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

You had better not bet on this one,, you will instantly loose

I CAN PROVE this, it was even in the Boomerang instructions three years
ago, I showed it to every pro at the Guntersville B.A.S.S. Tournament a
couple of years ago, and it was in Bassmaster's magazine (with me) in
June 2001, it's even part of my patent

What more PROOF do you want ?????????????????????????????????

You did not invent it Rodney. You just applied it to using a CR rig or some
other rig below a dropshot in bass fishing. There were probably others
doing it bass fishing also. We have used a hook above a jig for at least 50
years that I know of while fishing for rockcod on the west coast. The hook
above used to be a shrimp fly and then with the advent of plastics a grub or
a swimbait.

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,
