Hi Rodney,

I took a look at your web site and I appreciate your offer. But,
it is not what I am after. The environment I am in is fast water.
The bait/lure/fly has to drift naturally with the current. Although
I do not fish with a fly rod, the technique I use is very similar to
fly fishing. Your very interesting rid is much more suited to
still water fishing. And I really do appreciate your offer.

Many thanks,
-T

Todd this thing also catches huge numbers of trout in fast water, you
have nothing to loose to try it


Hi Rodney,

The fly fisherman down here do something similar to what you
are doing. The use a bead head fly, such as a wolly bugger, as
the weight on the end, and a nymph where you put the rubber
lure. The difference is that they do not use an elastic line
between the bottom weight and the nymph. It is a total
pain in the ass, as all it does is get tangled up. And
no beaded anything catches anything as it does not float
correctly.

Not even close to the same rig

What I am trying to simulate with all my presentations
is what is described by Ralph Cutter as the "catastrophic
drift". This is what I am trying to reproduce.

I thought you just wanted to catch more trout :-)

And, the river's bottom is very rocky. The MOST weight
I can add is a single tiny split shot. Anything larger and
I starting catching moss fish, bottom fish, rock fish. I
loose a lot of rigs on that river.

My rig works great with a tiny split shot

I have a tiny wire that the split shot is crimped on, the wire will not
hang you up, but will allow you to work a lure in one spot. If the split
shot does hang up, the wire pulls out of it, so you just crimp another
shot on

What you need to convince me of is how I would do
a drift with your counter balance weight and 1) not
catch a rock fish and 2) simulate a catastrophic drift?

Well instead of drifting the bait by where the fish are, with my rig you
just throw it where they are, and it stays there until you catch the fish
