The reason I asked is...Yesterday afternoon I was on u-tube clancing through the old BassMaster vids. It was a video of a tournament at Elephant Butte NM where some angler (Hoy, Hoyt, I disremember) and Seiji Kato (Original maker of Lucky Craft lures) where paired together. Kato gave his proto-type pointer after day two to Hoy(?) as well as set him up with what looked to be a short drop-shot and it was one of those things where it was suggested that Kato came up with it. Kato pretty much called it (translated) an "when all else fails rig", or something close to that, but like JigMan I thought the dropshot rig was used way back in the early sixties, much like the C-rig.
Just asking to see if anyone could confirm a start time frame on that rig, or shoulkd I say technique.
