ICAST 2011 | Eco Pro Unveils Diamond in the Rough
Posted by Jason Sealock on Fri, Jul 15, 2011 @ 05:46 PM
We like the stuff ECO Pro has been releasing over the course of the last 12 months. At the ICAST show they introduced their new Wacky Rig weight and the new Diamond Peg.
The Diamond Peg is a truly great soft bait keeper. Now you can use your favorite plastic bait, your favorite hook and not have to worry with re-rigging and straightening your bait after every bite, or every time you bump it into something. The unique peg locks it in place and never comes in contact with your fishing line. Throw away your other bait keepers and tooth picks. This will do it all.
The Wacky Rig Weight gives you the ability to add a little weight to your wacky rigged soft stick bait presentations. We have several applications where we like to vertically fish a wacky rig like floating docks, concrete walls, standing timber and deep suspended fish. Just a straight wacky rig can make covering the water a very slow and painful process. This adds weight in the middle and keeps that natural wobble on the fall. It also helps lock the plastic on your hook. And there is no worry with the weight getting flung off. If your plastic splits just replace and start again.
The Wacky weights come 3 to a pack and the diamond pegs come in a large pack of four different sizes to fit all sorts of applications and hooks and plastics.
Look for more on these two products very soon. We're taking them testing soon.
