Umbrella Rigs

Recommended Posts

I recently bought an umbrella rig for striper fishing and it has the weight (2-3 ounces) in the center of the rig with the arms molded into it. If you are comfortable melting lead, you can build a small wooden box as a mold, with holes drilled to fit in the umbrella arms. If you want one shaped to come through the water with minimum drag on the center weight, use Bondo as a mold and shape the lead form with a Dremel tool. I can't think of any other way of attaching the arms and lead weight together that's better than molding them together.
