Whats the name???

Featured Replies

I went to a fishing show with Peter T and VanDam doing seminars 3 weeks ago.  Both of them, Peter T esp., were talking about this weight that you can clip onto a EWG worm hook (looks like a bell/ball with a little clip that attaches it to your hook) and it is susposed to make you lure fall horizontal in the water like a senko.  Went to BPS and asked about them and they had no clue?  Anybody else know what I am talking about or the name of these new weights?

Nope,

Not only have I never heard of them but I did not see them advertiesed in any bass magazine.

So, go to KVD's web site and see if he has posted anything about them and let us know.

Thanks.

Imagine this is a picture of a Texas rigged curly tail worm. It has a split shot pinched on the hook represented by (0). Sounds like you are talking about a product designed to replace the pinched split shot?

never heard of anything like that.

Cant think of the name but it was orig. made for flipping and punching matts. The ones i have seen were 1/2-1 1/2oz. BPS sells a plastic  8-)that comes with the hook and weight.

The Mustad Power Lock Plus Weighted EWG Hook works the same way. You can slide the weight up or down, depending on how you want your bait to fall.

This is probably the closest to what they had.  Since it was KVD and Peter T, they were swarmed with people and I never had the chance to ask the name.  I herd them say that you could pick up a pack at BPS, so I left and figured I would find them there.....  Thanks for help guys, I believe that Ill just take yalls advice and make my own!

that's pretty much nothing like I pictured you talking about. if it was peter T, i'm sure whatever he was talking about is made by tru-tungsten. Check that website.

TLBassin,  I know what you are talking about.  It is simply a weight that does attach to the hook.  It puts the weight at the bottom of the bait, instead of at the top as is the case with normal texas rigging.  I do not know how to post links.  These have been around for a couple years now and they work well.  Out of thin air they might be called the Okechobee rig???  The way they work is when you punch through the mat with them, the bait does not turn 180 degrees.  This way your line stays inline to the rod tip.  I am probably not describing this well, but I am trying.  Thanks for bearing with me.

Rob G.  that sounds about right.  They were talking about jerk baits and Peter T was using one on a fluke and it made it fall horizontal in the water column instead of nose diving down.  The weight is able to move on the hook shaft so that the weight is at the lowest point on the shaft causing it to fall horizontal.  It almost looked like a senko falling with the side to side wobble.  Could be a more cost effective way to fish soft plastic horizontal with out shelling out the bucks for senkos, watch out senkos!!!! ;D
