Yo Matt - thanks as always for the on-the-ground insight :)

I'd prefer if the rig came with hardware. The question is whether it should be a snap swivel or just a snap?

It seems like if you're going to have a twist problem it will be at the main line tie, not on the individual lures. So maybe all that's needed is the snap.

I'm similarly confused by the trout head as the center of the rig. If I was throwing three hudds, OK cool! But three 3in hammers would look odd. Jerry probably just wants to catch big fish :)

The rig I want is a super finesse rig with the smallest head possible and light wire, maybe titanium even. Load that thing up and drag it around in 40 feet for spotted bass so I can get my limit faster and get back to throwing real lures.
