Drop Shotting Revisited by Brendan Cucinello
What's Your Lure Doing? by Frank Lapinski
Drop Shotting RevisitedEveryone is talking about this great technique called “Drop Shotting”, so I figured why not write an article for the visitors at Bassin’ USA. Basically the drop shot rig allows you to suspend your lure while maintaining contact with the bottom. It’s rigged with the lure tied above the weight allowing you to shake, quiver or dead-stick your lure while keeping it in the strike zone. It can be extremely effective at times and can be used pretty much all year round (depending upon where you live)...

Side Imaging - Humminbird BasicsFirst the Side Imaging does not even compare to the 2D versions of the Lowrance units or even any other units. On the 997SI and the 797 SI units, there are few things you need to look at. With SI units we are looking to the side and these settings are totally different, but here is what we are going to look at on these units.

Sensitivity, Side Imaging Views and Distances, Color of the display. Side Imaging units are very simple once you get used to it, but everyone has a lot of trouble understanding what they are seeing and that makes it very disappointing for some. After you teach yourself what you are seeing the rest just falls into place with a little trial and error.... Read More
