strike king tungsten umbrella rig question...

I got one of these "things" for Christmas - my question is whether the front tie on ring is supposed to spin (it does on the one i received) - seems to me that it should not - just wanted to see if anyone knew before i took it back

Thanks for any help!

Yes it spins.. Strike King Tour Grade Titanium Umbrella Rig is what I use and it spins

Be careful bouncing bigger fish out of the water. The wire will pull out of the head fairly easy.

Or just fail during reeling in a fish over a pound in size.

Great in theory, but junk in reality.

Ha! Sorry to hear that I wasnt the only one this has happened to.

Wow that is good to know. I have never had a Yum A-rig fail me. I will stick with those.

those blow up too, arms rip off etc.

I fish the strike king with the heavier wire and never had a problem and I have boat flipped 5lb+ bass. I used to fish the yum but I always was having to bend the wire back out them they broke.

i guess i got my answer - just dont understand why the tie in would spin - doesnt make much sense - will trade it for some stuff from the dollar box at wally world...

Can promise, you will not pull out the arms on mine and will hold up a lot better than most that are being mentioned here. More than likely at a lot better price also. Build 3 different types of them to to suit your fishing needs.

Those look pretty slick and you put the split ring on them for storage as well.
