[cool][#0000FF]Sometime before spring fishing I plan to make up some 3-arm prototypes. I have several jig molds that I have already modified to take a wire insert in the top. No problem to slightly enlarge the outlet (hook) groove to hold 3 wires. The Ultra Minnow jigs (below) work well for making big inline spinners and buzzbaits. They should also work well for small A rigs.

I have experimented with fishing them...both trolling and casting. Depending on how many wires and what you put on them there is a lot of drag. You should use stout baitcast gear for heavier models but if you make them up in lighter models...like 3/8 or 1/2 oz...you can cast them with medium spinning gear. I am anticipating that they will be great for bass, walleyes and other species...even trout, if you use the right combo of hardware and plastics.
So far, I have not really rigged them up with my favorite "food groups" of lures. I've been waiting for the new regulations to legally put some 3-lure rigs in front of some fishies. I am sure that at least the white bass will approve.
And yes, I do have plans for "blinging up" the plain rigs with additional beads and mini blades. I really believe in that stuff for the species around here.
