Lure Identification

I believe this mini finesse style umbrella rig came out maybe 7-10 years ago. NOTE that it has only ONE wire to accommodate a hook (it’s a Minnesota thing lol). 
 

The rig measures only 6 inches long, and came with 2 options - willow blades or dummy rigs. 
 

I thought it was a Yum product, but can’t find it. Maybe discontinued. Would be too bad - with a Scrounger head on the back it did serious damage back in the day.

Looks like a slightly modified Yumbrella Ultralight rig, which measures just 6.5”. Even if not, I’d think you could easily adapt it to be what you’re holding. Still sold.

FYI it worked fairly well on Lake Cooley the other day until I got the Scrounger head snagged. I somehow got the rig back without the Scrounger… and decided I better order another umbrella before I lose it entirely the next time 👍

Looking at the head design I would say Yumbrella Ultralite Rig.

Haven’t caught a single bass on an U-rig since I moved here - lol - but they’ll follow it. One of several bites I’m still trying to figure out 🤔

I agree, I think the large reservoirs like Hartwell and Jocassee the big rigs probably work.  But the only thing I found here in the smaller puddles are the mini finesse types.

I’ll try modifying one of my existing rigs into a mini version to play with

Yes - The Booyah Bait Company Boo "Alpine Rig."  I see it now, good call. Although looks discontinued everywhere except a few on eBay.  May pick some up, but good catch Deleted Account!

That head reminds me of the heads booyah baits use. Not sure if that’s correct, just throwing it out there.
