Picasso Lures School E Rig system lets you match all fishing conditions. The full-size 8-inch umbrella rig weighs 7/16-ounce and is perfect for presenting larger swimbaits. Junior rig, at 3/8-ounce and 6.75 inches, is better for scaled-down presentations and precise casting. Finesse rig, at 5 inches and 1/8-ounce, is best for finicky bites. The 5-inch Panfish rig is available with swimbaits or without for using live baits. Snap swivel makes it easy to exchange one bait for another; embedded swivel at the line tie reduces line twist. Smartmouth Fish Heads are available with 2X Strong Gamakatsu or Mustad Ultra Point hooks. All head sizes (1/16-, 1/8-, 3/16-, 1/4- and 3/8-ounce) offered with larger hooks for precise weighting, regardless of the size swimbait. Dummy Heads even let you rig some swimbaits with no hooks at all, to keep the fish-triggering “school” look without violating restrictions on the number of hooks allowed on a line. Suggested retail price $22.99. Contact: Picasso Lures LLC, Dept. FFG, 263 Old Indiana Road, Josephine, PA 15750; (724) 409-4400; www.picassolures.com
