    I like it!!

    To bad I have zero luck so getting the fish to hit 1 out of 6 wouldn’t work too good for myself

    Under a bass forum?? I like it very much and I see you put a lot of thought into it. For walleyes I can see buying into it, but bass?!

    I improvised a similar rig last Fall with 4 paddle tail minnows and one spinner bait off the back/middle position with a large sucker minnow on it. Slow troll method for muskies. Didn’t get any muskies but I did get a 6 pound northern that tore 2 of the paddle tails off and got hooked on the spinner bait. Man he hit hard.

    My only concern with catching pike/musky with the traditional umbrella rig (5 hooks) is that when they roll I can’t imagine not getting them foul hooked. Probably good those multi-hook rigs are not legal in Minnesota..

    Looks like a Z-Man Quadzilla to me.

    I could tell that wasnt your hand. You seem like the type that gets manicures.

    Not bad but you are missing 4 more hooks.

    Here’s a “South Dakota rig.” Two hooks are allowed in SoDak and great for the silver bass, can catch 2 at a time when they are on the feed. Custom made by Wayzata Bait & Tackle.

    I guess I should consider myself “old” when you see new innovation of rigs from 30 years ago. I don’t remember if it was Yakima or Lure Jensen had a few variations of the “6 pack”, and other manufactures made knock-offs of those. On Lake MI, we hung multiple spoons off of the back of them. After more exsperimenting, many of us learned to replace the “minnow body” with gold willow leaf blades. To me, just another application of west coast offense applied to the mid west

    We swapped out the standard.body with spoons on these. Caught a few musky with these also.

    Mississippi River smallmouths relating to bluff walls and wing dams would definitely chomp one of these!
