"This Week in Bass fishing" Presented by Bass Mafia Tackle
01/30/12
Column by Frank Leone
Chalk another W up for the A-Rig. Last Week's Western Division Everstart
tournament on Lake Shasta (California) was dominated by the industry's
latest and greatest money maker - the A-Rig. Over the next year we will
learn so much more about using this new tool. Unfortunately, we will likely
not learn how the industry's top professionals fish these rigs. Why? Because
the Bassmaster Elite Series has banned any presentation with two or more
lures or baits with hooks. This will effectively kill the A-Rig during Elite
Series events - Or will it? Many of the folks chunking the A-Rig have
figured out that it is the "school of baitfish" that triggers bass to eat the
swimbaits attached to the rigs. Just a prediction, but I bet one - if not many
of the Elite Pro's will figure out "legal" presentations that mimic the strike
inducing qualities of the A-Rig.... Only time will tell..............
Speaking of a "school of baitfish", does anything mimic one better than the
Spindarella? This rig has been
winning tournaments all over the
Natural State. The Spindarella adds
flash to the umbrella rig design. This
flash separates the Spindarella from
the rest of the pack, making it a
must for every serious angler's bag of
tricks. To get a closer look, check
out www.spindarella.com, or see them
in person at Bass Mafia Tackle in
Russellville.
Speaking of Bass Mafia Tackle,
they have got eveything A-rig. From
a rigs, to jig heads, to soft plastic
swimbaits, head down to Bass Mafia Tackle in Russellville to get outfitted
for your next trip to the lake! To see some of their selection and learn a few
tips and pointers about fishing the A-rig, check out this video with Bass
Mafia Tackle Pro-staffer, Robbie Chavers. Click Here to view the video.
