Speckled trout smack paddle tails like that too. Heading out Monday myself for some.
Haven't made it back to Wateree yet cutbait, but will keep your suggestion in mind! Coming up on six day break and hope to get to go! Were you at the same place you told me or did you move locations? PM me! You got some good looking swim baits! :highfive
The crew from wateree were really keeping me busy!!! Attachment 361469

Do you use those jig on crappie? I picked up a pack this fall and they worked great at the pond on bass and crappie. Would like to try them at the lake.Quote:

How fast are you pulling the A rigs?
Depends on how deep the striper are and the weight of the rig. For us it had changed a lot threw out the day. We start slow and deep and then adjust the speed as neededQuote:

I'd rather troll for the stripers than cast. A Rigs put a hurting on the shoulder casting them. Saw a couple guys casting the smaller rigs with only three swim baits on them when Remus and I were down there. They didn't catch anything that I could see. We were fairing pretty good on them trolling but never hit the sweet spot. Had some doubles and a triple on one a rig but one came off from the rig half way in. I guess the question is from most is speed but also the distance out from the boat plays a big part. What is the normal distance for getting down when trolling with the big motor at 1.5 or 1.7 ??? Could a larger swivel be added with an egg sinker above it to get lower at a shorter distance?? I don't need the extra weight add if there is a better way! Someone got an answer to this so all will know? :highfive
I personally aim for 2.1-2.3. Dont do well slower (but still catch a few), and the catching drops off significantly if I go faster.

Thanks Joe and Pete! We will try these speeds the next time we go. Just needed to confirm what the rate of speed to use. I think we were far enough out behind the boat. Because I dropped back 20 feet or so after no hits at first. That's when we started to get bit more. Thanks again!
I pull Pete's rigs about 2.2 or 2.3. I run them way back most of the time. I can still get below 20 feet if I let out enough line. I usually run 1/4 oz jigs on the outside arms and either 3/4 or 1 oz bucktails on the center to give me about 2 oz of weight.
I'll run Alabama rigs with swimbaits at 2.0-2.4 on leadcore. Or I'll run bucktail jigs with snakewoms on 25# mono at 2.7 on weighted 6 arm umbrella rigs. I never caught any much outside this range. Bucktails seem to catch more if you are going a little faster.Quote:

I got the A rigs Pete makes and matched with some of cutbaits swim baits along with Striper Sniper baits plus 1/4 oz. jig heads. We are in the ball park but want to get better results. Maybe our speed is off from what you'll said. Hope to correct it and move on. THANKS !!
Oh and I have plenty of buck tails 1/2 to 1 oz. I'll change out to! :highfive
Color is most important. Speed also. Then depth. Get those things right and you will catch fish.Quote:
