I am thinking of selling peanuts rigged with a skirt like the Gambler Rigs.  I used to run them on Lake Ontario before I went to spin n glos.  I can get them through Yakima.  My old favorite was the blue luminous.  They discontinued that one. 

[ERABBIT]

Sounds good , I see a few here and there in sporting good shops but nothing like the quality of your Gambler Rigs. That's why I tied my own....

[bandrus1]

Does the skirt drag kill the wobble?

Not at all.

After using these things since the 70's on the Fingers the yellow clown color is the top producer, followed by lime green, red on silver, and as Gambler mentioned the old blue luminous. Just a little tip: you can use nail polish  with a protective coating of acrylic nail polish hardener to experiment with colors and "glitter" on them. One of the most effective additions is to add red spot eyes outlined with a black sharpie especially on the "clowns" or white with reddish pink dots. There is also a larger type (manufacturer?) that works well and is about double the size of the standard one and slightly different shape. The skirted ones do work too. Here is one from the old days with a vinyl skirt Although it is not "rocket science" to use the do it yourself approach my advice would be to get some of Gambler's setups to at least start with to be successful right off the bat as he has the lakers "dialed in".

I'm a fan of the glow, box is colored like erabbit, just not as many. Probably the same if we counted fish also. The 4 on the peanut butter jar would work for me if my life depended on it. Been trying the gamblers, no big hogs for a pic yet. I'm no guide either, I'm still learning.

Here is a sneak peak at the Gambler Rigs peanut rigs. They will be available this winter! As of right now, I will be selling six colors.
