I'm an all day sucker when it comes to all the [censored] available in the tackle market.
As for white bass, anyone throwing one? Any tips??
They seem good or are they just to catch the fisherman??

Just me...but I just don't understand why anyone would want to catch three, four, whatever white bass at once. It is so easy to get a limit of whites on slabs and with lighter tackle you can enjoy what fight they have. Just my opinion.

I tied one on last year, thinking I was gonna kill the fish!! I mean how could they resist all these lures swimming together? Well I think I caught 1 fish. I even had a school of them surfacing, I threw right in the middle and nothing. I bought 2, lost 1 and I haven't tried it since. They're too expensive to lose!! Maybe it's the operator. Triple s from moes will get it done!

I will have one very soon with Jig Heads to match. U are correct Luv2Fish, A Rigs are expensive. I can fix that  They kill sand bass if ya loadM up with 3" swim baits.

I have one from Moe's that I am saving for Tawakoni. If it works anywhere it should work there. I would love to hang 2 Hybrids on at the same time!!!

I keep telling myself that I'll try trolling A-rigs on the downriggers in the middle of summer when the fish are holding deeper, but then I think of how expensive it would be to lose them ...

Ive done very well on Lewisville using them, the key is matching the hatch. Right now we use 1 1/2"-2' jigs on the rig. Sandbass are feeding on the new hatchlings. My brother was using one with 3" swimbaits and couldnt get a hit and I was using 2" jigs and getting them 2 at a time.

I caught my first double on the a-rig Saturday at Twok. I didnt realize I had two until I hoisted them in the boat.

I've used them at Texoma on Stripers and killed em on two different trips. I'm heading to Foss Lake in Oklahoma in the morning to try them out on hybrids there. I bought my rigs off eBay and paid about $ 3.00 a piece for them.

I used one for the first time last Friday on Texoma and I am a believer. We caught dandies, stripers, small mouth and large mouth bass. The fish where quality too. I had one rigged with swimming fluke juniors. I will be using it again for sure. fished all day with the same rig and never lost it. Got it hung plenty of times but you just troll over to it and pull it straight up and it came loose every time.
