Re: 9er umbrella rigs
The rigs are best run via wire set up 8-9' rods with moderate tapers 30# class works well .
With wire the rods tapers must be able to absorb the shock of sometimes multiple hookups of big fish !
Like mentioned slick butt rods allow for ease of realase under a load . Shorten wire lengths by adding drail to head of rigs foe better control on turns . When trolling the rigs mid depths no issue if ur in rocky areas u can get stuck easily so pay attention to ur depths and how u perform ur turns .
Landing fish on umbrella rigs it always easier to reel in close grab main frame & lift fish over gunwale !
Trying to hand line is a lot tougher so on ur leader connection use a barrel swivel,small enough to run theu ur guides with no issue .
Multiple hookups are common especially If blues crash em' , you will finf out soon enough u never know what ur gonna get on UR's , one year we caught a record class Bonitio on one & I personally landed 150 # thresher !
