I figured these were coming

Kistler is making a rod specifically for the Alabama Rig. Doesn't look like they have it in stock but Tacklewarehouse does.

I haven't fished the A-rig yet but it seems to me most any flippin stick or swimbait rod would be ok wouldn't it? I kind of had my eye on the Quantum Greg Hackney model flippin stick for fishing these. It's has a parabolic action and seems like it would be a nice rod for this. It would also come in handy for flippin the docks at LOZ.

I use the skeet resee magnum crankbait rod 7' 10" heavy it works well.
