Steve Carson’s ‘Outdoors’ column: The 10 most influential fishing products of the last 75 years

The Low-Profile Westport River Offers a High Yield of Fish

Located between the down-at-the-heels mill towns of New Bedford and Fall River, the Westport’s blue-ribbon, blue-collar fishery remains comparatively crowd-free.

Dives-To Flat Sure Set

Dives-To Flat Sure Set
This series of lures designed with a flat profile, providing maximum flash that attracts otherwise disinterested fish, is the perfect candidate for the VMC Sure Set hook. The single accentuated arm converts near misses and short strikes into catches. The in-line design allows the front hook to hang down, while the back hook is positioned in the scorpion upright position. To ensure true tracking, only an in-line hook of this size could be used. Anything else would inhibit the world-renowned Rapala wounded-minnow action. Hand-tuned and tank-tested, these lures will run straight and true right out of the box. With the DT action built-in, this series is a natural for both pro and novice alike.
