Awesome A-Rig Instagram Fisherman - Lucas on IG@bigboybass_ca

I make a A-Rig's for around 5$ each using high quality Owner or P-Line parts. This is a great way to make a quality A-rig at cheaper than most packs of worms. A lot of the tools I use are common household tools and you don't need a wire former to create loops for the baits, be creative if you don't want to buy a wire former. I've made the loops with needle nose when I first started, it just took a little longer.


Parts to make a 5 Wire/4 Blade A-Rig 8"/7"/5" Arms:

Wire - STAINLESS STEEL STRAIGHT LURE SHAFT WIRE FORM 0.035
Search for these on ebay. 13-15$ for 50 pieces
You can get 10" wire for the Main Arm and 16" wire for the Secondary/Dummy Arms or just get
16" wire and cut to size for the ALL the arms.
