Of course, everyone is talking about the Alabama Rig.
The Texas rig has been around for years, and the Carolina rig is still very popular.
Got me to thinking about some other rigs that are named after other states in the US?
Florida Rig-live shiner hooked to a jig made from Roland Martin's hair. (Oh, Son!)
Missouri Rig- gloveless hands reaching into catfish holes, originally popularized by a guy named 'Lefty'
California Rig- a "good buzz" bait, made entirely of environmentally-friendly material that is tied to spun hemp instead of fishing line. You can really cast this thing Far Out, Man!
Illinois Rig- a very "fishy' method of using dead people to register for B.A.S.S. tournaments. Was originally used during the 1960 election and only catches Democrats!
Minnesota Rig-a topwater bait made of an old Hamm's beer can. (It's a big-time deal der, eh?)
Arkansas Rig- a cigar-shaped jerkbait, also called a "Lewinsky".
Alaska Rig- what did Sarah Palin catch her fish on? I don't know, but Alaska!
Hawaii rig- barb-less, grass-skirted jig with a head made from a macadamia nut. Also called a "lakahooki"
Oklahoma Rig-any product endorsed by Jimmy Houston that does not catch fish, and that would be pretty much all of them!
West Virginia rig-catches fish that have never been in a school
Massachusetts rig-use beans for chum, and catch fish in the 'hah-bah'.
Michigan rig- Kevin Van Dam in any tournament! How good is this guy?
Tennessee Rig-wearing an orange and white "T" hat signed by Bill Dance and throwing a Silver Buddy on a Billy Westmoreland rod while drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Washington, DC rig-pretty obvious! A lot of lies about how the fishing is improving all around the country!
Kansas Rig-are you kidding? Nothing good comes from Kansas!
