Finally got this up on the site! Got soft plastics and jig heads! There are already 5 on the streets! Thanks Al and Celebrity Customer Nick F!!!!
Ummmm Please stay tuned for some lame music from YouTube on this video! No more INXS on videos??? WOW
Make sure ya'll check the wire gauge on these rigs B4 ya buy! I've seen some 15g wire and lighter out there that will not handle multiple Hybrids! Ya'll be safe in this BIG WIND!
My buddy had one of these today on hubbard and I was skeptical but the whites were nailing it all afternoon. I played with it and it was easily castable or just hanging in a rod holder jigging itself off the bottom in the waves. That thing works.
I am surprise SuperDuck doesnt call it the Banjo BaitBall Rig cuz that looks Alabama!! Ruben educated me about this Alabama stuff! Hope u sell a million of them so you can hire a babysiter and retire soon so you can fish more and enjoy more diet milks, Duck!
I would give your customer a spool of 4# test as well with their orders
Going to R/C next week with mine. Hope to have two or more on at one time.

I bet if I were to put 4 flash spoons without hooks on the outside and a line release on the inside and drop this behind the boat on the down-rigger this puppy would definately hunt with my jig running 3 feet behind like it was a lagger. HMMMMM..
Yes Sir Poppie, thats how a Trolling Umbrella is used. No hooks on outside, and drop the middle lure back with a hook! Google Trolling Umbrella! I sold some the 1st year I was open.
Big C I would choose the following. One 5" or 6" Sassy on the middle or center rod with a 3/8oz ScrewTite JH. I would then use the 1/16 oz ScrewTite JH on the Four outside rods with a 3" Disco Mylar Sassy Shad
Tried like HE_L late eve yesterday on RH. Fish went nuts from 6pm-Dark. Don't think its time for BaitBall Rig yet, but we are close. I have some video of it in the water! Pretty cool looking!
Hybrids and whites on R/C was at a fast pace that I didn't have a chance to use the umbrella rig. Next time I will start with it. The largest hybrid was 6 lbs 4oz.

Since the rig has some weight to it...I guess a 8 or 9 foot rod would be perfect for casting from the boat right?

I have seen it work on Lake lewisville but the guys are trolling with it,I ahve seen them hook a double letting it sink to the bottom and working it slowly back to the top through the suspended fish. I have not seen anyone cast and retrieve yet but I know when they are more active water temp above 55 for a while they will get it in 20-25ft of water and on Points!
I am going to get a couple a when it is right see if I can tear on up with two or three Palmetto Bass busting it!
Everyone should get one from Duck and the best Video wins 100.00 worth of Free stuff from MOE! I bet you will get some lurkers out in the open then!
I would use a med heavy to heavy 7-7.5' rod. These rigs are not hard to cast, but a med action rod would be work all day.
Tbarnes is correct, it's not time yet for this rig, but when it warms up it will be game on.
Lots of hooks on the rig, so please be careful. 3 guys on 1 boat chunkN these could get ugly quick! Sorry the video took so long to run. When it warms up a bit, I'll get the GoPro in the pool for some better video.

I first saw this rig on the first page of the Bass Pro Shops add for 15.00 and change and knew right then I had to have one since it would be a winner for trolling for white bass.
Only problem is you snag it you lose the rig and all the lures and that's a big chunk of change but if it works like I know it will, it's a game changer.
I often use a double type speck rig and catch doubles all the time.
I have not seen the BPS Rig, but have seen some others. My rig does not have a painted head. I chose my supplier for the wire gauge on the Rig. 19g is heavy. I have seen some using 15g and 12g. I may run to BPS today and check them out. My bet is BPS is 15g.
The original that started it ALL made from 19g. Yes you may want to avoid trees and snags.
Rig is great. Just use braid line and dont set the hook hard. I have hung up three times last week and got mine back but now i have jinxed myself. Dang Worm.
OK guys went to BassBoxStore to see their Umbrella Rig and of course they are sold out??
The other 3 they carry look like heavy wire, may not be 19g, but very close. I got sticker shock on jig heads??? $ 3.59 for 3??? These are almost as good as ScrewTite JH $ 0.99 / 3 PK
Another brand had a value pack with five 4" swim baits and five jig heads for $ 12.99???? Hope some BassBoys are peeking at this thread?
How about this:
One 20 PK 3" Disco Sassys One 10 PK 4" Naanaa Sassy One 10 PK CocaMoe Slvr/Blk Three 3 PK 1/4oz ScrewTite
Thats all under $ 12.60???? Oh by the way the only umbrella BPS had was $ 25.00??
OK last run on this post. I'm gona mail every1 that purchased my BaitBall rigs some coast-lock swivels. I don't like the ones that are on this rig! Some stopped by the ranch to buy the BaitBall! If ya did, please email me your ship to address and I'll get ya snaps in the mail.
