Guys was wondering if anyone has had an success with umbrella rigs using swim baits or the Booyah Boo Rig using a lipless crankbait or some other kind of hardbodied lure?  I know in my state the umbrella rigs are illegal if you exceed more than 3 swim baits with hooks.  I'm actually more eager to try the Boo Rig with a Rattle Trap.  I assume you need pretty heavy line and a heavy action rod for these baits?  Any input would be great!

I fish The Rig with a Johnson Silver Minnow on the center arm.

Any luck RoadWarrior?  Are they good in both clear and stained water?

I fish umbrella's from fall to post spawn in CA, and same rules, only 3 hooks.  And 3 wire rigs do not swim right, so I use dummy heads on smaller baits and fish the 5's.  Looked at the Boo rigs but the one I wanted was sold out and going to have to wait. 

Any luck RoadWarrior?  Are they good in both clear and stained water?

 

A have caught a few good size bass, mostly smallmouth, but for the

most part The Rig is my go-to for Pickwick stripers.

Thanks for the scoop guys!  Wish I could fish open water in the winter like you guys do in CA Gulf Captain.  I hate ice fishing!!!!
