Put the center jig on a fluoro leader that trails the rest of the rig by about a foot. That should solve a lot of the short strike and hesitation to strike problems.

[@GunnerBrooks7102]

It’s provocative.. it gets the fish goinggg😂

[@SouthernHeadsandTails]

I mean 😂😂😂

[@anthonylinhardt]

@alansteinle7632 is correct. I would extend all three of your hooks on the A-Rig back further than your non-hook baits. This will almost guarantee a hook-up on any of the 3 hooks. I am pretty sure they are hitting the dummy baits first.

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Mad props to the lawdawg for matching the hat with the shirt. Looking MINT

[@ThresherFishing]

Haha good idea. I've had one in my backpack for about a year waiting for a good opportunity to use it but when it is a good time, I forget its in there.

[@LawsonLindseyFishing]

You should def give it a go. I think it would absolutely slay the trout

[@TheFishingMommy]

Man I’d pay good money to see a fishing/camping trip with Coop & Lawson.

[@peterg9948]

You thought we wouldn’t catch the blades of glory reference at 2:55

[@JG-ez3sl]

If you put one bigger swimbait on the rig and bend the wire so that it sets slightly further back than the rest they will eat that bigger bait 90% of the time. Gives them something to focus on and eat vs just slashing at the rig.

[@billytripp4849]

Never thought of using a A-rig for surf fishing! Love the videos Lawson.

[@MRMIKE276]

Dude these are excellent videos. Doing things most people don't do is exactly what made me subscribe.

[@mannyfeeesh]

most people do the impossible they just don't show it on social media or give out locations lol

[@ricks2907]

I would try putting a single bait trailing the A rig by a few feet? IDK. Cheers Lindsey

[@mariosolis1802]

Man! The excitement from all the hits on this thing. I know exactly how you feel. The anticipation!! 😮

[@SMC4117]

Try pulsing the rig next time…. steady retrieve , rip,rip… steady retrieve … repeat! With a high gear ratio reel you can just use the reel for the action or just give the rig a couple of twitches similar to a jerk bait. High speed 7:1 would be perfect for either applications. Predatory fish get very triggered when they their prospective food darts away. Hope this tip helps 🏄🏼‍♂️🎣🤙🏻

[@jankie55]

Isn't that an Alabama rig?

[@copeman5902]

Rip that reel lol. I'm in Brevard and trying to get down to the Vero area to fish some more and explore so thanks for the videos!

[@michaelmiers4852]

Well there's something else to add to the beach cart :) what gear and line were you using? How about inshore hollow body frog fishing.

[@lotuscampbell8660]

Love the vids Lawdawg, may i ask what pants you like to fish in? thanks!

[@sttvoyager1727]

Great video. Keep up the killer content

[@McQuadeOutdoors]

Love the videos, big swimbait fishing on the SUP has been fun. Love to see what you could put together!

[@robgrubb420]

I think it REALLY shows that a freshwater fish that attacks the weakest bait like that bait is designed for is different than the saltwater fish that just seem to smash it on the ones with no hook just as often or more. very interesting.

[@robgrubb420]

if it was legal I'm betting using an a-rig with hooks on every one would work better in the saltwater.

[@comfortablynumb9342]

​@@robgrubb420is it illegal?

[@robgrubb420]

read your fishing regulations where you plan on using it always lol.

[@wendyhowes1210]

Lawson whatever you do don't stop thinking outside the box. I love your videos when you takes freshwater lures and all kinds of crazy laws and go fishing with it. I'm laughing my ass off you are a peso

[@AndrewDoesLife]

Imagine running an A rig across a sea wall and getting smoked by 3 snook and a 30lb Jack lmao that’s a video I’d LOVE to see

[@JesseG085]

Lawson, sea walls and snook are always a great time!

[@toddwinegar7365]

Spent all last week up in daytona throwing a 3/4 once swimbait with a 4 in largo shad as a trailer around, with NO luck. I did the same thing last year and just had a ton of followers is all but it wqas cool. I only get one week a year down there and sure I catch a bunch of small fish and shark fishing with live bait at night. However I throw that swim bait around thinking if I do get bit on it the fish will be worth the wait? I use a spinning real with this of course , I think next year I will be rigging up an A-rig for next years trip after watching this footage. I say a different day and you will CRUSH it! Just wasnt that day for the big fish this day. Good luck next time......

[@noahchester96]

Hey man, have you ever thought of trying crank baits in the surf? Might make for an interesting experiment.

[@saltysailor141]

They work in Washington state on the coast!

[@jacksonhowell7242]

love the surf fishing vids

[@tolpacourt]

Fish strike the lures without the hooks because they can see hooks, and hooks don't look natural. A spook without hooks gets 10x the hits. Some fishing guides use a hookless spook to draw in fish for their fly fishing customers. Fish can see hooks.

[@leonsus9317]

Try trolling with multiple Alabama rigs and see what happens.

[@vjabonador1067]

The A-rig looks quite effective. I think they'd work quite well being slow-trolled behind a boat. Not quite sure how they'd hold up to prolonged and repeated use in saltwater with all that metal and moving parts with those spinners. Those rigs aren't exactly cheap.

[@peter791]

a-rigs are literally copys of saltwater umbrella rigs which are trolled behind a boat.

[@letemgofishing]

You could run an A rig with Mirrodines.

[@rodconner9079]

Pretty Sweet!!!! Let's Goooooooo!!!! Be Safe

[@ned_and_cazz]

Bro. same challenge, but switch bait them. Turn them with the A rig then switch bait on a second setup with a slightly larger single soft plastic to get the bite. Would be interesting to see if you get more hookups

[@messyfisherman4140]

It looks like your running the same size baits on the teaser as the ones with hooks you supposed to run larger baits on your jig heads so they stick back a little further wich increases your chances of a hook up

[@daytonarob-rc4402]

Law doggie. You my best good friend and don't even know it. 😂

[@FISHERYIN]

nahhh this wilddddd

[@h22s.i.r]

Damn!! I love these bass lures vids in salt water. Its entertaining as F!!!

[@fishermangleroutdoors]

😂 the kanye song reference at 2:55

[@AndreasChristouSaltwater]

You should check out the CUR (clear umbrella rig) as an experiment to see if it was just the steel wires making the bite tougher

[@jonathane984]

Time to try the Berkley Cull Shad!!!

[@dwiagung5594]

i think you need to give it some modification like change the hooks or use bigger swimbait on it

[@JesseG085]

Lawson, we need merch!

LAW DAWG 🔛🔝🗣💯

[@Krakenflyfishing]

Try some down south…chicken of the c. That’s the best bait you can use in Texas flats for sure.

[@jackgoodman7855]

What’s the name of that song that you referenced Lawson?

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Why not put hooks on all of the A rig baits? Seems like smaller jig heads in all the baits would catch more fish. Having hooks in half the baits obviously causes bites on baits without hooks.

[@brianscott217]

Open the wires more and you will do some work

[@mtac.JesusisKing]

What braid to mono knot do you tie for your baitcastors?

[@haydenloeffler1247]

What beach is that

[@kevinblack6399]

Would love to see glide baits or big multi joint swim baits getting a workout in the salt!

[@blackbirdfpv1981]

Lawson bro no joke I was wondering if snook would hit that

[@KentAshby712]

Great idea, keep fishing these in saltwater.

[@digflorida6205]

Looks like there’s an opportunity to fine tune that rig so it works right. Lawson Rig maybe? 😎

[@detexoutdoors2509]

Suggestion… let me build a custom bait for you 😊

[@paul6907]

just use an 5 hook a-rig... we in Florida... 😁
