What weight heads on an A-Rig?

[William Rossi]

Yum 5 arm Flash mob willow. Would like to fish 15-25' in 45* water. Fish are on or near bottom.

I usually like one weight heavier to keep it from spinning.

Does four 1/8 and one 1/4 sound about right?

What brand heads do you like. All the 1/8 and 1/4 I have are small light wire hooks that will bend too easy

I make my own and use mostly 1/8 ball with 4/0 Gammy hooks.

1/8oz normally

I use 1/4 for the bottom 2 and 1/8 for the other 3. Can't rrmeber right now what brand I'm using

I use 1/8 oz on all 5 arms . We can only use 3 hooks in Missouri so I cut the hooks off the top 2. I've found that balances the rig better than using hitch hikers.

 I always use a hook light enough to bend if the thing get hung up.

No weight on the outside arms. I'm using LFT Live Magic Shad on a 3/0 EWG Offset Worm Hook. The inside arm is rigged with a Johnson Silver Minnow. This has been working for smallmouth, largemouth and stripers.

Same weights for a rig with willow blades like the flash mob? TY

Usually 1/4 oz. sometimes 3/8ths for heavier presentations.
