Super User Micro Posted May 9, 2011 Super User Posted May 9, 2011 Red, I fish the Space Monkey rigged on an Owner 4/0 twist lock hook with 1/8 oz weight. This rig has produced more fish for me in the last few years than any other bait I've used. It's my absolute go-to bait and I always have at least one rigged, usually two, rigged in my boat at any given time. The bait will flip and pitch very well. The weight hook makes the bait sink horizontal to the bottom which I like very much. The 1/8 makes it sink fairly slowly, but the arms and legs flap nonetheless. You can usually work the weight up and down the hook shaft to make it sink at some desired angle. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted May 9, 2011 Super User Posted May 9, 2011 I just started fishing the Monkey rigged that way this year. It's been killer on brown fish, which was completely unexpected. Quote
Red Posted May 10, 2011 Author Posted May 10, 2011 As of now it is looking like the wind is going to be down this weekend. I haven't been able to give them much of a chance due to high winds, I will be flippin a Rage Craw, and now, a Space Monkey as well. Looking forward to it! Quote
