I think Rodney's idea is good and I find it quite easy to make my own rig.
Mojo sinker, tag elastic (that you can get from any fabric store), and 2
split rings. The rest is a standard dropshot.


I am sure you either did not know my rig was patented,, or you believed
that making something that is patented by someone else was Ok for
personal use,, this is not the case.

Personal use is still patent infringement, you can find this out by
reading the USPO web site, under their FAQ "what is a patent"

think
I'll call my rig "Fruit of the Boom"...

get a strike.


Yeah, good advice. I try to work it as slow as possible but river current
makes it difficult. The slow metabolism of the fish this time of year
dictates the slow retrieve, well.. most of time

I was hoping for some new tips for cold water river bass.

That's why the Wiggle rig works so well this time of the year,, you can
slow down to a complete stop, yet still keep your lure moving in that
spot.


Geeze, is your custom rig the answer for everything? rolleyes

I don't need a special rig to stop my bait and make it wiggle.

You a shill for the Flying Lure and Banjo Minnow too? lol

You got smallmouth? Sometimes a crank bait off current breaks by rocks and
bats can surprise you with reaction strikes a faster retrieve than you might
think with the current or quartering casts upstream.

Please killfile him (I wish everyone would) or ignore him and continue

The majority of posters in this group ? What, did you call
for a show of hands ? ;-)

Wow, is it cabin fever season already ? If you're going to
advocate ignoring someone it might be a good idea to do so
yourself instead of posting a flame. I mean, can't we all
get along ?

Any suggestions guys?

I have a good patterns from warm weather but I can't seem to catch much in
colder weather.

Any suggestions? Maybe a deeper pattern in the current?

Do an internet search for Float n Fly, or maybe one of the guys here can
help you with it. I've heard it's an awesome cold water method, but haven't
had the chance to try it yet. When the water temps are cold, it seems I'm
chasing muskies.
