What are the prim conditions to throw the A-Rig?

Wind helps a lot!

When the fish are deep ....especially keyed in on bait and suspended. It's an amazing lure!

How much does water clarity matter?

Apparently, water clarity doesn't matter too much when you consider the success anglers have had using it on Lewisville and Grapevine this year. Now, I would say it would be a good choice for muddy water, but off-colored is okay and clearer would help.

I have run across certain lakes where it's tough to catch fish on it....and other lakes it seems like a "good" goto bait.

Just keep experimenting!

they liked it at Bridgeport in both clear and stained water. I just focused on rocky points, the dam, and some docks.

I tend to attract the sand bass more than anything with it

Might try bigger baits....

It's almost annoying catching them on that rig....dangerous too! Hooks go flying...and they won't quit spinning!

I've caught fish on it but it's very hit or miss... Just trying to get it narrowed down to when it works best.

I like to throw mine when the jet skiers get thick!

It will work on Rayburn but I have seen it do better in the Late Fall and Early Prespawn.

Haven't thrown one much, but I honestly think it works best on cloudy windy days...if they are chomping on bait like said before...it can work great.
