There were a few questions a couple of weeks ago about umbrella rigs.

Here's a commercial webpage that shows a variety of umbrella rigs, their
components, variations, et cetera.

tandem rigs with parachutes or bucktails. Only way to go.

Of course, if you did more than 'drift fishing' within twelve feet of the
marina, you'd know that.

I single rig parachute rigs - very seldom use the spreaders although I
have a full set of them from 6 inch to 24 inch and in several
configurations.


It's really not necessary to tow all that metal to catch stripers, and
when you do, it isn't much fun reeling them in. I suppose the next big
thing for the heavy metal fishermen around here will be electric reels,
the kind the wire fishermen use. I don't see what the sport or pleasure
is in using such ungainly gear for stripers.
