The bass pro journal had a segment on this over the weekend. I was wondering if anyone has tried it yet.

I keep meaning to get some of the tungsten rigs by Owner. I like the idea.

Couldn't you just make a dropshot with a very short leader for the weight and achieve the same result?

I caught a 8.51 on PK with one..She was in 2 ft of water under a floating dock so any thing may have got her..

mine was homemade

I've used it some.
It works ok.
Personally, a texas rig or shakey head or dropshot is way better.

Can just peg a trig for similar action. It gives you the ability to "swim" a soft plastic and provide a different action that possible where the weight on a trig would slide up and down the line.

It has a place and good to provide a different presentation of the bait. Fish it behind somebody throwing a trig and see if it gets more bites.

I really like it with a vibragrub.

I tried it and I had a harder time getting fish hooked up. It is a good looking rig though! It also seems to be more weedless than a T rig, you would think it would be the opposite.

I made mine with tungsten drop shot weights and Gama offset wide gap 4/0 hooks .....two split rings......

I like the fall.........Biffle heads fish different by the way.

Craw of some type is good......Redskeeter showed this to me and I have had some luck with it.

I put a few together. I like the longer dropshot type weight idea. In rocks. Never know.
