Does anyone ever use trolling rigs? Praticularly an ubrella rig. Do they work well?

Those umbrella rigs are interesting. I've never tried one. It would seem they would work fine if your not fishing heavy cover but for fishing heavy cover I don't think they would work well at all.
I use the Capps/Coleman rigs for trolling.

I use both Capps & Coleman and crappie rigs for spider rigging.

I use u-rigs on stripers off planer boards or flat lined back. For crappie not so much. They have a heavy weight and sink like an anchor. I use Pursuit rod holders/tracks. I am not up on trolling for crappie, I need to try that out. Now I have trolled a shad rap that will bounce off the tops of submerged trees/brush by tweaking the dive with the depth of the brush, for walleyes. Crappie fishing in NM is not the same deal, or so it seems to me as TX. Just because it is great in TX and sucks in NM. IMHO

All look nice, that is good design. What size of PVC pipe do you use?

Lojack on Fishinman's boat to find the good fishing holes plus a 72 quart ice chest full of Lone Star retrieved from the bottom of the fridge  That is the secret to our success.
