The Alabama Rig has taken the tournament world by storm. The contraption looks like something you would dangle over a baby’s crib, not something you would be casting to bass.
Although reminiscent of the old striper trolling rigs, this lure is far more advanced, and its castable. The Alabama Rig style bait is comprised of a central head with five wires running out from it. Each wire ends with a snap swivel for attaching a bait of your choice. A few of the popular rigging options include the Basstrix or Keitech swimbaits on jig heads, usually a 1/4oz model. Other anglers have rigged up spinnerbaits and buzzbaits with extraordinary success.
Jerry Rago has created his own version of the Alabama rig with an extremely realistic head. Take a look at Jerry Rago’s Bait Ball.
In some states including California, regulations only allow for three attached baits so an alternative method is shown on the description.
Whether you agree with the principle of the product or not, it is a proven fish catcher and tournament winner.
