Go small or go home

Hope the tackle shops send you the commission check for all that new tackle sales you just created. Great tip Pat it sure makes sense. Have you tried the umbrella rigs this time of year.  I expect they may be good with this pattern. Good luck, wish I could join you but the hay should be ready to bale Tuesday so I have to answer that call. Look forward to your report. Later Jeff

After hearing about the Alabama or Umbrella rigs I started making some.  I and a couple of other guys have caught a few fish on them, but they just don't seem to have the appeal in Utah as on some waters in the midwest and south.  Have caught some walleyes in Utah Lake on them but only one small wiper from Willard.  Oh yeah, and a couple of cats.  But they are not a good standard.  They eat anything.  I have always done better with a single or tandem rig setup...with two lures...one following the other.

Here is a pic of some of the 3 wire U-rigs I have made.
