excellent post by Tin Can. hit the nail on the head about 6 times. The weapon rig is my favorite to fish with and all the success I have had on it, comes by doing exactly what he said. In addition to fishing the swing and everything else he mentioned, I also do what I call a "flutter" when fishing the weapon. hard to explain but basically when you are retrieving.....i pull about 4-5 feet (like the motion you would use when you set the hook, except slower), then reel that 4-5 feet back while you reset your rod to your original position. and repeat. this creates a slow rise of the rig while you are pulling, then a free fall flutter while you are reeling back the line. most of the time they will hit it on the free fall
