Flash Mob Jr runs upside down...

[Johnnyred]

I have fished the Yum Flash Mob Jr many times so not just one rig but many. They all are upside down at the end of my retrieve when they reach the boat no matter how I adjust the wires or the swimbait weights. I am pretty sure it stays upside down throughout most of the cast.

Anyone else run into this?

I realize the fish do not know that the "fish head" where you tie on is upside down but I expect it affects how the rig runs. The paddle tail swimbaits are upside down and might swim with better action if they were right side up?

Only weighted heads on bottom 3 No weight on top teasers.

This! Though I'd go with only the bottom 2. Or if you need to get it deeper, use heavier heads on the bottom 2 than the rest. Something like 1/8 on the top 3 and 1/4 on the bottom 2 should do the trick!

So in North Carolina we can run 5 hooks on an umbrella rig so I run all 5 when I have fished the Flash Mob Jr. I usually run the same weight jig head on all 5 positions. I have experimented with a bigger or heavier plastic on the middle or bottom arm(s) but have not got it to run true.

Just rig top ones1/8 oz and bottom ones heavier

Or you could use a plain swimbait hook / bare jig hook for the top ones.

Good suggestions both. I bet Yum balanced these with teasers on the top in mind. I will experiment more. Thx.

I don't know that it's a case of them being designed with teasers in mind. I've had no issues with 3 1/8 oz and 2 1/4 oz (with the 1/4 oz on the bottom) and didn't have any issues with it wanting to roll over. I've also thrown it successfully with 3 blades and 2 1/8 heads, and with 3 blades and 2 1/4 heads. No issues at all in any of those configurations. Part of me thinks you ended up with a dud, but I'm not really sure how something as simple as an A-rig, especially when they're made to be bent and twisted, could be a dud. Guess I've had swim jigs that wouldn't keel properly before, so it's possible!

If your wires are not bent identically and evenly, it will not run true. I honestly doubt it is something with the rig itself, more than likely the wire bends, swimbaits not rigged straight, or weights possibly.
