like the Ned rig for example.  I have one but I will share with you guys later.  I call it the Mango rig

 

Why not call it the VUE Rig?   

 

 

I have several that I call the skunk rig.

I could LOL

I have a super-popular rig that I named after myself.  It's a bare section of stretched, curly fishing line at the end of your rod after you have snagged and broken off for the 87th time in one fishing trip.  It's called the "Stupid %#&*!".

I use that all the time, was wondering if it had a name. Thanks!  

I've caught a ton of bass with a Finesse TRD on a 1/16oz jighead, with a bobber about 30" above it. I call it "desperate."

This ones really special to me...I call it “the Sean”.

 

Its a highly involved process of lying to everyone in my house and telling them I’m going to “get some stuff done” or “do some work at the shop” instead of admitting that I’m heading to the lake for the second day in a row. 

YOU can't name you own rig after yourself.  It is tacky, and speaks to the need for massive ego stroking.  Ned calls his style of fishing "midwest finesse".  Other people started calling it the Ned rig.

I fish that rig a lot.  

If ever a rig is named after me, it'll probably be something cheap that gets snagged and lost, followed by something expensive that gets snagged IN THE EXACT. SAME. PLACE.

I named a knot after me , the Dane . We were having knot class at work and I doubled the rope and tied a boline . It made three loops . I thought "this could be used as a rescue knot" . Then watching the movie Hacksaw Ridge Doss did the same thing and he  used that knot to save numerous lives . So , I cant call it the Dane anymore . Its the Doss .

I used to have a rig I called the last ditch effort rig. 

 

It was a small 1/32 jig head with a Gulp Minnow under a bobber. Depending on depth 12" to 30" deep. 

 

I havent used it in a long time because I'm tired of having an entire bag of tailless gulp minnows. 

The Scott rig is guaranteed to catch small, submerged tree limbs every time.  Today I caught two using it.

BMCF rig - Pile approximately 72 lbs of virtually unused plastics, spinnerbaits, and hardbaits into a backpack to carry around along with three rods, only one of which is in use.

Approximate cost: $5,763/year

Total fish: Sometimes

 

I give you: The Bait Monkey College Fund Rig

I invented a rig many years ago when I had no idea what I was doing.  I thought I was a GENIUS!  Some of you may use the JadeRose rig but you may know it by a different name.  Some call it the "Carolina Rig"  ?

Here is the mango rig.  Try it with a keitech swing impact you’ll fall in love with it

the Mango rig
My go to and cheap alternative for sinkers

My rig is called the "This is my last cast" 

 

Its pretty simple:

 

1. Get ready to leave, tell yourself this is your last cast

2. Decide to cast 3-10 more times

3. Snag and spend 15 minutes to eventually break it off

4. Leave without the lure and 30 minutes of your life wasted

Hey! That's one of my secret rigs, but I use a 5th step:

 

5. Come home way later than I intended to and discover an angry woman on the couch.

Almost 15 years or so ago I had a rig I called the jig worm.  I would buy long shank jig hooks from Walmart in 1/8 oz and put a trick worm on it.  My logic at the time was to present the worm standing up and work it in the target zone longer than a regular t rig.  It was the best kept secret I had....until I opened a fishing magazine and saw that it was called the shakey head and all the pros were doing it.  So much for my "jig worm"
