Looking good Steve! I’m itching for fishing. I think in about a month I’ll try it out for the first time in 2012!

Looking good, Steve. Can’t wait for your reports this spring when you get to test it out

Tex, yes, I will be casting it. I tested the first one on a MH rod with 16lb line and I was able to cast it 30~40 feet with ease. With a heavy action rod and braided line I should be able to cast it a good distance. I’m in the middle of making a couple of 3 wire finesse a-rigs that should should be light enough to cast on a MH rod.
This rig will be for mainly open water targetting bass feeding on baitfish.

Steve,

I know I asked this before but are you planning on casting that rig or using it while trolling? It just seems like something hard to cast and worst running it through bushes or cover. It looks like you could use it in open water.

Nomad,

I wish it was in the 60′s here. It’s been down right cold as of right now just looked at the temp here at the Hump. -3.4 degrees F. below zero. Hell just to puff a cigarette you freeze. It’s supposed to warm up a little this weekend 30′s. 60′s, give me some 40′s or 50′s and I’m at the river. Mail some of that heat here.LOL. Sorry to here your at work. I’m at work also start at 0600 everyday. Nomad I think if the weather stays warm there the rest of the winter the bass will be on the beds early this year. My mom lives in the southern part of IL. she’s loving this weather. Are you going to try out that A-rig this year? Making some up to see if it’s worth all the talk. later

Hope it warms up soon for Andong as this weather has been the coldest I have felt in a long time. This makes Colorado feel like a Carribean state.

Steve,

Good job on the rig. I basically have the same bend in the area where the swivel goes so you can change out sizes. Mine made with welding rod stainless .035. The head; I’m trying a few things out. Made different lengths. I’m going to get with Alan and make some lead heads for them and try some light tungsten weights drilled out with swivel installed or a lead swivel weight drilled out and use some jb weld to epoxy the front arms in(arms already tigged together). I read about a person using a wisk (egg beatter) and cutting it up and making one. People also used the unbrella rig for stripers, and cut it down. Good job anyway Bass up at Andong shortly.
