Tail Gunner Rig
Small, floating Rapala with a 6 in dropper with wet fly attached. Try it on picky spawners or if you're tired of worm dirt!

Hey Ricky...the best bet is to remove the back treble hook and tie 6 to 12 inches of 6 lb mono to the back split-ring, then tie the wet fly at the end of the mono. The rig in the photo actually shows the mono tied to the back treble hook, which works, but you'll have less tangles if you remove the back hook and tie to the split-ring. Good Luck!

Jim, how do you set up this particular rig? Where do you tie the fly onto the floating rapala at?

Hey Jim, I've always liked the "Tailgunner setup" but haven't used it this year!! May have to break it out!!! It's certainly a deadly technique!!!!
