I fished a lake one time that I am sure had no fish.  I had been gone from the area for a few years, and came home to visit one spring.  I decided to fish a lake I had good luck at before I left.  I checked the regulations, and it was still listed as open year round general rules and limits apply.  What the regs. didn't say was it had been treeted with poison a week earlier to get rid of trash fish.  The lake was due to get planted with trout and bass later in the spring.  I put in a hard 10 hrs fishing, throwing every thing in the box in a 100% fishless lake.

       I didn't mind getting skunked, but I couldn't get my fishing partner to keep his mouth shut.  My reputation as a fisherman was ruined for ever that day.  30 years later I still get asked by some farmer if I want to fish in his cow's water trough, am I going to go to the river and try to catch a whale, or if I go fishing with you in Alaska, can you please take me to a place where fish swim.

I can proudly say I never bought or fished a helicopter lure ? I have, however, caught thousands (and thousands) of bass now on a Ned rig, so Ned-1, Roland-0. The lack of “superstar” power behind the Ned for years relative to where it is now in the marketplace speaks volumes for its credibility, IMO. Even Bill’s Danc’n Eel could only dream of ever catching bass a fraction as good as Ned ?

Caught a big Peacock on a Black Danc'n Eel!  ?

I just placed a odor for Neds.  I will back charge you if they fail  to be better Rapala.

 

They look like a fat something. Should beat the Rapala in our area.  

What odor are you buying?

I can usually still manage a few in that situation on a Ned rig :high-five:

 

Every time I convince myself that I don't need that finesse stuff and remind myself that I've never seen KVD with a spinning reel I end up reading something like this and go right back to square one....

I love my Rapala's too, but I catch WAY more fish over the course of a year with Midwest Finesse of some sort - my money should be safe :wink7:

Lol - even KVD caught his largest tournament bass (~12 pounds) on a spinning outfit with shakeyhead :thumbsup: Beside, he's from Michigan - he knows the power of a spinning outfit and light stuff at the right time and location...
