Professional bass fishing tournament angler Aaron Martens was relatively early to adopt finesse fishing techniques. He fishes them with tournament-winning results and consistency that has won him 3 angler-of-the-year titles. He believes that the drop shot and rhino head (the shakey head jig head designed by Aaron Martens) are necessary for consistent tournament success. Aaron believes it's important to have both the drop shot and the shakey head tied on nearly all the time. While Aaron is a power fisherman at heart, and he loves to move around and cover water, he also recognizes the importance of slowing down and putting the bait in front of fish that may be a little less willing to bite.
