    Alabama Rig

    Have you guys seen the Alabama Rig? Would you ever use one? How long do you think before it gets banned from tournaments? This is not so far fetched for offshore or striper fishing but you would think bass would see 5 swimbaits tied to a huge mess of metal wires, swivels, etc. We worry about braid and mono being visible but there's no hiding a wire! anyways they are catching some big fish and stringers on this rig. just wanted to know what you guys thought. Plus the name of this thing makes me sick! Geaux Tigers!

    They probly assume its a school and just attack it.

    I'll try anything once. I made a couple last night but haven't had a chance to try them in the water yet. I'll bet a red fish would put some damage on one of those rigs.

    I think it's douchey to call it an "Alabama Rig". It's an Umbrella rig, end of story. When i throw a worm, hook and bullet weight, I dont' call it a Louisiana rig, just b/c I live in LA.

    Re: Alabama Rig (JOSH R)

    Not sure how good it would work in our shallow grassy waters. Seems like more of a deeper water suspended fish deal but give us an update on how it works out.

    For as the Alabama rig people been using front runners ahead of spools or jigs as weights on drop shots for years. No different to me!

    AR panic...what a crock

    a re-post but here is my take on the AR...since apparently MediaBass has just banned it..
    =====
    So now boats have to undergo a "tackle check for ARs"? What a joke!!!

    Let the bait go for a fishing year...then carefully look at all the T's...
    the Top 10 finishes, etc...DO YOUR HOMEWORK...one event does not
    make a sure thing...as we all KNOW in fishing.

    Then, if somehow, someway this is a magic UNFAIR bait...act accordingly...
    I still think its a CROCK...since most all pros will have 3 in their boat the next
    6 months or longer...

    Smells like some people like the bank beaters...hummm.
    As we watched KVD hammer big offshore schools of bass...
    nobody said to ban XD cranks going over 15 feet...

    THIS IS ONE MASSIVE OVER REACTION CROCK...smells also like some bait makers are behind this...sales are sales...and sales lost are big $$$.
    5 bass is still the limit and no angler is prevented from buying this bait...
    HydroWave and super electronics are fine but this gets hammered so soon...
    NONSENSE TO ME...

    Its usually the $$$$$$

    Follow the $$$...
    Many bait makers have a LOT to lose if anglers stop buying anything for deeper waters and just troll da shad school, so to speak...

    Those 4 ft fishermen that live in the shallows all the time have a chill run up their spine IF (IF IF) this AR thing actually is equal to or better than what KVD has been cranking bigger bass out of deeper waters the past few years with...

    Always ask yourself...who will be hurt/affected/lose $$$? when any issue arises...
    I may have missed a couple of undercurrent things myself.

    Just my gut its a premature over reaction with little data...
    maybe limit any bait to 3 with a total of 6 hooks after year unrestricted IF the data is very convincing and let us all alone!

    Re: Its usually the $$$$$$ (reelman)

    I saw one of the rigs early Oct at the mid south rally. It has five wires with small spinners on each wire. The guy I was fishing with caught 2 on it while I caught nothing. Would love to get in a school of big sac a lait with one
