    Re: Has anyone hung up and lost an A-rig?

    I've lost a couple. Luckily though, I make my own for about $3 ea, $7 if you include the cost of the jigheads and plastics.

    I try to use swivels with a rating slightly less than my line, so the swivel is the weak point. I tried the light wire hooks, but lost a few fish due to a straightened out hook...not cool...

    Re: Has anyone hung up and lost an A-rig?

    Get freightrained by a big smallie and you'll see why guys aren't using the really light swivels....Saw it with my own two eyes that the light wire swivels will straighten out under the pressure of a big bass...I mainly fish in a lake with musky and can only imagine what would happen if one got ahold of an a rig with lighter swivels.....I use the heavy swivels and will straighten my j will swimbait hooks before it breaks using 80lb power pro
