Looks awesome. This looks like it would work great on some schooling sandies too.

I have three of these from Ron that I am going to fish on Thursday and will let you know how I do. I did want to let you know that I can comment on the quality of them and these are the best rigs as far as wire and components that is out there IMHO.

Last Wednesday night, I took one of the rigs and put in a bucket of water to see if they would rust or weaken the wires. I have been folding the rigs each night and have not had a wire break yet and have not seen any rust yet. Sunday I added salt to the water and last night they looked the same as the new ones. I flexed and folded the wires once again and no discernible weakening of the wires was observed.

The reason I am doing this water and bend tests is that I purchased some competitor's A-Rigs from the whites section and fished them one weekend, dried them, folded them up, put them in a separate tackle box but when I went to use them the next weekend, the wires were breaking off because the wire was rusting out. I have seen and heard that other's rigs will break after a few uses but these RonRigs should last a long time due to the wires he used.

I will bring in the pictures I took and will post them up tomorrow.

Thanks Ron,
I have 3 more for you to play with, based on your recommendations and of others.
This wire is the best i have ever seen, strong, and as you have experienced, they won't rust!

www.nekidtackle.com is where to get them!

Here are the pictures I took from the above post/testing I had done.







As you can see, there is no rust anywhere on them and I do not feel like they lost any strength or are going to break with all the soaking and bending I had done.

They look good as well all baited out.







I did fish them on Thursday along some bridge columns but the crappie fishing on Lewisville has been pretty bleak. They track well and I see them catching a lot of crappie once it gets 'ON'.
