Owner’s Ultrahead Shaky Type™ and Twistlock ™

The Shaky Head features Owner's TwistLOCK™ “Centering-Pin-Spring” (CPS - Patent Pending) molded into the lead. Small diameter finesse baits can be “permanently” secured by inserting the pin in the center of the nose of the soft plastic, which can then be twisted (screwed) onto the TwistLOCK™ coil spring to rig perfectly everytime! Ideal for weedless-style Texas-rigging, and on the bottom, contoured jig head “rocks” forward to present baits in a tantilizing nose-down position. Round bend, light wire hook has a 45-degree cross eye, Super Needle Point and a black chrome finish.

Owner’s weighted Twistlock™ hook employs the same hook as the 5132 Twistlock™, but also features a non-movable weight attached to the shank.

Designed for both fresh and saltwater fishing. The hook’s added weight helps to sink or “swim” the bait into the strike zone. With its Twistlock™ “Centering-Pin-Spring” (CPS – patent pending), baits can be “permanently” secured by inserting the pin in the center of a soft plastic, which can then be screwed on the Twistlock™ coil spring to rig perfectly everytime!

This is ideal for weedless style fishing without having to add a separate weight. It’s also great for skipping or pitching into deep cover. The “open” gap allows for more positive hook sets. Features include a 30-degree eye-bend, XXX-strong forged shank, Super Needle Point and black chrome finish.

Cover Your Bass introduces "The Bassroom" the complete portable privacy system that allows you to spend more time on the water fishing by eliminating those inconvenient moments.

Cover Your Bass is the culmination of research and development from innovators Matt and Kirk Smith, a father/son team of fishermen from Texas, who have created the ultimate portable bathroom for your fishing boat.

Aptly named "The Bassroom" this ingenious product fills the need for a portable bathroom system in a market that has been overlooked and neglected for years. With privacy concerns and today's current "eco-friendly" movements, the Bassroom virtually eliminates the possibility of over-exposure from your boat while providing an environmentally safe alternative to lengthy trips back to the loading dock.

"We've created this product to fill a void that currently exists in today's fishing arena" said Matt Smith, owner and creator of The Bassroom. "In today's world you never know who has a camera or video phone and would enjoy the 10 minutes of fame by posting a video of you "caught in the act" on YouTube or similar social network websites. The price, privacy, and function of The Bassroom provides security and comfort for much less than the cost of embarrassment or possible legal fees for over-exposure while on the lake." says Smith.

The entire Bassroom system is stored in a handy transportation bag that can easily be tucked away in your boat until needed. With a total setup time of approximately a minute, you can quickly construct your Bassroom in times of an emergency and leave the unit assembled while you continue fishing or simply fold down and store.

Although created specifically with fishing in mind, the Bassroom is gaining popularity with hikers and campers who find the ease of transport and privacy a welcome addition to their trips.

"The feedback we have received from customers has shown a wide demographic range from young adventurers to Pro Anglers. The Bassroom is great for privacy, shade and rain shield for the entire family, including pets." says Smith.

The Bassroom system itself consists of 190T polyester material with access doors on both the front and back equipped with over-sized zippers for easy handling. The polyester is waterproof and flame-proof to assure safety and comfort. The waste disposal bags contained in the full Bassroom system are convenient zip-up bags constructed of a sturdy 2 mil plastic material which effectively and safely handle the waste storage and transporting.

Currently priced at $119.95 plus $10.00 shipping U.S. for the entire system, the Bassroom will provide years of service with proper handling and storage. Visit www.coveryourbass.com
