Stinger Hooks For Jigs
Turn strikes into catches by adding a Stinger Hook to jigs!
We all know Stinger Hooks works on spinnerbaits 
TIP: Make sure the stinger hook is weedless or use the soft plastic body to make it that way.
The East Texas Rig – One Step Beyond The DropShot Rig
Ed Kirkland is the creator of the new DropShot Style Rig that is called The East Texas Rig for Spinning & Baitcasting. The East Texas Rig is not fun to cast, but it catches fish.
First I start off with a small snap swivel & perfection loop knot then tie on a Small Weedless Bass Fly a few inches above an worm/fluke/tube then a weight or even a jig in place of the weight. This is simple idea to fish 2 to 3 lures at the same time.
* TIP: Use a Floating Fly and just let it slide up & down the line (don’t tie on) in front of your DropShot hook. The odd thing is a lot of the time fish will hit the fly! The East Texas Rig mimics the classic Predator/Prey Relationship. I fish the E.T. Rig near moss/rocks/docs & open water.
I have also applied the same concept to a fly rig… It works; just down size everything and use flies instead of a worm.
*Note: The first fly needs to be smaller to give the illusion of prey. For the weight use a flyrod size split shot, weighted fly or jig-fly.
