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,

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

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.

Yet you are saying he did ?

Probably don't get it, and how in the world can you say I didn't ?

I would bet there are a lot of fishermen are doing it now


There is not a single article "ANYWHERE" in any fishing magazine, prior
to me publishing it, this fisherman never demonstrated it prior, and
according to the US patent office I am the inventor of it, No, someone
using it does not infringe on my patent, as that part was not worth
patenting, (no way to enforce that part of the patent) although it is
included in my patent drawings

WHen I showed this part (the Carolina rigged drop shot) to Bill Dance,
Hank Parker, Ray Scott, AL Linder, The editor of Bassmaster's, The
writers of Bassmaster's, Field and Stream, and two dozen other
magazines, they said they had never heard of it, or anyone ever thinking
about it prior


Someone claiming it is "their" idea is morally wrong, PERIOD !

"""If""" someone, some where, used it once prior to me,, then that is
just tough, first to publish, gets the credit, unless they can "prove" I
got it from them, or from ANYWHERE else.
