hey cj,
i checked did a search on pro-rigging ospreys. its cool stuff. you said that u replace the harness with poly tubes. where can i get poly tubes? how do u insert that mojo weight into the belly of the lure? i already have on pro-rigged osprey that i got at bww, but i want to pro-rig some of the other old-school ospreys i have...
thanks-vince

Oh, so now you're after all my secrets huh?...LOL. I had a feeling I'd get a lot of Pro-Rig questions after the Fred Hall Show. Some booth was selling them for $8 and we've already had several guys come down to get us to rig them. One point I need to make: If you buy an Osprey for a really cheap price, don't be surprised if it won't swim right. The baits that are available for like $8 are baits that weren't top notch. They are models that we(and other shops) returned or refused to stock. I can probably get 95% of them to swim, the other 5% are offered for $8 at Fred Hall Shows by other dealers.

Getting back to your question though, the poly tubing is from an industrial hardware store(I think they use it for refrigeration venting) and I core the belly of the bait with a Grub-Gutter tool to insert the Mojo weight. I've never been bashful about showing guys step-by-step how to rig their own baits, but I kinda have to do it in person for you to see all the little tricks. Stop by again when you have a chance, or e-mail me with anymore specific questions.

thanks for the response dude. sorry for picking your brain of all your secrets haha, but the drive over to santa ana is one hell of a journey... you swimbaiters are really innovative. its inspiring. maybe someday, i'll come up with something as great as a pro-rig and share it with you guys...
