Dropshotting

Rodney,
Jay Yelas NEVER claimed to have invented the rig in question, but was merely
demo'ing it in answer to a question from a member of the audience. IT was ME
that tagged it "the Jay Yelas rig" as this was the first time that I had
seen it. Now if you have a problem with me doing so, I could care frikken
less. You may or may not have invented it, but who gives a rats rear end as
you said yourself that you couldn't or wouldn't patient it, so therefore, it
is pubic domain as for as I am concerned much the same as the Texas rig,
which I'm sure that you invented also!

All I was attempting to do is present another method or technique to the OP
so that he could try different options to find which works best for him. So
get off your high horse and quit worry so much about someone stealing your
thunder and get a life. Go fishing and don't sweat the small crap!

Cheers,

tying the DS hook on the main line above the swivel for the CR rig. The
length above the swivel would depend on the conditions that one is
fishing.
According to Yelas,

WEll he DID not come up with it

I did, and demo'ed it 3 years ago at Bass Pro, and the Classic in New
Orleans, even have it in a video filmed 40 months ago, and Bill Dance
using it on his show 32 months ago

I will give Jay a call,, and at least get him to say he saw it elsewhere

Why not try the Jay Yelas rig? He combines both a DS rig with a CR rig by
tying the DS hook on the main line above the swivel for the CR rig. The
length above the swivel would depend on the conditions that one is fishing.
According to Yelas, this would give the angler a double shot at the fish at
two different depths and baits and can help determine what the fish want at
a given time. Makes a great search rig, in that anytime the CR weight
contacts some cover, the rig can be held in place and then shake, shake,
shake with the rod tip to really bring the DS bait into action. He demo'd
this rig at the Grand Opening of the Bass Pro shop near here in Shreveport,
La. Looked and really sounded reasonable the way he presented it.
I haven't had the opportunity to try this yet, but plan to in the near
future.
Keep yer fanny dry and yer line wet!

What are ideal conditions for DS? Such as deep or shallow, clear or
stained,
weeds or gravel, etc. Any info anyone would like to give on conditions or
techniques is appreciated. I have tried several times with out success.
