Weapon Rig

[ebijack]

When I don't have any tied up, I just shorten one of my regular harnesses like Greg to close to 16 inch as that is about as long as you want to be able to cast easily. Cut the back hook off, change out the blade to a small gold or bumble bee blade, tie the large loop with a small bead in the loop, slide over your egg sinker 1/2, 5/8 or 3/4 depending and your good to go.


The bumble bee blade is a copper/yellowish with black dots on it. They come in from very small to #5 and spoons.

One thing that I have found that helps casting these type of rigs is to use a baitcaster if you have one. You can thumb the spool just before entering the water which makes the rig fan out and not foul up. It also helps if you gently sweep cast instead of a hard jerky one.

you can do the same thing with a spinning reel just before it hits the water place your hand gently on the bail to add resistance to the line going out works great.
