It catches fish, but it's not magic. You must be around fish just like anything else. I throw the 3 rig most of the time here in TN.... sometimes I am bad and break the law. If all I had were 5 rigs I would try and put spinner bait blades on the extra 2 after rigging it with three swimbaits. I think the flash helps out. I usually throw it with 1 odd colored swimbait, chartreuse or similar if I am throwing shad colors as the trailer of the group. 65lb braid or greater, long rod med/heavy action. I also do not throw it with a leader, seems pointless since you have wire everywhere. If the fish sees the braid and does not bite but misses the wires hanging off the a-rig, sucks to be you. When I started fishing it a couple years ago I did not have the proper set up, lost way more fish than I caught, make sure your equipment can handle it.
