Default "Alabama Rig"

So I was watching Versus this morning and they were showing one of the FLW Bass ttournaments.

On the final day, EVERY pro left in the tourney was throwing a lure called the "Alabama Rig."

Funny thing....us Chesapeake area Rockfish guys call them umbrella rigs.

The only difference was that they were loading their rigs up with 5 3" to 4" swimbaits......basically trying to keep the entire rig under 6 ounces since they were casting it hundreds of times each.

It was pretty cool watching them pull in fish from 3 tom 7 pounds, and a few guys had 2 fish on each rig.

Help a brother out....what do you mean? It looked like a smaller version of the same umbrella rig that a lot of people troll with.

Do you mean it would be illegal for freshwater species?

Is my brain not working yet and I'm missing the obvious?


Oh wait.....is it the multiple hooks per rig?

You're only allowed to have two hooks per rig, it probally would work good though, it could get frustrating if the fish kept hitting the lures with no hooks

If the center lure has the hook and is slightly back from (behind) the other four, wouldn't you think the bass would hit that one the majority of the time first?

The other four would be the "Teasers".

No different then trolling, just a castable version.

I "think" the ones I saw on tv had a hook for each lure. But I might try the small umbrella rig for an area of the Pocomoke that I think would be AWESOME for a rig like this. Of course I'll keep it MD legal. The Bass and Pickerel would likely go nuts on it.
