I catch the fish, in the worst rocks and crap there is, and don't get
snagged, and a lot of pro's are doing it now as well,, and they are
winning using this new weight,,

I love fishing rocks John, rip-rap in particular. And you're right - much
like a stump or brushpile, making actual contact with the rocks often draws
a reflex strike. Sure, we make our donations, but that's the price we pay
to make the right presentation.

I was fishing riprap in a muddy Delaware River last weekend. Right on the
main river. The bass hide behind individual (large) rocks as the current
flows by. My bait of choice was a large flippin tube (Mizmo Big Boy). I
put a Rook's Thunder Rattle (Mizmo) in the head of the tube. I could
picture the sube hopping from rock to rock along with the current, making a
brief rattle each time it made contact. It worked well. If that bait
wasn't contacting the rocks the fish never would have known it was there.

And those donations? Bass fisherman donate lures. It's what they do.

I said it was "rare" to actually get a hook snagged in rocks,, a hook,,
not the weight,, I'm sure you were fishing with a bare hook, or just a
soft plastic on it in, 30 feet of water, (yeah right) perhaps you were
using 4# test,, then you might break off before getting a "hook" loose
from rocks. Hooks do not bite into rocks, most are small enough if the
line can get through the cracks, then the hook can, now a bead, or a
swivel, they can easily get stuck in rocks, but mostly you weight hangs
up in rocks, well at least they did, we have pro's fishing rocky lakes
and pre fish and fish up to 3 tournaments on the same weight,, they look
like hell after three weeks of the rocks, but they are still snagless.
These pro's are not snagging their hooks either.


If you don't believe me, ask Bassdozer, some of you know him I think.

You need to get out and fish more Rodney. Either that or fish some
different types of water. Maybe you don't have the patience to let a
Senko drop on a wacky rig into 30 feet of water on 10 lb fluorocarbon,
however I do. Most of the time it is 13 to 15 feet or shallow riprap.
Is riprap rock Rodney? I just want to make sure...

Ah...the plug for your snagless weight when discussing a hook getting
hung in the rocks. Rodney, you re-define shill.

Then again I knew it was coming. You can't enter any conversation
without plugging one of your doohickies.
