    what non-typical baits are you using on the a-rig?

    I am curious about the variations of bait types that have been used successfully on the a-rig. Obviously, the swim baits, paddle-tail flukes and single-tail grubs are the most popular or most publicized. I have read about small spinner baits, and saw a video of an a-rig under water w/ small casting spoons (which looked great), What about craws, like a Rage Tail? Twin tail grubs? Ribbon-tail worms? 4" or 5" tubes? What about a small crankbait like a Bandit 200 series on the bottom wire and jig heads with plastics on the other four? This is a pretty interesting technique that I haven't thrown yet, but I will be shortly!

    What do you guys think?

    He was using an .060 wire rig so it didn't flex enough to tangle them on the cast.
