Naturally, here at TackleTour, we're all about the tackle. So in our brief time with this rig, which rods and reels have we found appropriate to throw it? Well, this goes back, again, to how you actually configure your umbrella rig. We're fortunate enough to have, right in our area, one of those vanishing commodities, a neighborhood tackle shop. Properly leveraged, assuming they fish the product, the purveyors at your local tackle shops can shorten your learning curve with just about any bait or technique.

x2 I am going to fish this with one hook. Great article, the guys at Hi's are the bomb!
Get your kids hooked on fishing, and they'll never have any money for drugs or alcohol.
Thanks for the reviews on the umbrella rig, guys. Interesting reading. My experiences thus far differ from yours in a few minor areas. For example, I've been setting the hook on the vast majority of my fish, and hooking like 95+% of them.
I'm sure, like every rig, the buzz will die down quickly as the fish get used to seeing this. But it sure is fun while it's working!
