Mini A-Rigs Or Crappie A-Rigs

[jhoffman]

Anyone throwing these? I have two ordered, at not much bigger than a spinnerbait I wont need an entirely new setup to throw it. Who are you buying them from, which models?

[Felix77]

I have a few which I bought over the winter.  All YUM

 

1 - Ultralight Tri - The tiny one.  Plan to use small grubs on it and fish it instead of my spinnerbait sometimes.

2 - Flash Mob Jr 5 wire - for swimbaits and grubs too.  When allowed to throw it

3 - Flash Mob Jr 3 wire - Same as #2 but when I can't throw the 5 wire.

I went with the micro-frenzy .... 3 colorado blades... one on each arm independant of the swivel/swimbait

 

Might put 3 sick fish on it, small ones

[jhoffman]

I also said I wouldnt throw an A-rig and that was due to size and needing a big rod, this was a game changer for me

The Picasso School-E Rig is very light. It's a resin head.  With 1/8 oz. swimbait jigs, and 3" baits, it's no issue throwing on MH tackle.

I use the mini frenzy 4 wire with 1/4 heads and 5" swimbaits on a 7'11" duckett MH crankbait rod and I do not lob cast it will go when you whip it out there.

I've fished the small 3 arm YUM, can't buy a fish with it. I even threw it at schooling white bass with 3 2" sassy shads and they wouldn't touch it. Had the same experience with schooling largemouth this summer with it.

I have been making my own after seeing the crappie rigs from BPS. I also used one a friend of mine made. I use the Do-it umbrella rig mold but the smallest head size is 3/8 and then I bend my own 3 wire harness. I use Keitech trailers with darter heads. These rigs and underspins have been killing it on my lake recently. Below is the first one I made, kinda ugly I know.

I catch more bass on this one than crappie.

Yum ultralight tripod.  I used it yesterday for the first time and it was easy to cast on a 7'3 MH Pinnacle Perfecta.  I caught 2 fish on it, but swam it right in front of 2 fish in the 3-4 lb range and they just looked it off.

I was using the mini swimming flukes, initially I was using the little curly tail grubs that come with it, but wanted to see how it would handle a medium sized bait.

I bought some of the Evolve RX Vibra Micro Grub. To try on this rig. I maybe try it this week and let u know if I get something. How do u retrieve it.

I was fishing it pretty shallow and quick.  The grass in the ponds I was fishing comes up to about 4 feet.  So I was launching it as far as I could and reeling it anywhere from the surface down to the grass.  Had a couple misses which is weird because they absolutely smoke it when they hit it.  But managed a couple of dinks.

[swanseabass]

Going to try it and ill take photos if I get something and what rod type do u use.?

[PondBoss]

I have been throwing the rig on a 7'3" Pinnacle Perfecta C-Rig rod.  It's pretty stout for a MH ( I use it for flipping and pitching mostly) But it is the perfect tool for the job here.  I threw it again today while at a couple of different ponds and notta thing, caught a couple of plastics and cranks though.

Whats the best set up for a MH rod? Jig head size and bait size? I wanna keep it within 1oz, with 3/4oz being ideal if I can get a set up that light.

[PondBoss]

I am throwing 1/8oz heads on my tri-pod and it works great.  Still heavy enough to get to any depth, but not so heavy I need a broom stick to throw it on.

I just bought one today. I got those black 1/8oz yum jig heads. Gonna use some lft live magic shad and see how they do. How do I bend this Thing out to where it should be? Can someone post a pic of what it should look like?

[PondBoss]

I've got mine bent out to about 60* angles.  Make it look like a camera tripod, but wide and you're set.  Hope you have better luck on it than I am so far.

[jhoffman]

I dont think swimbaits are enough, it has to have some flash also

[jhoffman]

Well, my micro showed up today and its much smaller than any other three arm. I am telling you no joke this thing is the size of my palm and every bit as small as a spinnerbait. If I put sick fish on it, they will have to be the smallest ones made.

What brand did you get?

[jhoffman]

Im gonna unleash it on my club, no one I know of knows about it. Its gonna be like little john...

If I find the 1/8oz jig heads make the rig too heavy, I'm gonna replace them with 3/o hooks. The weight of the head on the ultra light and the 3in magic shad I have on it should be enough weight.
