[QUOTE=ThrowingTimber;529619]rocks are'nt usually man made or the by-product of yo yoing. [QUOTE]


Actually, using the term "Yo-Yo" is a bit too general. There are many that employ the basic technique and rig the baits with more "digestable" materials.

Also, rocks are probably used more than lead these days.

I always find it odd that "Yo-Yo" is a bad thing while at the same time there is no "controversy" busting off a six ounce jig in the gullet of a fish whether from shore in the canal or on the end of a string of wire. I would bet a lot of money that far and away more bass are killed by broken off jigs stuck in their throat and gills then are killed by YoYo rigs.

Now do not get me wrong, I think we should all do what we can to minimize damage to the fish we catch, however I think a little consistancy is in order also.
