FYI ~ In all future correspondence here and until further notice I will be referring to the bait pictured below as The Wiggle Wagon. That is all . . . . A-Jay

That's called an E L E C T R I C A L E X T E N T I O N C O R D . In this case it's how I am able to use the electrical current in the garage to transfer electricity to the battery charger to recharge my starter and trolling motor batteries in my boat. It's very helpful. Hope that helps you. A-Jay

It might still leak but it will look pretty dang good while it does it. Good Luck A-Jay

Finished 2024 off with Workout Day 4. Despite a number of distractions and personal challenges, I completed 156 workouts this year. Tried my best to make every one count. Moving forward to next year, since this is going well, the only deal I plan on changing, is to get a little leaner towards April & May. This thread just went over 83K views, pretty wild. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

I think it was 11 something. A-Jay

I'd need to add two brown bass together to have a locally caught applicant worthy of this thread. However, if international accomplishments are allowed, Here's some of mine . . . A-Jay

Welcome to the club Gumpy . . . I'm not as nimble as I once was, but I'm not exactly feeble either. I like my steps and am glad I have them. I'm betting you will too. Don't forget, measure twice, cut/mount once. Good Luck A-Jay

Air temps have been well above freezing for 4 days and nights in a row. Big snow we had is dwindling quickly. Add in off and on rain and we've got a bit of a north woods mess. A little to early for frozen mud season but we're getting close. Despite that deal, there's still a pretty good vibe up in here. 103 days ~ A-Jay

Dude ! A-Jay

I'll wear gloves for a long cold morning or late afternoon run up/down Lake Menderchuck. However I HATE wearing anything besides 'sun gloves' (which I will wear just to take the chill off.) But any & all types of 'winter' gloves I've tried (and I've tried them all) are just to bulky and seriously detract from my ability to fish effectively. At this point (and after a couple of decades on the north Atlantic in the winter) I can tolerate the cold OK. Times when I can't, my guides & reel are usually freezing up. At that point I call it a day. 🥶 A-Jay

Well, I detailed, polished & waxed the rig before I put into hibernation. Reels are already cleaned, lubed & respooled. Organization is a never ending and on going process. But I am still prepping a bunch of reels for re-sale after the new year. A-Jay

Completed Workout Day 3. Felt like I had a little extra in the tank for this one so I tried to take advantage of it. #borninfiftynine A-Jay

Just a total guess but I'm picking windshield seal. Good Luck A-Jay

Warm and rain up here to. Snow not gone yet but I expect it to be before the cold comes back. Feel like late March not late December. A-Jay

I fish that bait and IMO, as far as castability is concerned, it doesn't seem any better or worse than any other A-Rigs I've fished. Again, I believe the way the rig is casted, determines how it eventually lands & runs. Additionally what weight heads are used and where they are positioned on the rig can be a factor. I usually use all 1/8 oz heads but if I am going up in weight the heavier baits are always positioned on the bottom arms of the rig to act like a rudder. I looked for some video of me casting an A-Rig and I found this from a few years back. It's actually a day where a spinnerbait produced, but I started the day with the A-Rig. This was a SK short arm bait I no longer fish because the brown bass were tearing the arms off it during the fight. Here a a couple of casts . . . I am and still use a 7'6" MH Mod Fast Graphite stick and 15-17 lb FC. https://youtu.be/Z95g3H4qmp0?feature=shared&t=41 btw- in the video, if you slow down the playback speed, you'll be able to see the rod load a little better. A-Jay

X2 ~ Nailed It. I came here to make this exact comment. Letting the rod load on the cast helps deliver the A-Rig smoothly. It's like casting a chandelier regardless, but if it's tumbling wildly mid cast, there's a good chance it will foul up on the landing. Which will totally FUBAR that cast. All we can do at that point is reel it in, fix it, and try again. A-Jay

Me too @J Francho - It's what initially drew me to check them out in the first place. That and they were essentially giving them away at the time. A-Jay Yes and Yes . . My sticks are 'rated' for 1/2 to I think 1 1/2 oz. But with 15 FC I throw 3/8 Wiggle Wagons with a Zako Trailer no problem. Also I rarely fish spinnerbaits less than 1/2 oz and most are pushing 3/4 and more. A-Jay https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/profile/13860-a-jay/?status=6989&type=status
