Thoughts?

I am not sure you have anything there thats going to revolutionize bass fishing but I don't think its dumb to experiment. 

Is that a twist lock frog hook? Where do the hooks come out from?

The hooks come out from the twin tail trailers, lmao.

I agree, it looks stupid..

Nice bass there.

It ain't dumb if it works.

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 .

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)

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!

Experiment + Nice Big Bass in the boat = Not dumb.  Rock on.

That's what Illinois did with the last 4 out of 7 governor's.

If stupid produces things like this then count me in !!!   Nice bass!

  • Super User

I got another name for it: Undercurl. Huh? huh?

 

Undergrub?

Delaware rig, lmao, as our state doesn't get to much attention for anything

Not sure this new bait is gonna put your state on the map quite yet. Lol

Nice bass. Let us know when you consistently catch more on that outfit.

:wink2:

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!

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.

My thoughts exactly.

I`m amazed it worked!
