Was on a big school of bass....catching one after another on a KVD 1.5. As I'm reeling in the fish there were several still chasing and trying to steal the lure from the one I had on the line. I remembered then that I had an A-rig....what a time to try it out. Tied her on real quick and started throwing it........scared the whole damn school away!
That's it

I had a similar experience on Falcon last Wednesday. I even tried trolling the darn thing. I'm going to give it one more try next week and if I have the same thing happen, someone is going to find 2 rigs laying on the ramp for some other fool to try, Free, (I don't throw trash in the lake). My first experience is that they catch more fishermen than fish.
Like me for what I am, or don't like me at all.

Send me all you want. I have caught so many fish on it. Not just fall fish. Caught one near 10 lbs on Sam a few weeks ago. Had 20 pounds on 15 minutes with 3 fish. Of course on tournament day they were no where to be found.

I tried my Yum-rig today also with no success. I had the 5 same exact baits on, and they were never running the same way. One of the tails would be wrapped around the hook, or a swimbait would be looped over another it seemed like every cast.
Anyone else have this problem with getting them all to run and look right? Any suggestions?

You also need to remember most of our lakes are dirty as $&#%. A rig is still a swim bait. And with many of our fish trying to move up this is probably the worst time to use it. I'm ready to check it out around shad schools this summer.

Someone should try it with ratlle traps on it, or some crankbaits.

My buddy fished one on friday, i spent so much time laughing at him and caught like 5 fish to his 0!!! Sounded like a car battery hitting the water everytime he cast, and the heavy rig backlashing an wearing his arm out!!! Ha ha, that was some funny stuff right there!!!

I've got a Yum version as well and was thinking next time I throw it I might put a chatter bait in the center just to mix it up a little.
I am going to buy one just to find out for myself. Half y'all lie like hell and the other half are full of chit. www.anglersprotackle.com/store, A great locally owned business www.bcfw.org Bass Club of Fort Worth
