If a human acted like a bass, we'd lock him up for his own safety.

Or elect him to office.

Or both.

I`m amazed it worked!

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

Lol some of these threads tonight

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
