With winter slowly creeping up I want to try a 'new to me' technique this year. The A-rig. When you were starting out throwing an a-rig what's some things you wish you knew? What are the best A-rigs? Which baits to run on them? Etc.. While your at it, post up some pictures of bass that have succumbed to the temptation of an alluring A-rig.

1 bait, all year, and is still producing. I throw everything and end up fishing this 1 lure 90% of the day. From lakes scattered in North Fla to rivers winding in South GA, custom made Devilshorse has ruled this entire year again.

I mainly river fish and keep a 4x4 7" bull shad tied on. Why would you want a fast sink in the river anyways? 80% of river fish are all reaction strike. 1ft sink is plenty for a 5ft river bank.

I don't like it. Ain't broke don't fix it. They had one of the best websites, now its like blahh..

1/4 Nichols Saber w/ missle D chunk. Absolute killer in my local rivers

This hook #2 and a piece of 3/8 shrink wrap around the middle. You'll thank me later.

@rangerjockey don't need an ultrex with all the bells and whistles, I mainly river fish shallow so I just need tough and dependable. I'm waiting on a good spring sale I guess, Thanks for suggestions folks, Hodges Marine has the best price so far!

Look up Golden Isles bassmaster club on FB or try DueSouth bass club. Both are excellent clubs in the SE Ga area

Looking at buying a 36v Fortrex, anybody know the best place to shop for one? I usually buy from Tacklewarehouse but trying to shop around. Thanks

I picked Poche for Lake Murray, but bass emailed me saying he was disqualified for fishing MLF. Dudes fishing strong this year

Custom made Devilshorse. 100% top producer

I'm off to a terrible start.

I had Patrick Walters but took him out for Keith Poche. Story of my life.

River runs right by our mill, we actually have outflows that drain into the river. I have many trails I slip away on and catch a bass or 3. I might not make it to the professional level, but I do get paid to bass fish. ? @Darth-Baiter seems like a great place to dump some bluegill and bass.?‍♂️

I'm in again this year. Always love the southern stretch, northern fisheries are always a cointoss! Goodluck everyone!

@A-Jay I've been wanting to try a popmax for awhile now, just been putting off buying one. But that Midnight bone is absolutely perfect color. Of course only one I could find was 32$ on ebay. But it's on the way nonetheless. So a sincere thank you for posting that sir.

November to March I keep a suspending jerkbait tied on, then April to Oct floating jerkbait gets the nod. Usually a twitch, twitch, pause cadence. Always been an excellent producer in local rivers. Definitely don't underestimate them as they are often overlooked.

I've never used one, always thought it was for losers. Well, lost a DD this past year because I didn't have a net to land her. Never go to the water without one now. And oddly enough i use it all the time now. ?

OK all the talk about hardware rattling, simple fix- almost every treble hook bait I throw gets swapped to braid split rings. Your baits will 100% be quiet. And you will almost never have a bass throw the hooks. And the absolutely best cranks for quiet 1.PhCustom 2.Frittside 3.OG Slim

I've thrown a few a few glide baits in my local river, and it was a failure. As long as I kept the bait in an eddy or an oxbow lake it was fine, but any current blew it away. So it didn't work for me and I was looking to try something else. I've since just thrown a Megabass 6" Magdraft freestyle and called it good. Its weedless, i can fish current with it, and skips under overhanging trees. Not quite the answer your looking but my advice is to experiment, try them out and see what you like the best

I'll sure be trying this, seems like it would work good in my local rivers. Thanks for the idea!!

You ever flip heavy spinnerbaits @Catt? I'm about to order some heavy ones just for this technique, there's absolutely no info on this technique anywhere.

Vision 110 and shakyhead finesse worm. Start there and experiment as you go

I have a 13' Gheenoe to get me to some of the remotest spots around here. I refuse to paddle a kayak that far. And normally carry a chainsaw for unpassable laydowns. The further you get away is usually pretty rewarding. Whatever. It. Takes. Period.

Ordered 40lb AFW titanium leader with #2 crimps and some swivels. Thanks!
