Yes,some very big names in bass fishing are using this method to catch some very big fish.Only thing,unless your going with bighammers is snaggin all those swimbaits in one snag.But the guys using this dont have to worry about that,the ones Ive seen on the water were I think 4-5 bait umbrellas.Thats like 80$.Still a little too pricey for me!But its that one bite that makes it all worth it.Good luck, BIlly.
