So I figured I’ll play. Lots of room to mess around here. Love to hear who’s already tried this. 

Might not work we’ll see

Micro a rig? Interesting idea, 

[detroit1]

Give it a test run and let us know how it ran, don't care if you caught anything..

Seems like the wire would get bent up really fast if they were eating the swimbait "arm", instead of the main bait.

I don't know much about spinnerbaits, but if it was me I'd probably throw a small teaser bait up top on a screwlock instead of the hook.

 

Cool presentation, though. Definitely interested to hear your results, @Derek1.

So similar to a LiveTarget Baitball then?

That’s pretty much what I was thinking 

They get pretty bent up on the main bait sometimes

No reason it wouldn't work, but will it add anything? I doubt it, I'd prefer to do the "head" at the tie, and have the arms be symmetrical, either both with a blade, or both without. Also having an exposed hook on one, and not on the other is something I wouldn't do, face the hook inward (down) and rig it the same as the lower one.

That’s interesting facing the other hook down. If I put it up it will definitely catch a lot of crap. I’ll probably use it once it will get wrecked and I’ll move on.

Nothing to loose by trying, easy enough to make that into a standard spinnerbait, or make a standard spinnerbait into something like it.

Probably not a bait I will buy... But I'll say this. If that top weedless rigged bait isn't rigged perfectly straight, this entire thing probably will not run well at all.

That's what I was thinking.  And those aren't good.

They might have accidentally made a couple decent lures at some point.

I think it would work, but I would find the heaviest wire spinnerbait I had to make it. Definitely wouldn't try it on a War Eagle. What might be interesting on the top bait is also adding a plastic punch hub somehow to include a 2nd skirt.

Yeah that was what I thought of when I saw the picture in the OP. It's interesting, but in general I'm not a fan of Livetarget so I haven't tried it.

[AlabamaSpothunter]

If you talk to folks who have great success with A-rigs/Umbrella rigs, they'll tell you almost never does the top bait get hit.   It's the furthest back, and bottom rigs that get hookups.  

 

To this point, adding a hooked bait instead of just standard spinner blades serves no real purpose, and I can see it adding some headaches verses a traditional spinnerblade.

 

As mentioned, live target makes something similar that's almost caught me in the fishing asile at Academy, and then I did the calculus on it.   The reason an A rig works is because of it's "spread" and size of that "spread".    You can have numerous hooked baits on the bottom.  This bait doesn't have a profile or signature larger than a traditional spinnerbait that mimics 2-3 small baitfish, and doesn't allow you to add more actual baited hooks where they'd be in the strike zone.

The small willow blade on a clevis can’t spin, it rotates around the wire arm and can not rotate forward in water. For the willow blade to spin it must be on a swivel, this is a common misconception anglers have with spinner baits.

Well, it swims pretty good. Would definitely be better with some smaller up top. I knew the bade wasn’t gonna spin. It flutters like I thought it would. Threw it for a bit today. Caught a couple of these.
