A link to some great information about how to rig an "Umbrella Rig".

Hopefully, I'll have some pictures of me with a big Striper soon!

hey i am a member of that website forum as well- suprise suprise right ?

down here i rig my own umbrellas with storm 6 inch shads off the 4 arms.....why drag a rubber bait with NO HOOK in it ? lol..... i have even used 4 flounder rigs with bucktail heads off the 4 arms.....it all works.

Concerning the hook thing...are there any regulations that say that you can only drag a certain number of hooks on a particular bait? i.e. If you're pulling an umbrella rig with a hook dangling from each arm and a hook from the center, then you're dragging 5 hooks on a single bait. I think there may be rules against this... Will have to research a bit.

Have you ever heard of anything like that?

have you done your research yet ? There are no limits in VIRGINA waters and in MARYLAND you are only allowed 1 hook per rig......dont quote me tho- do the research so you know for yourself because the game warden dont want to hear " well this guy told me..............."
