The remark about yesterday was a Punny - I hope you took it that way,
Warren.
I would like to wet a line with you someday also.

I remember those long nights studying. Organic chemistry, physics,
microbiology...yuk! All of my bad dreams these days concern my thinking
that I've got a big test tomorrow, and It's been almost 20 years since I
took a test lol. Had that dream last night in fact.

I hope we get to wet a line together big-guy.

rotflmfao! Where have I heard that before? Maybe there's a newsgroup
for braindead fisherman who actually fall for Rodney's spew.

I love the way he claims those hooks make the bait "kick out" when you
tighten the line. Like that tiny soft plastic's gonna make the hook
droop on a slack line anyway, lol. And how he claims the hook prevents
gut-hooking - sure, if you're using piano wire for line! And how his
hook makes the fish smell the bait better, Rod's a real expert on
olfactory senses lol.

He also claims his sinker can go through riprap without snagging. I
know some riprap that'll eat his sinkers like I eat Boston Creme Donuts.
He claims it hops from rock to rock. We were born at night, but not
last night Rod! The Lindners' weights with the piano wire trailers are
the most snagproof sinkers ever made.

As for a tool to help you tye a knot? I won't even go there.

I think most of us recognize the fact that there is nothing new under
the Sun. Just small modifications to "already been invented things." You
may not have noticed that the State of Michigan does not allow you to
tie a hook directly to the main line, you have to have a 3 inch dropper.
So your drop shot hook will not "play in Peoria."

You remind me of the proverbial "Snake Oil Salesman." You have a knack
for developing things that fisherman don't need.

EZKnot - for people that cannot tie there shoes.

Stand out Hooks - For people that have not learned the Polomer Knot.

Rock Hopper - A take off of the old "welding rod" weight. The Linders
No Hang weight is much better, in my opinion.

Long Shot, Wiggle, Boomerang - This is mainly for people who cannot
wiggle a rod tip.

Rig Saver - If your fishing in current your not catching fish. From
everything I have read, fish do not like strong current. But I get your
point. You need a bigger weight.

These are just my observations on the subject. You do have an inventive
mind. So did P.T. Barnum.

Using A drop leader, is not drop shotting,, drop shotting does not use
a leader from the main line to the hook,, dropper rigs with drop
leaders with the weight below them, is a way to fish off the bottom,
or a way to use more than one hook fishing, this method has been used
for a very long time,, usually with natural baits, but sometimes with
small lures (the Sabinky rig) bouncing the weight, or tightening the
line between the weight produces little action to the hooks when they
are hung on leaders.

Although tying a hook straight to the main line and a weight below has
also been down in the past, is was always used with natural bait, and
the fisherman just did not know how to make a drop leader rig, which
he would have rather used, if he knew how.

The technique of actually drop shotting, like done today is relative
new, where the fisherman tries to add a little action to a lure, even
with it basically stationary. (note) the StandOut hook adds to this
action, as it "kicks" the lure when the line draws taught against the
weight.

The Mojo SpecTastic Rig takes drop shotting to an entirely new level,
where total lure action is controlled even in 6 inches of water or on
the surface

The only reason I posted this is to let some know the difference,, if
they have never drop shotted before,

You don't need either of my inventions to drop shot effectively, they
just make it better
