Has anyone tried these for Hybrids and sandies? Looks as though it would work well. I caught 3 sandies on 2 hooks last year with Mark Parker and it was a hoot. Can only guess what 4 or 5 would be like.

Tried it on Texoma last week and caught my first fish on it, an over but it is just too much trouble for me.

One white bass for me.

somethign I have done, that works well for catching multiple whites at a time and is simpler and cheaper than an umbrella rig, is to tie three swimbaits (curly tail grubs or cocahoe minnows are my faves) on jigheads about a foot and half or so apart from each other on your main line, in a sort of a daisy chain. troll this rig, and if you pass through a school of whites and/or hybrids every swim bait is likely to get bit. I have even caught a white, hybrid, and lmb all three at same time once. I guess they were all feeding on the same school of shad or something.
doubles and triples are common with this rig...but recommend using a fairly heavy leader, like 20lb or more, as the sharp gill plates can cut the line when multiple fish are hooked.

What i did to make it easier to use is make leaders out of stainless leader material. The leaders don't wrap around each other the way regular fishing line does. I even added coastlock swivels so I can change the baits out with ease. Has worked for me for years.

I saw a guy using one at Hubbard this past weekend, looked like a but whooping to me. I'm sure it will work, just looks kinda like a pain!

$ 15 - $ 30 seems to be a bit spendy 2 me??

Wait another 30 days and some1, ( not me ) will have these for under $ 9.00

Looks like a cumbersome mess to cast 2 me?

Good luck!

I would like to see a pic of this rig, sounds interesting.

I've trolled them with downriggers before, but never tried casting them.

its best used when casting into strong head wind. just picture it in your head.

I have 2 or 3 of them under some dust somewhere...not a big fan of them.

Im thinking about giving one of these a try:

I think it can be pretty successful but its a pain in the arse to use sometimes. Gets caught up easily on everything. You have to be super careful. I had to cut one on Saturday
