Here is a video that is a must watch if you are interested in using it. This guy from the Everstart series breaks it down and gives his take be ways to fish it but also warns from taking what anyone says as absolute truth on how to fish it because its so new.

Great link Travis. I must admit is was a nice piece of filming...opinion....explanation. Enjoyed watching it. Those that know me know that I won't....can't use that. Two # test line couldn't even cast the thing...LOL. Having been laid up and watching nine to 10 hours of fishing shows a day I have seen a lot about this. A lot of these guys are using 65# to 80# test braid. I don't see how you would keep from wearing yourself out with the thing. Having fished the Red Sea and Persian Gulf for over 20 years I can tell you that it is nice to catch stocker trout and bluegill. We would just get cramps from casting one to four ounce baits all night or day. I am sure the BASS guys are going to use this thing wherever it is legal. Years ago I saw a lot of the umbrella rigs used at Pickwick fishing for Stripers. Never did see one of those being used from the bank though. I am sure it might have been done but I was there a lot and I saw them out in the boats..but never from the bank. I have fished two jigs at once when the White Bass run at Pickwick and many times have caught 30 fish in 15 casts. But sometimes it is not any fun. If the two fish are fighting away from each other you sometimes would just be reeling in dead weight. I must admit it is interesting to see how it plays out and also what it says about the behavior of feeding fish.
