Top Pro Tips on the Alabama Rig

Hog Farmer five wire eight blade castable umbrella rig

It’s been 14 years since Paul Elias introduced the Alabama Rig to the wider bass fishing world with a dominant win in an FLW event on Guntersville. As anglers lined up to buy them at any price from parking lot salesmen, it set the fishing world ablaze with controversy – and that was before social media outrage had fully matured. The top level tours quickly banned them, but at some levels (and when fun fishing) you can still fish some form of the rig in most states. It’s not the population-destruction machine that some expected it to be, but it can still be super-effective in the right circumstances. If you want to use one, check out the following expert tips on how to get the most out of the A-Rig.
