Charts of how-to diagrams and recommendations re soft plastic bait rigging?

[TR4321]

Does anyone have a chart of how-to diagrams and recommended rods, reels, knots, hooks, weights for the wide variety of soft plastic bait rigging that now exists?  The chart at http://www.fishinfo.com/fishing-articles/article_512.shtml  is pretty good for the riggings that it covers but it is dated 2011 and does not cover the more recent rigs like rage, ned, wackey, neko, mojo, donkey, double fluke, shakey head, etc..

The BassResource.com Library is extensive. Look into the links in green at the top of the page, "Articles".

Thanks.  I find the how-to videos and transcripts very helpful, but I am looking for diagrams and concise written explanations that I can print out and keep handy in a notebook. Something like the charts at http://www.fishinfo.com/fishing-articles/article_512.shtml  but more up to date.

What I have done is created my own notebook either drawing out rigs and ideas in a smaller notebook or by taping magazine articles/pictures of rigs and stuff printed off from websites in a composition size notebook.

Yes, I think I may end up creating my own notebook from different sources.  Perhaps this is a good idea for any aspiring writers who want to publish.

I am a relatively new fisherman and I found it very helpful to just sit down with some plastics and tackle and work out rigging while watching a movie.  By sacrificing a plastic or two out of each new bag I can try out a bunch of different rigging methods to see what works and doesn't before I hit the water.  When I find something that looks promising I take a picture with my phone so I can reference it later.  If you are not fishing with it then even a fragile plastic will last through dozens of rigging trys before they totally fail.  Hell, I have some z-man worms that have had hundreds of hooks and such shoved through them.  I keep all the "practice" lures in a box, so when I get a new hook or jig I can fire up a movie and work through my box looking for a good fit.

Here are a couple links that I use that may be helpful.
