A-Rig - Coverage of the School-E-Rig on Bass Resource
JOSEPHINE, Penn. – With so many multi rigs available on the market today, anglers cannot help but become slightly confused with all of the different models hanging on tackle store walls. Which one should they choose, which one provides the best all around results?
Now Picasso Lures introduces the School E Rig system.
Unlike every other umbrella rig styled lures on the market, Picasso Lures claims they are the only company that has produced a complete system to match all of the fishing conditions that face the angler on the water. Whether the angler needs a full sized version with large swimbaits, or a scaled down finesse approach is imperative; Picasso Lures has the School E Rig to fit your application.
Beginning with the original School E Rig, Picasso has built a castable umbrella rig family that provides something for everyone. The original School E Rig is an eight-inch rig built on .040 wire, weighs 7/16-ounce and is built for larger baits. The School E Rig Junior is also built on .040 wire, but at 3/8-ounce and 6.75 inches with a slightly longer center wire, it is a complement for scaled down approaches and for precise casting. At five inches long with a .035 frame, and weighing 1/8-ounce, The School E Rig Finesse is built to be the rig for tough times. Finally, the Panfish version is built on a five-inch .030 wire frame, and is available in a rigged or unrigged version.
Each of the members of the School E Rig family are constructed with a lightweight, impact resistant head that has an embedded swivel as the line tie to aid with reduction in line twist during the cast and retrieve. The School E Rig family comes with American made snap swivels to make rigging easy, and is said to be strong enough to land the biggest or multiple fish on one cast.
Picasso also produced a series of heads designed to make a complete system. The Picasso Smartmouth Fish Heads are built around a 30-degree hook which adds action to any swimbait anglers choose. Smartmouth Fish Heads are available with two hooks, a 2X Strong Gamakatsu for when a beefy hook is needed, or a Mustad Ultra Point hook for when more of a fine wire version is the ticket. All of the Smartmouth Fish Head sizes (1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4 and 3/8-ounce sizes) are available with larger hooks to allow for precise weighting, regardless of the size of swimbait used.
Picasso also built a set of Dummy Heads that feature a Fish Head shape designed around a locking spring keeper for rigging hooks without hooks in order to meet individual state regulations. By using the Picasso Dummy Heads, anglers can keep the same look throughout the rig; which creates more bites.
The School E Rig family is already a winner. FLW Tour Pro and Picasso Lures Pro Staffer Brent Ehrler won the first FLW Tour Major of 2012 at Lake Hartwell in South Carolina; and the School E Rig junior played a part in the victory. The win was the seventh in Ehrler's storied career, and proved just how effective the School E Rig family can be.
The Picasso School E Rig family, Smartmouth Fish Heads and Dummy Heads are available at tackle dealers nationwide.
