I have never tried rigging upside down myself.
However, I have had experience rigging them weightless and some spin upside down or sideways. They worked this way but it really bugs me to see them swim "wrong."

Yeah, like Tony said, wiseguy has been fusing them upside down lately. It does indeed give the bait a different action. It almost looks more squirmy. I like the action it gives the tail but I'm a stubborn old man and fish them the "standard" way lol

Ya that is where I saw it first, I got a message from Pete Wolf at BH and he said it has been used for the last 10 years, when someone accidentally rigged Big Hammers upside down but still killed it. I was just interested to hear everyone else's thoughts on this. I am with .:LOLLY:. I am stubborn I say I will try it but I probably wont.
