Ok Guys I need help. The last few years I hear tons about the A-Rig. I have bought a handful of 3 and 5 wire rigs but have yet to have any success. I have done a lot of research and basically found that they are good for suspending bass but that they are pretty simple to fish. Yet I have not been able to catch a single fish on them. i have thrown them right next to other boats that are fishing them and they catch fish and I dont. Needless to say I have very little confidence. I have some basic questions:

Does it seem like more baits are better?

What size of swim bait do you typically use for this time of year?

What size of jig head?

If I was fishing Kentucky lake this time of year should I be swimming it along the bottom or in the middle of the water column? etc

A little about my setup. I have been fishing them with braid on a 7.5 ft heavy action rod. I have been using the storm wildeye 3" swim shad baits in pearl on a Yum flash umbrella rig.

What am I missing? Thanks for your help in making me a more versatile angler.
