Mini A-Rigs Or Crappie A-Rigs 2025

jhoffman reply :

Anyone throwing these? I have two ordered, at not much bigger than a spinnerbait I wont need an entirely new setup to throw it. Who are you buying them from, which models?

Felix77 reply :

I have a few which I bought over the winter. All YUM

1 - Ultralight Tri - The tiny one. Plan to use small grubs on it and fish it instead of my spinnerbait sometimes.

2 - Flash Mob Jr 5 wire - for swimbaits and grubs too. When allowed to throw it

3 - Flash Mob Jr 3 wire - Same as #2 but when I can't throw the 5 wire.

jhoffman reply :

I went with the micro-frenzy .... 3 colorado blades... one on each arm independant of the swivel/swimbait

Might put 3 sick fish on it, small ones

jhoffman reply :

I also said I wouldnt throw an A-rig and that was due to size and needing a big rod, this was a game changer for me

J Francho reply :

The Picasso School-E Rig is very light. It's a resin head. With 1/8 oz. swimbait jigs, and 3" baits, it's no issue throwing on MH tackle.

zip pow reply :

I use the mini frenzy 4 wire with 1/4 heads and 5" swimbaits on a 7'11" duckett MH crankbait rod and I do not lob cast it will go when you whip it out there.

Bluebasser86 reply :

I've fished the small 3 arm YUM, can't buy a fish with it. I even threw it at schooling white bass with 3 2" sassy shads and they wouldn't touch it. Had the same experience with schooling largemouth this summer with it.

Trever reply :

I have been making my own after seeing the crappie rigs from BPS. I also used one a friend of mine made. I use the Do-it umbrella rig mold but the smallest head size is 3/8 and then I bend my own 3 wire harness. I use Keitech trailers with darter heads. These rigs and underspins have been killing it on my lake recently. Below is the first one I made, kinda ugly I know.

Wayne P. reply :

I catch more bass on this one than crappie.

PondBoss reply :

Yum ultralight tripod. I used it yesterday for the first time and it was easy to cast on a 7'3 MH Pinnacle Perfecta. I caught 2 fish on it, but swam it right in front of 2 fish in the 3-4 lb range and they just looked it off.

I was using the mini swimming flukes, initially I was using the little curly tail grubs that come with it, but wanted to see how it would handle a medium sized bait.

I bought some of the Evolve RX Vibra Micro Grub. To try on this rig. I maybe try it this week and let u know if I get something. How do u retrieve it.

PondBoss reply :

I was fishing it pretty shallow and quick. The grass in the ponds I was fishing comes up to about 4 feet. So I was launching it as far as I could and reeling it anywhere from the surface down to the grass. Had a couple misses which is weird because they absolutely smoke it when they hit it. But managed a couple of dinks.

swanseabass reply :

Going to try it and ill take photos if I get something and what rod type do u use.?

PondBoss reply :

I have been throwing the rig on a 7'3" Pinnacle Perfecta C-Rig rod. It's pretty stout for a MH ( I use it for flipping and pitching mostly) But it is the perfect tool for the job here. I threw it again today while at a couple of different ponds and notta thing, caught a couple of plastics and cranks though.

TNBassin' reply :

Whats the best set up for a MH rod? Jig head size and bait size? I wanna keep it within 1oz, with 3/4oz being ideal if I can get a set up that light.

PondBoss reply :

I am throwing 1/8oz heads on my tri-pod and it works great. Still heavy enough to get to any depth, but not so heavy I need a broom stick to throw it on.

TNBassin' reply :

I just bought one today. I got those black 1/8oz yum jig heads. Gonna use some lft live magic shad and see how they do. How do I bend this Thing out to where it should be? Can someone post a pic of what it should look like?

PondBoss reply :

I've got mine bent out to about 60* angles. Make it look like a camera tripod, but wide and you're set. Hope you have better luck on it than I am so far.

jhoffman reply :

I dont think swimbaits are enough, it has to have some flash also

jhoffman reply :

Well, my micro showed up today and its much smaller than any other three arm. I am telling you no joke this thing is the size of my palm and every bit as small as a spinnerbait. If I put sick fish on it, they will have to be the smallest ones made.

jhoffman reply :

Im gonna unleash it on my club, no one I know of knows about it. Its gonna be like little john...

TNBassin' reply :

If I find the 1/8oz jig heads make the rig too heavy, I'm gonna replace them with 3/o hooks. The weight of the head on the ultra light and the 3in magic shad I have on it should be enough weight.

J Francho reply :

WHAT!

OKAAAAY!

TNBassin' reply :

I was just looking through my plastics, and found some Berkley Realistix in the 3" size. These already come lightly weighted and rigged with hooks, so I took of the 1/8oz jig heads and magic shad. The rig is noticeably lighter, and should really work well on MH gear. Can't wait to try this out.

Pegwedge reply :

I picked up one of the YUM Ultralight rigs and some of the 2" Berkley Realistix to try out. I've never thrown an A-rig before. Is it just cast and retrieve or do you guys pause and put little nuances on it like a spinnerbait?

TNBassin' reply :

I've never thrown one, so I'm interested in how to fish it as well.

PondBoss reply :

I have just been casting and reeling. Counting down to depth and trying to keep it at that depth on the way back. Maybe with some swaying of the rod to change the direction of the school a bit.

I have never seen someone more dedicated to that rig WITHOUT catching a thing on it, than my father in law lol. He uses sassy shads as well with no success.
