First off would this rig even be legal in Michigan?

You might have to make it pretty heavy but seems this concept could be dynamite in the Detroit river/S. Hole/LSCR channels. HMMMMM [smilie=brows.gif]

It might work in that one lake up by Lowell too. [smilie=biggrin.gif]

Four hooks per lure is the rule. I think they cover it in the video.

Wow, great video work from those guys. Some really well done effects. Thanks for posting Mayhem. Going to be hard for me to copy that on a fly rod. None the less cast it. Favor part was the socket set lead pouring.

if the # of hooks were an issue, just make the rig with 1 long/trailing arm because muskies always take the last/trailer bait – at least with straight cranked Alabamas, don't know about this jigging stuff

I have always wanted to load up a bama rig with mini dusas or uptown dawgs. Just need to remove a hook on each, I think it would look sweet!

Ed's been talking about this for as long as I've known him…I don't think it will drop fast enough in heavy current areas??? Not sure….

My buddy caught a baby 18 inch muskie on LSC using a straight crank Alabama rig for bass so I bet a bigger version would work great for bigger muskies. I like Duke's idea of the long trailer bait.

What about an umbrella rig with smaller swim baits on the umbrella and then a pounder or magdawg on the long trailer arm and working it just like a bulldawg?

This was my concern too, but when I saw that rig with the blades and the shadzillas part of me went OOOOOOHHHHHHH!

With so many good anglers on the LSC system these days surely someone has tried this? It would prolly be hell to jig with but you could make one with 4 bondys.

Had thought about this in the past for muskies and pike. But after seeing what the extra lures had done to the eyes and/or gills of some bass I caught that way, I didn't want to do that to muskies and pike.

(OK I shouldn't blind bass or tear up their gills either, but I still see them as baitfish).

I've done this a little bit up in Canada and have had some action on it. Little curly tail grubs or just willowleaf blades on the umbrella with a Pounder on the center arm seems to work best. If you think throwing just a pounder is a pain, don't even try throwing the umbrella rig with pounder lol. Fudally tackle already makes a set up for this:
