Budget Bama Rigging - 03/07/21 04:52 AM
Was in a situation today where I feel like an umbrella rig would have paid off well but in the past it seems it’s about the quickest way to lose $25 so I’m curious about some budget options.
Seems like the Yum Flash Mob JR is considered by most a reliable budget option. But at $14 plus jig heads plus boot tail swim baits easily $30+.
Does anyone throw any of the various Amazon options that at $4-7 each? Is there a decent jig head available?
Would using a straight shank flipping hook with keep be a viable option and just run the hook exposed? Would the rig run alright with just the umbrella rig having a weight and the swimbaits fished weightless?
Not needing to throw in deep water 5-12’ max.
