I generally throw smaller swim baits to match the hatch in my highland res but i still throw them on an ark mag medium 7'4" casting rod. For the bigger rigs i go to my dobybs 806 SB rod. A komodo ss 200 on my ark rod and a lexa tws 300 on my dobyns.
Very detailed BILLY!!!!! Just what I needed. Have not used the A RIG but just a couple times. One reason is I don’ t have a fish finder as such, but, I will be getting one soon. My depth finder is very old and about the only thing I can get out of it is the depth and water temp. Having said that, I know of a few places from memory so I can give those a try. Thanks for your very in depth instructions!!!!
You’re right. I’m new to live sonar and was shocked at how quickly the A-rig climbs. It’s hard to describe how slow you have to reel to keep it in the same plane. I’m barely reeling at all.
Thanks a bunch Billy for these great A-rig tips. My biggest holdup on swinging an A-rig at ANY cover and losing the rig on the 1st cast to it. Re-rigging an A-rig is not like tying on another spinnerbait!
Easy to lose $50 on an A rig. That's with mid range components and jig heads. I lost a flex rig with Matt Allen jig heads on it with armor shad on top and easy shiners on the rest. Maybe they were divine swim baits from 6th sense. Either way, It hurt. And I've lost half a dozen. Still do fun to fish.
Billy awesome video and awesome tip. Love the weed less tip and why you use the brand a rig you do may you continue to be blessed and hope to run into you sometime on the lake or at lake fork marina. Take care
So I should not reallyTalk about the scrounger or the red phenomenon happening in the winter time on lake fork up in Wolf Creek probably love your content and the simplicity of being real🎣💪 come fish with me on lake Guntersville fished fork 7yrs PB is from fork 14.4
Can't answer for Billy but im a huge fan of big swimbaits and that is a swimbait set up he was holding. People that don't know about big bait fishing sometimes think of tiny soft paddle tails as swimbaits, in theory they are swimbaits but in this case we are talking about baits 7-12" and 4-10ozs. Usually custom garage built baits. Hope that helps you.
Thank you for your tips I really enjoyed your video and I especially appreciated your emotional and sincere Love of God's creation that you are blessed to be in the middle of period I really want to fish lake Fort or Rayburn.A lot of the local pros speak highly of both lakes thank you
Isn’t it funny that they can ban a specific lure that works but, Live sonar is okay?? I’m totally cool with both methods of catching fish, what are your thoughts Billy??
Good stuff Billy. I used to smash fish with A-rig but then it got harder when everyone was throwing them. When I was throwing it a lot I used 65lb braid. Probably need to switch over now. What type and size line are you throwing the weedless and open hook on? Thanks for all the great vids. Keep them on water videos rolling out.
You’re the best dude. Great “A” rig video.

Good stuff!! Thank you!

Some times I can't keep it slow enough and use my pole to drag it then reel up slack.
like every bait that does this, use a heavier weight, rig your bottom swimbaits with heavier jig heads than the top, or go bladeless if you can.

"FIRK" is Awesome! Wish I was Down there, instead of Snowy Idaho.....Cheers Billy "STAY STRONG"
Great vid. Maybe I missed it, but can you give some insight on your line selection when throwing both standard and weedless umbrella rigs?
Very good a rig advice for sure;;;;;;;;

Excellent. Lead on!!
lets go fish
I just loaded my hog farmer down with 6th sense swim baits and swim baits heads. Think the ones i'm running are the 3/16 though
Yes an Alabama rig
Thanks Billy, as always. What do you use that heavy rod and heavy gear reel combo for other than A-rig?

And some forward sonar
What lb test do you use
What line are you using on the A-rig. It looks like clear mono, or fluorocarbon line. If you are, why do you choose that over braid for your A-rig?
Isn’t it funny that they can ban a specific lure that works but, Live sonar is okay?? I’m totally cool with both methods of catching fish, what are your thoughts Billy??
Yeah I think they way over reacted and the arig should be legal

96%
I almost got the live version of this.
Lol yes sir! Great to meet you
Juicy
Man I need an embrella rig
What line are you using
20lb fluoro mostly
Thank you, I live in central Florida and typically throw it on braid
I've never thrown one
Can you troll these rigs?
They banned the Alabama rig because lure sponsors complained.
Funny they banned a bait but not livescope
No offense but u southern boys are late on techniques.
You guys gonna fish or just talk
