Fishing the Perfect Storm? Use the Right Tackle

Image

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.

2 thumbs up on your mods to the rig to prevent excess stress and damage to the fish due to extra hookings from other jigheads on the rig.

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!
