So we got out and tested our castable umbrella rigs on some bass this weekend. We've long thrown these for stripers but with the advances in swimbaits and better rods and line, casting an umbrella rig is something we never thought of doing 5 or 10 years ago. We always just trolled with them.
We've been making the 9-inch U-Rig for more than 7 years now and let me tell you, we're just sick we didn't use it more fishing tournaments this year after today's test.
We hit Kentucky Lake today and had three bass weighing more than 6 pounds. Our best five today weighed 24 pounds all caught on our Cumberland Pro Castable U-Rig and 5 swimbaits on our 1/8 and 1/4 ounce swimbait heads.
We also lost two great big fish today that would have easily put us up near 30 pounds. Just absolutely incredible fishing when you consider that typically the fall has been some of the hardest fishing on the lake in previous years. Not anymore. Now we have a new tool for the bass that like to suspend.
