Sucker RIGs

I was wondering if anyone had a way to quickstrike rig or even rig a sucker that would make the sucker swim up towards the surface yet still swimming in the direction of the boat. i.e. something like a big floating jighead, but without the gaudy float. thanks

About the only thing I could think of would just be a short line below a bobber. It would take a fair size float in front of a sucker to keep it up top.

Actually my friend and I just experimented with the type of thing you are talking about, though we meant it as a type of Lindy rig for big suckers. My friend Ryan Jinkerson(of Rylur) wanted to get his suckers up off the bottom, whilke still holding contact with it. I said, try a float, and we devised a large Balsa slip on with a stop that floats the sucker up while using a lead core or walking sinker. This has probably done before, so I'm not saying we pioneered it, but something of this variation might work for you without the weight.

Kyle,

Your e-mail addy isn't working. I sent you more info on the boat, and it came back.

Speaking of boats, Steve W. I'm selling my Tuffy, and want to buy a new 1760 Esox Deep V. When can we get together for a test run in yours. Let me know.

Tight Lines, all,
