Quick take

A five-arm rig that simulates a school of baitfish, designed for boat trolling and aggressive strikes.

This five-arm umbrella rig carries soft swimbaits on rigid wire arms to imitate a school of baitfish, with a spinner blade set for added flash. It suits boat trolling and casting for bass, crappie, walleye and trout, and the weedless hooks help around cover. Its weight calls for a heavier rod and thicker line.

Best for

  • Bass and pike targeting schooling forage
  • Trolling from boats with heavy gear
  • Situations where a single bait is less effective

Skip if

  • You fish small streams or ponds with light tackle
  • You target species that strike isolated prey

Strengths

  • Steel wire arms stay rigid and parallel during retrieve
  • Multiple baits increase strike chances across species
  • Simulates natural schooling behavior

Trade-offs

  • Requires heavy rod and thick line due to weight and resistance
  • Complex assembly and lure combination
  • Legal restrictions may apply in some waters

About this type

A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.

Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.

Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
