I got some for Father's Day.  Anyone have any experiences with these/good fish stories?

I've seen lots of people using them for whites in the spring. Never used myself, a boat might help lol.

Heard they worked very well for pin-pointing the location of brush, logs, stumps, etc.

I would like to know how well they work as well. I could see trolling with them.

Trolling with them for stripers works when the fish are in a good mood...early mornings, cloudy days, windy days....on a typical five point rig, four outers of one size, middle slightly larger or colored differently.

Key to trolling them is very careful boat speed, and using the graph, trying to keep the rig slightly above the fish in the sight line.

They are also a load of fun with surfacing fish - just make sure you've got a stout rod and good line.

Stout rod and strong line is a must.

This is exactly what I would think they would be good for.

Rookie Casey Martin won $125,000 FLW tourney in Tenn this past weekend with 4 day total over 100 lbs of bass - a 20 lb margin over 2nd place finisher. His A-rig had 13 swim baits but only 3 hooks (per state rules). A-rigs dominating FLW circuit and expect them to be banned next year as they already are on Bassmaster Elite pro circuit.

That's (4) grueling days of work throwing one of those, but I guess for 125K I could do it...

Yes, they work very well for finding structure. Lost three on Table Rock this weekend. This was my first time using the A Rig and I am completely sold on them. Sit on top of a huge school on Striper hybrids and wore them out. caught almost 30 in 6 hours, all averaging around three pounds. Had two on at once. Haven't had that much fun fishing in quite some time.
