FLY FISH? Sure, we have a customer who is very successful FLY FISHING with the B.W.A.B.! 

His rigging is pictured below! 

CARP

Carp are scavengers and enjoy a meal just ready to be sucked up off the bottom. With your Dough Ball anchored by the sinker, it can lay in a area near the catfish bait for a mix of smells that should attract many fish from everywhere!

Crappie

 Suspending your live or dead minnow using the Bobber With A Brain adds both freedom for the bait to swim (live) or flip in the current (dead.) A Crappie will be in full view of the minnow swimming around on your line like he is hurt!  

Deadly Attraction Action! 

(Also Trout love Minnows too!)

Catfish!

A Catfish can not eat off the bottom, so your Bobber With A Brain sets the bait perfect at a level for smell and vision motion in the water, this is irresistible to CATS! Especially the big one like Mr. Turner handled, (below!)

AT THE SAME TIME, ON EACH CAST!

 Bottom hook can have PowerBait too, FOR TROUT!

When using a Live Bait Fish, you need a way to keep the Bait Fish VISIBLE to Predators! (Cats, Walleye, Bass, Etc.)    This rig solves that problem

This is a method for large live fish as bait when the fish is 6 inches or bigger like a small perch or sunfish as bait . The red bobber keeps the  bait fish in one area with little effect on the B.W.A.B. till there is a strike.

Connect a very small CLEAR or "red & white" type bobber to the swivel that also holds your rig. (See Picture.) Hook a five or six inch live bait fish, like a Chub, a foot or two above your sinker with a small "red & white" bobber a foot or two about the fish. (Try this with a Single Hook Rig like we handle here.) 

The Bait fish can only swim in a circle! It simply CAN NOT SWIM UP OR DOWN more than a few INCHES! Live Bait Fish always want to swim under weeds or a rock on the bottom. Now you are set for BIG CATS or WALLEYE! Works Excellent even very deep water! Use a sinker heavy enough to take under the small bobber.

The Bobber With A Brain still shows a hit and you have your Live Bait controlled and swimming in the PREDATORS FACE!

What attracts Big Predators than a bait fish in distress?

(You can use a much heavier sinker for longer casts, since the "red & white" bobber will make the sinker lighter in the water!)

Current Riding / Weed Filled Bottom Set Up

This rig makes the Bobber With A Brain free to move in the current or above weed beds that snag your sinker!

The Split Shot works but usually we use a small swivel to stop the line from slipping back through the bobber. When done fishing, just disconnect the rig.

Use a Split Shot Sinker or small Swivel as a "LINE STOPPER" to stop the line at the distance you want your hooks to be in the water. Just adjust the "LINE STOPPER" for the depth, Works great ONE to FIVE feet deep! (You are using the split shot or Swivel as a line stopper, but it never is reeled into your reel!) The "LINE STOPPER" will stop at the end of the Bobber With A Brain, even when reeled in! Attach a rig on the swivel, a single or double hook style, Without a sinker. (Remove the sinker from our hook rigs.) 

You can even use a small weighted jig with this rig, but make sure the weight doesn't pull the bobber over, flat on the water!

When your fishing, the "LINE STOPPER" stops your line exactly at the depth you set. Which allows this set up to move around, you can still jig, wiggle, your baits by light pulls on your fishing rod.

Why not use a Simple Round Bobber?

Lot's of reasons: The best one is the fish never feels the B.W.A.B. until after he is caught! Bobber With A Brain has no resistance on your bait, a round bobber can be felt by the fish when he grabs the bait immediately! 

You can see a nibble clearly even in FASTER CURRENT, like a River! 

FLY FISHING with the Bobber With A Brain

YOU can CAST a FLY MILES from SHORE!   -ROY M

The trout out here in Colorado don't stand a chance! My wife and I have had so much fun fishing with the Bobber With A Brain, and we have caught some MONSTER trout!

 Now, it's not at all unusual to pull in 16 to 20 inch trout and yes, I have pictures to prove it! 

I've used your bobbers with a DRY-FLY and had great success catching trout off the surface when the bugs hit the water during the daily hatches. 

I tie an approx. 4-foot leader-line to the swivel at the end of the Bobber With A Brain with a dry fly on the end. The bobber acts as the weight to cast way out there, and then acts as a float to keep the fly from sinking as I reel it back in. So, what I have is the bobber coming towards me as I reel the line in, and then about 4 feet beyond that, the fly is skimming the top of the water - Awesome strikes!!

These Rigs where originally designed to for the B.W.A.B. As we used these with other fishing  applications, we found a huge market for Hand Tied Fishing Rigs! Snap a leader hook on the swivel (clip), below the sinker, and you also have a baited hook lying on the Bottom too !

"Crappie did not SEE the Rig & Tie! It was so light, you can fish anywhere, on a boat, on the dock, on land! I would recommend this product to anyone I know. Because it works! I like this,  Thank you!"     - J. Pruit  N.A.F.C.

Ceramic and Steel Sinker Design with either Single and Double Mustad Hook Snaps 

North American Fisherman (Club Magazine) March 2004 -- Luke Schneider, Saint Louis, MO. says:  "The hybrid Drop Shot Crappie Rig & Tie is for serious crappie fisherman." "The Sensitivity is remarkable and it doesn't drift in the wind."

Tied with 15 pound Stren or Trilene line - Mustad Snaps  - 1/2 Ounce Ceramic Sinker or a 3/8 ounce STEEL Sinker!

Also comes with our quick storing, re-usable foam Rig Holder. 

<--- Directly to our Rig Page in the Shopping Cart!

I feel the Ceramic rig hooked more fish. I assume due the sound made by the Ceramic Sinker on the one leader, it must sound like a Crayfish walking along the rocks. The Ceramic rig worked well on both Catfish and Bass!         -W. Skinner N.A.F.C.

 Hand Tied in the United States of America!

SPECIAL FEATURE MUSTAD CERAMIC RIG!   (Pictured above!)

Our Mustad Ceramic Sinker Rigs have a special feature which will let you pull the Ceramic Sinker thru the mustad connector and completely off of the rig, which leaves it without a sinker. This converts the sinker rig to a surface, no weight rig for fishing top water with two or three hooks. 

A additional hook can be clipped on to the swivel (Bottom of the rig) with a foot or two of leader. Using This surface rig  with the BWAB is excellent for river or stream fishing with the current.    (See Current Riding Diagram Above Left!)

Also if you want to go with a Stationary Steel Sinker, you can clip the wire loop one on that bottom swivel, you can go lighter or heavier as conditions require that day, IN A SNAP!

The Ceramic Mustad Rigs are very universal like the Bobber With A Brain!

Vintage Rig Paper shows the dimensions of the rigs we make. Sure, tie it, but I would rather just BUY IT !
