything
Shanes7614 reply :
Not sure this new bait is gonna put your state on the map quite yet. Lol
royal0014 reply :
Nice bass. Let us know when you consistently catch more on that outfit.
fireandice reply :
I'd name it "Flub" or "Flubber." And I used to talk smack on my teenage stepson when he would make "ghetto baits" out of a bunch of crap in his box. I stopped making fun, when he outfished me twice in a row. My opinion is that you were throwing something that the bass had never seen before and hadn't been conditioned to ignore. Well played!
Canyon explorer reply :
Through the years I have often seen bass try to take a bait away from another bass, especially Kentucky bass on dock corners.

What's that have to do with a name for it? Lol. Are you saying the fluke is trying to eat a grub or the grub is trying to eat the fluke? When he starts posting videos of fish being caught consistently with this then we'll worry about it.

Who is the blind squirrel in this analogy? The fish or the angler?

Lol some of these threads tonight

Take your pick. He either found the one fish that was hungry enough to hit that bait or the bass itself in randomly swimming by his contraption. Even the OP thinks it's dumb. Look at his title. I'm just confused as to why he's questioning it produced as well.

What is there to be confused about? The OP is (1) astonished and delighted by the effectiveness of the rig, cobbled together on a whim, and (2) is asking for thoughts on interpretation of why it worked.
In any case, the identity of the blind squirrel matters! If it is the fish, then any other ridiculous-looking rig may have randomly worked just as well. If it is the angler, then the OP has perhaps stumbled upon a pattern!
Shanes7614 reply :
Could be either then I guess. Only he would know why what HE put together would work as it made sense to him to make and use his bait.

The genisis of McCabe's post was his creation "looked stupid" My post related to his subject implying it was not stupid. Sorry it was unrelated to the morph of naming it. I,ll move on.
