A drop leader is not a drop shot

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

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

snagproof sinkers ever made.

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.

I just returned from a months vacation in Italy. Thought about you, Rodney.
Was in a fishing museum on Lake Tresimento on the Umbria , Tuscany border.
They had pictures of a close relative to the drop shot rig. Was a weight on
the bottom and a float to the surface on a line. Off this line was the main
line with a couple of hooks, so they could give action to the hooks and be
off the bottom. This rig was dated 100 B.C. Romans were even into dropshot
fishing. While there, I talked to a couple of guys who came in from bass
fishing, they do have large mouth bass in the lake to 3#. He had a tracker
bass boat, about 16-17 feet, and said it cost about 19,500 Euros. Present
value is $1.24 to 1 Euro. Expensive. Gave them a copy of Western Outdoor
News I had in the backpack. They said the fishing was tough as the lake
was down about 3' and stirred up.

Gee Warren ,, you are so much smarter than Bill DAnce,, Hank Parker, Ray
Scott, AL Linder, the guys at B.A.S.S. headquarters and many many more
real "professional" fishermen and about 400 out door writers. The Guys
at North American Fishermen even shot a show on my stuff. I have just
fooled the hell out of these guys. Fooled them so well they all use my
stuff, and will stand behind them.

You Warren, just know everything, you don't have to see it to know it

Your really showing just how LOW of a person you really are, you don't
want anyone using my stuff because you fear they will whip your butt
with them,, Guess what, your butts already been whipped with them in
tournaments, and it's going to get much worst Warren my friend, as we
are going to be sponsoring many more pro's next year

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Now I'm the one ROTFLMAO
