I agree, the Owners are way better than the VMC.

How to use it has been explained,when to use it has not. It would be great for fishing smallies or spots where there is not a lot of debris or grass. If you are fishing Fork where there is a lot of stumps and lay downs, I use a Matzuo 1/0 "J" hook so I can T-rig the bait. If you run your tag end back through the hook loop, it will make your hook stand out perpendicular.

If my math is correct 2011 is before 2012, invent and make your own stuff, stop copying other peoples work and calling it your own, then saying "we just made it better" after you stole the idea



I don't understand what part of "we just made it better" you don't get...maybe "Lo hicemos mejor" is better for you....Lets see....VMC hooks suck...so we swapped em out for Owner hooks and in different hook styles that made this style rig top notch now....Too bad Owner didn't come out with a swivel style rig...Too bad we improved on it here in your backyard. Made in Texas by spanish speaking Texans! God bless.

Honestly....this is pretty far from the truth. My love for the Owner Rig'N hook, and knowing that other drop shot folks liked it as well, was enough for Carlos to take it to the next level and make one of the best drop shot hooks available today. Believe what you will....carry on.
