CB, I've lately been seein' a rig between the two that i think you're referring to...it's a small diameter U-rig and it's workin' pretty good to for trollin' but I don't think it's castable...rave reviews down here too on the A-rigs...sellin' 'em fast as they can put 'em on the shelf...

We can get them either way, but mostly they're not castable because they're so big.

I use umbrellas on my downriggers all the time.. 10lb fish style weight, (I don't care for the cannonblalls) with a 6 arm umbrella. Tubes oin the arms and a long center stinger...usually about 4' of leader on the center post with either a tube or a lure on it. Pretty deadly for most fishes... dark colors (blacks and purples mostly) for stripers...whites and yellows for blues. Greens for most anything.
