Forget about it. That’s right; forget about everything you have learned about drop shotting. Put it in your mental and physical recycle bin and delete it. Do not forget to delete the memory on your backup either. Oh, you can also leave all your drop shot hooks and fancy hand poured finesse worms at home. The only lure and hook you will need is the Trendsetter Drop Shot Jig.
Before I go any farther, let me explain, the Drop Shot Jig by Trendsetter Tackle brings a new dimension to drop shotting. Unlike your normal drop shot rig that consists of a bare drop shot hook rigged with a soft plastic lure and drop shot weight, a Trendsetter Drop Shot Jig does not require any soft plastic or any lure added to it; that’s because a Trendsetter Drop Shot Jig like most fishing jigs has a skirt. The skirt is made from chenille and marabou with a StandOUT hook. To rig a Drop Shot Jig, tie a knot on the top eye leaving whatever length of line you want between your drop shot weight and Drop Shot Jig then run your tag end through the bottom eye and tie on your drop shot weight.
I love to reminisce about catching big bass; nothing can beat explaining to your fishing buddies how you battled the big-un to the boat and quickly took a photo with your Blackberry before releasing it.
Sometimes when two completely different things collide, something totally unique is created; take for instance peanut butter and jelly, separate okay tasting. When mixed between two pieces of bread an undeniable delectable sandwich.
The other day I was lucky enough to go fishing with a Bassmaster Elite Series Pro Angler while he was preparing for an upcoming event. Like any angler, he had numerous fishing rods laid out on the deck of his boat, everything from topwater lures, swimbaits, to Texas rigged worms. As he went along the shoreline casting and pitching at lay downs, every once and a while he would change lures, testing to see which one got the better bite. In the end, one lure stood out among the rest. Confident that he knew what lure to fish with when the tournament started, he began putting his fishing rods up and cutting off all the named brand baits throwing them on to the deck of the boat. Grabbing my camera, I started taking pictures of all the lures. Quickly, the pro snatched the hair jig up before I could take a photo of it. Sheepishly, the pro looked at me and whispered in a hushed voice, “Lets keep this hair jig a secret between us, okay.” Since the tournament is over with, I am going to let the cat out of the bag. Anglers, especially professional anglers everywhere are secretly fishing with handmade, hand painted, no name brand custom built hair jigs.
Few, if any, new innovative fishing lures are ever made. The majority of “new” lures are just resized or regurgitated lures already being produced. They are made to catch anglers and not fish. For BustinBass lures, it was going against the traditional way of thinking that sets them apart from the other spinnerbait manufactures. In a revolutionary move, BustinBass has turned their back on the old, traditional two-dimensional spinnerbait to produce a new three-dimensional spinnerbait with “multi-wire spinnerbait technology”. Without a doubt, it’s not your daddy’s spinnerbait.
In the fishing industry, a thousand new companies start up each year. Every single company believes they have lures or fishing equipment that anglers will purchase. A hot new bait or fishing tool with a pro staff other companies would envy. Then all you need is a catchy name for your company and product. Some of my favorite: Flappy Daddy by Gambler, Big Show by YUM, Little Peety by BassHunter Custom Crankbits, or Dump Truck Jigs endorsed by Hank Cherry. Now, I have a new one, Naked Bait Co Skirt Expander. The name of the company alone makes you stop, then add Skirt Expander to the mix and you have a winner.
