I've fished Michigan lakes for sixty years, and in this video I count down 20 poor man's fishing rigs that replace every screen, motor and pole on a bass boat, from a $3 casting bubble to the $1.60 Ned rig that the tournament boats ended up copying.
In this video:
A bleach jug, a knotted string and a bucket with a window in it, in place of thousands of dollars of electronics
The split-shot rig, the beetle spin, the crawler harness and the circle hook on a forked stick
A rubber band that works like a downrigger, and a $4.50 spoon on a pier that beats a $1,000 charter
The poor man's fleet: waders, a jon boat for about $2,000, a kayak with a milk crate, and the float tube
The float-n-fly for January smallmouth, and the Ned rig worked out by a man who died broke
The boat is not the scam. The scam is the idea that fishing starts at the ramp.
As always: check your state's regulations on lines, hooks, bait, boat registration and life jackets, they differ everywhere. Anchor from the bow, never the stern. Float tubes on still water only.
What did you learn to fish out of? Tell me below, I read every comment.
