Mini A-Rigs Or Crappie A-Rigs

OKAAAAY!

I was just looking through my plastics, and found some Berkley Realistix in the 3" size. These already come lightly weighted and rigged with hooks, so I took of the 1/8oz jig heads and magic shad. The rig is noticeably lighter, and should really work well on MH gear. Can't wait to try this out.

I picked up one of the YUM Ultralight rigs and some of the 2" Berkley Realistix to try out. I've never thrown an A-rig before. Is it just cast and retrieve or do you guys pause and put little nuances on it like a spinnerbait?

I've never thrown one, so I'm interested in how to fish it as well.

I have just been casting and reeling.  Counting down to depth and trying to keep it at that depth on the way back.  Maybe with some swaying of the rod to change the direction of the school a bit.

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 never seen someone more dedicated to that rig WITHOUT catching a thing on it, than my father in law lol. He uses sassy shads as well with no success.
