Said they were made from Spectra fiber, the same fiber that is used for Power pro and spiderwire stealth braids, but that seems contradictory because neither of those have any stretch. 

Dug

But It's not,, When I asked Honeywell, the maker of all Spectra fiber, if I could make an elastic out of it, they said it was impossible,, I liked that answer, I called my patent attorney, and said "patent it". I knew something Honeywell didn't, the out side braid does not stretch in elastic, it's the rubber on the inside, the outside braid is a loose braid, that draws tight when the rubber stretches, limiting the stretch of the inner rubber, stopping it before the rubber breaks.

These "are" made with Spectra, and because it is the only elastic made that way, and requires special runs to be manufactured, it cost me a fortune

I understand.  Like a chinese finger torture.  The braid has room to lengthen, but doesn't expand, but the elastic on the inside does.

1 more question for you.  Which Kit would you recomment the most?  I fish a lot of rip rap.  I am looking to order one of the $20.00 kits.

The one question I had, was why was it introduced by mojo, then they dropped out??  I will probably be purchasing a kit first thing tomorrow btw.  It's a great lookin rig!

Please don't make me go into the details,, let's just say "I" decided it was not going to work out

Get the Long Pole kits, those "reusable" lock swivels go into any slip weight, you bend the pole to put a spring resistance inside the weight, the swivel slips out of the weight before the material or you line breaks,, you just slip on another "cheap" weight. Anytime your fishing something in the rocks, your going to snag,, even that Rock Hopper Weight I invented for Mojo,, although it does come through better than any other weight

I almost regretted asking that after it was posted and now I do.  I apologize.

Thanks   Long pole kit ordered!

standout glad to have you here. i am guessing you own the company. your hooks are great and i cant wait to try out the wiggle rig. doug

I sure didn't want to own a company,, but things kinda forced me into one,, I invent,, that's all I want to do, not to run some company. The StandOut hooks, I invented them, but TTI makes and sells them. I licensed the hook to them.

Well this is the 2nd time other companies have messed up the Wiggle rig, or done other things that voided their agreements. I decided it was just too good of a rig, to let bad things keep happening to.  I may fail with this, but not because it does not work better than any other soft plastic rig ever used, or even dreamed of.

Let me tell everyone, this rig does "nothing" to your lures, it "allows" you to do nearly anything with them.  It takes practice to get where you can catch any fish, any time. You still have to choose lures, and colors, and most importantly,, you must fish, where there are fish

It's going to be tough for me, it's like starting from scratch 5 years ago.

My order was just placed for the long pole. Just wondering how the owner of the company found out we were talking about his product. Sure did appreciate the free offer.

Now about how I am going to make my own Ranger Bass Boat. ;)

Actually a member here, placed an order and told me, y'all were talking about the rig, and gave me the link, I really just came over to see what was going on, then I saw a couple of major questions that needed to be answered, so I chimed in, to set the record straight .

standout, it sounds like you are certainly starting your business the right way (which may not be what you want to hear since you really don't want a business but anyway).... The kind of caring and customer service to come here and basically just check out a discussion about your lures is top notch, then to actually get involved in the discussion and help it along, well that's just great. Thanks for that!

And thanks for becoming a part of UB! Hopefully, you'll take a bit of time to look around here and see the place, and even stay awhile! We're always looking for new members and perspectives on fishing, and I suspect you would not only be a great benefit to our current members, but you might be able to use some of our members for some R&D if you choose...

Again,

THANKS STANDOUT!!!!! ~c~ ~c~ ~c~ ~c~ ~c~ ~c~ ~c~

Again,


Hay I never thought of a group like this for R&D,, That's not a bad idea, I have always done most of my testing, and I'm a lot tougher on a new product than any fisherman would be,  but you know maybe some guys could see something I can't.

Let me tell you what I look for in the R&D stage of designing tackle, I want to know everything that's "WRONG" with it, anytime I ask for an evaluation on a new product, (one that is in the development stage), The people are "only" allowed to tell me what's wrong with it,, they are not allowed to tell me what they like. Then I either design around the flaws, or weigh the benefits against the flaws, if they can't be designed away,, if the benefits are not 10 times greater than the flaws,, I chunk the whole thing , and never look back.

I have 27 other terminal tackle inventions on my computer, and built into proto types, SpecTastic Tackle is going to be bringing some of these out, as the money starts coming in. I'm going to need a lot of tackle "testers"

WHOA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This rig only replaces, drop shotting, Carolina rigging, and Texas Rigging, and of course it does some things NO other type lure or rig can do, like fishing a 2 foot area behind a log jam, where that hog just busted something.  Of course Slapping is another "new" technique that can be done with it.

                                                                 BUT !!!!!!

IT DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE FISH ARE SUSPENDED . You still need your crank baits, Spinner, and buss baits

You bet you can win with it, but only if you can "fish it" where those bass big enough to win are.

This rig is not MAGIC , you can't just tie it on and win out the block (although I have reports of many tournament guys doing just that). You still must have skills finding those fish, and the longer you use this rig, the better you get with your presentations. When sight fishing (or I know for a fact a bass is there) His Butt is MINE, I have not seen a bass, I have not caught, in over 3 years, but i have thousands of hours practice

Practice, practice , practice, and a swimming pool won't work for that , the weight will slide on that slick bottom.

The lure's action,,  is in your hands now.

Little trick for ZERO visibility, or darn near.

Hold tension on the line, and quiver your hand, you will put a vibration on that lure a bass can feel on his lateral lines from 30 feet away, I don't even want to tell you what a rattle will do on this rig,, that would be cheating :-)

Standout and I have "Known" each other for years via the internet.  I had the pleasure of meeting him at the BMC in Birmingham this spring and I've been playing with the wiggle rigs since he sent them to me. 

I must admit that they work great and will trigger strikes when other rigging methods don't.

I won't say that you can throw away everything else in the tackle box, but it does seem to work when other methods won't.  If you need to keep the lure in the fish's face, this does it like no other product.

Ok guys here are the facts,, this will hurt my bottom line, but my bottom line is not what is important, people catching the most fish is.

The StandOut hook """""is not"""".the best hook for this rig

The StandOut is awesome for drop shotting, but you get a better action on the Wiggle rig with standard hooks, and they are much easier to rig weedless.
