Alabama Rig??

[stratosjoe]

Is there anyone out there that thinks they should be illegal besides me? If they work as well as they say give a dozen meateaters those things and see what happens to your favorite honey hole.

I see it no different than a multiple fluke rig. basically same concept.

Look..you are thinking way too deep into this, IMO...The creel limits are what they are..regardless of what you are fishing...and the rig is not magic--it has as much to do with where as what...and how many meateaters would spend $35-$45 per lure (rig+jig heads+swimbaits).

Besides, where the latest variation of this rig was made (Pickwick Lake), I guarantee you, the live shad guys that cut the heads off 5 lb. brownies will outfish the A-Rig guys all day long...but those guys are another topic altogether.

[stratosjoe]

yeah you guys are probably right plus this will probably pass in a few months too once everyone buys one.

many states have 1 lure per rod rules......this is 5 lures per rod.....I am surprised that people think it should be ok.

I make my own Ala. rigs and in my state,Indiana your are allowed two hooks per line. Those hooks can be two trebles(crankbait) or two singles (dropshot)style. What I do is use two single hooks on two of the baits and the other two baits are attached to wires with hitchhikers&lt; no hooks.

Flukes, grubs, swim flukes and swim Senkos all look great on these things but I only use four wires instead of the normal five. When I first tried one I thought it would be a twisting nightmare but found it was tangle free and suprisingly weedless.

they are now legal in Indiana to use

I really don't see any difference between catching 5 fish at a time on an A rig, versus someone going out and catching 40 -50 fish out of a school on a crankbait. The limit is still the same. JMO
