If you're like me then you really don't have thousands of dollars to spend on fishing lures, and you REALLY don't have thousands of dollars to spend on fishing lures that break. I learned growing up to appreciate what you have, to work hard, and to be dependable. I was also raised to expect the same. I found at a young age that I could buy a cheap pair of boots, but they would wear out after 6 months and I would need to buy another pair. After doing the math it became pretty clear that 5 pairs of cheap boots cost a lot more than 1 pair of quality boots. Translation:
Buy Quality=Reward, Saving $$$
This is EXACTLY what I learned about the Yellow Hammer Rig the first time I spoke with team who developed it. They looked at the other Umbrella Rigs on the market that were made with cheap components, mass produced, and sold for $7 and realized right away "We can do better", and that's EXACTLY what they've done.
The Yellow Hammer Rig is built to withstand the harshest conditions imaginable. We can all agree that the odds of any of us ever throwing an umbrella rig with 5 swimbaits attached and actually hooking 5 bass that each weighed in excess of 5 pounds is highly unlikely. But highly unlikely is NOT impossible. And if your components are, let's just say for example, made of 5 lb leaders, are they going to withstand that level of torque over the long haul? Are you really willing to take the chance?
My guess is that if you're a tournament angler, or just a very serious weekend warrior who thrives on bragging rights you're not into taking those kinds of risks. Risks involved in finding fish, sure. But in landing them, never. That's one of the major points that defines a winner from a donator.
Higher quality components, hand made, hand painted, all in the US. Why put your trust in anything else?
