Bubble Rigs?
I have fished with bubble rigs before, but am not sure if my setup was correct. Can someone post a picture of their setup?

I've seen bubble rigs rigged-up many different ways. Make sure the narrow end of the bubble's stem is toward the rod, and the wide end is toward the straw. I use 40 lbs mono for my leader, 28 inches with #4 treble hook.

Pretty sure you mean wide end towards the straw. That way you push it in better as you jig it or cast, other way you are pushing the stem out.
People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

That's the way I always rig mine with the big part of stem toward straw. Also fluorocarbon leader is not needed on a bubble your working it so fast fish don't have time to see regular mono and it's cheaper.

Keep it simple, 50# mono with a big loop & bead at the top, small treble & straw at the bottom.

It's still jigs, lures and gotchas. Some on small cigs.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
