Overview
Built for shallow-water bass presentations, this rig is designed to keep soft plastics riding above the bottom while still allowing natural movement. Its one-piece solid ring connection and rolling swivel support a more fluid bait action, and the 2-1/2 inch stainless steel dropper arm lets you set up weight placement with simple adjustments. It can be rigged with a soft plastic worm wacky or threaded Texas-style, giving anglers flexibility when conditions call for a finesse approach. The pack includes 2 rigs, making it a practical addition for anglers who want adaptable tackle for bass fishing in the shallows.

Pros

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for bass in the shallows, so it is more specialized than a general-purpose rig.
- The weight is not fixed; you need to add your own weight and/or bead combo to the shaft.
- The dropper arm must be bent slightly with narrow nose pliers to secure the weight, which adds a small setup step.
- Soft plastics can be rigged wacky or Texas-style, but the presentation depends on how you choose to rig and weight it.
