fisherrw Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Does any one use umbrella rigs for smallies? If so what type and what swimbaits?? Thanks. Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted January 21, 2015 Super User Posted January 21, 2015 If the bass are keying on shad, they will eat an umbrella rig. Just tune your presentation to what the fish tell you, just like anything else. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted January 21, 2015 Super User Posted January 21, 2015 I'd be more inclined to shifting to smaller baits like the Kietech 3.5 and 4" swing impacts on a 2/0 to 3/0 1/8-3/16oz head. The smaller heads give them more kick as well. But I don't see why they wouldn't eat one. Quote
fisherrw Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 I wonder if smaller money minnows would work too??? Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted January 21, 2015 Super User Posted January 21, 2015 I don't like the action on the money minnows. Here is a list of what I fish on umbrella rigs Kitech Swing Impacts 3-4" Kitech Shinners 3-4" Lunker City Grubsters 3.25" Big Bite's Shad 3" The Grubsters are a fat body bait with a good kick to it that would give you more action then the money minnow will. I normally mix up a few different styles and let the fish tell me what they want. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted January 21, 2015 Super User Posted January 21, 2015 Actually, I primarily target smallies with a u-rig. Dippers work well on J-Will heads. The Yumbrella rig is an affordable rig that works well. Quote
