Introducing the YUM Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr., a finesse-style umbrella rig that’s compact, dazzling, and enhanced with four spinnerbait blades, perfectly emulating a small baitfish school. Serving as the younger sibling of the Yumbrella Flash Mob, this version boasts all the outstanding attributes while sporting a more streamlined size. Engineered with five robust, heat-treated stainless steel wires, the Flash Mob Jr. ensures an impeccable balance between strength and flexibility. High-quality, super strong snaps and swivels further solidify its performance, making it a reliable choice for engaging multiple fish simultaneously.

The Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr. offers the option of selecting either willow or Colorado blades. Willow blades deliver heightened flash and minimal vibration, excelling in clear water conditions. In contrast, Colorado blades emit stronger vibrations, proving effective in murky or stained water where bass rely on their lateral line to detect prey movement. Tailored for suspended bass and other predatory fish targeting baitfish, the Yum Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr. can be rigged with an array of lures, from soft plastic swimbaits and grubs to jig heads. Anticipate the potential for multiple hookups, necessitating a firm grip on your rod.

Measuring at a length of 5.5 inches from the tip of the head to the end of the middle wire, the Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr. offers an enticing presentation for a variety of gamefish scenarios. However, it’s essential to remember to adhere to your State’s fish and game regulations, as a fully rigged Yum Ultralight Flash Mob Jr. Rig might be restricted in certain regions.

Fishing tips for the Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr.

Match the Hatch:

Before selecting your blades, take into consideration the water clarity. In clearer waters, opt for willow blades that offer flash without excessive vibration. In murky or stained waters, Colorado blades with stronger vibrations might be more effective.

Experiment with Trailers:

Rig the Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr. with a variety of trailers. Soft plastic swimbaits, grubs, flukes, and even small jerkbaits can all make excellent choices. Match the color and size of the trailers to the prevalent forage in the water.

Vary Retrieval Speeds:

Bass can be enticed by a range of retrieval speeds. Try a slow and steady retrieve to mimic a school of baitfish moving leisurely, and then switch to a faster, erratic retrieve to imitate fleeing prey.

Work Different Depths:

Experiment with different depths in the water column. Cast the rig out and allow it to sink to different depths before starting your retrieve. This can help you figure out where the bass are holding.

Fan Casting:

If you’re targeting suspended bass or covering an area where fish might be scattered, use a fan casting approach. Cast in different directions, covering a wide area to locate active fish.

Pay Attention to Feedback:

Since the Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr. has multiple blades, you’ll receive feedback through your rod tip when the rig is working properly. If the blades are spinning smoothly, it’s likely in the correct speed range. If they’re not spinning or spinning too quickly, adjust your retrieve accordingly.

Trigger Reaction Strikes:

Use occasional twitches and pauses during your retrieve to trigger reaction strikes. The sudden change in movement can mimic injured or fleeing baitfish, enticing bass to strike.

Fishing Pressure:

The Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr. can be particularly effective in waters with high fishing pressure, as it presents a unique and enticing offering that bass might not have encountered frequently.

Be Prepared for Multiples:

Given the multiple hooks and blades, be prepared for the possibility of hooking into multiple fish at once. Maintain control over your rod and reel to prevent tangles.

Stay Legal:

Always adhere to your local fishing regulations and rules. Some areas might have restrictions on the number of hooks or rigs allowed.
