Seeing the A-rig online got me thinking do yall know of anyone who uses them for whitebass. (my experience with whitebass has been limited to accidental catches in a cast net but plan on fishing the sommerville run this year.)

Anytime throwing $40 worth of lures out at one time is not feasible for me. That is a massive about of stuff flying through the air. I get the concept, a baby school of baitfish swimming through the water but for me I will stick to the basics. I have heard alot about this topic lately, and it apparently does catch fish, but one hang up in the trees or grass would ruin my day. LOL Personal experience I have none, I have only seen it on videos and I cannot come to the thought of me throwing that much stuff at one time. Let us know if you do try it and I will be checking on this topic for those who have tried it.

You'd just have to try it and see. Sticks, stumps, underwater debris, and you're probably hung up and jumping in to retrieve your gear, but I can see the point.
