Mr. Martens during his fishing career used & brought back-to-life several obscure lures from the 1970's including " scroungers " & " horsey - heads " ( underspins ) both of which became integral parts of most serious bass anglers arsenal both professional & recreational . ? He is best known for his prowess with & reliance on the drop - shot technique in which he had a strong hand in popularizing .
