Any one doing it successfully? Tried cranks? Bought a few 2 arm "umbrella" rigs to tinker with, wondering if any ones tried it yet and how they faired?

I have successfully used a small umbrella rig. I have trolled on a downrigger, tightlined and cast it like a lure. Most success was casting. 50% crappie, 50% LM. Largest largemouth was about 4 lbs. The rig has been a keeper for me.
They will probably work pulling cranks but I think you will find them too heavy to longline jigs with.
