Secret Weapon’s patented Recoil Rig is not a lure; it’s a new rig and technique that can be used to make any soft plastic lure more active and more effective. The heart of this rig is Secret Weapon’s patented SpecTastic™ material – an elastic core with an outer sheath of strong Spectra® fiber. Thin and pliable enough to stretch three times its original length yet strong enough to cast or flip heavy weights without breaking, this rig makes soft plastic lures follow each subtle motion of the rod tip in every direction. And it can do this while remaining in one place – making it ideal for targeting bedding fish, those hanging tight to docks and other cover, or heavily pressured fish that need a little extra coaxing to open up and say “Ah!”
When attached between a lure and weight drop shot style, the Recoil Rig gives new life to any soft plastic bait – worms, minnows, craws, grubs, you name it. No special hooks or knots are needed, and plastics can be rigged weedless for heavy cover. It goes beyond the popular technique of drop shotting by producing life like action in every direction instead of just up and down. The Secret Weapon Recoil Rig can also be used to great effect when conditions call for Texas or Carolina-rigged plastics. The 15-lb. test shock cord allows the sinker to be dragged across the bottom, yet you can stop and work the lure in place when you see fish or get near likely ambush points. Unlike traditional rigs – where working the lure means pulling it away from fish-holding structure – the Secret Weapon Recoil Rig keeps the action right in the strike zone. Fish aren’t used to seeing a bait move this way – unless it’s real and alive – and that gives you a competitive edge.
These rigs stand up to hours of hard use and can be used repeatedly. According to Bassmaster Elite Series angler Randy Howell, “I used to say the Recoil Rig is like a drop shot on steroids, but it’s more than that. It’s the first thing to come along in quite some time that improves the way we can make fish bite.” Each Secret Weapon Recoil Rig Teardrop Field Kit includes 20 five-inch SpecTastic shock cords, six 1/2-ounce teardrop-shaped sinkers with Line-lock swivels for fast attachment, six Line-lock swivels for attaching the rig to your fishing line, and a special set of instructions to help anglers get the most out their new “secret weapon.” The entire kit retails for just $9.99.
Deadly for bass, the Secret Weapon Recoil Rig can also be used with soft plastic lures of all sizes to target any freshwater or inshore saltwater game fish.
