First?

Ok, I'll go first! What is your favorite go-to Calico rig and why?

I really like using Weedless Swimbaits. You can rig them on weightless to weighted hooks up to 1.5oz. This will allow you to fish a variety depths and speeds depending on what the fish are wanting that day.

I like the rapala hard baits about 6-7 inches long. Troll them around or over the kelp.

You can never go wrong with war baits. The variety of fish you can hook up to is insane.

I like hardbaits as well, but I am mostly a cast and retrieve kind of guy. The plastics give you a little more versatility.

Haven't targeted in a few years. Prior to the red crab invasion I had my best days using 1-1.5 oz yellow warbait with a skirt and a 5" green BH. Head into the thickest kelp you can find then drop, retrieve, move, repeat.

I've had recent luck with a weedless jig head and big hammer swimbait. Now if they were only larger..
