Your opinion on the Alabama rig?

[joedog]

My biggest question is why? Other than maybe Tourney fishing (and probably then too) if I could catch 3 or more large bass from one area, I would much rather catch them one at a time and enjoy the battle multiple times as opposed to one battle. Just me, I'm fishing for the joy of catching not the joy of decorating my wall.

I think this rig capitalizes on the active fish in a school... how many time have we caught 2 or 3 fish from fish in the jumps and then they shut down?

Being able to catch 3 in one cast as opposed to 3 in 3 casts just maximizes the opportunity.

you guys think if i JB welded the wires together it would be heavy enough?

New concept to bass fishing? Looks a lot like a striper rig,and the multiple fluke rig,difference there it is one in front of another.
At 25 ea sold out ,one is on ebay for a buy it now for 100 dollars lol,buy that then turn on your sound device for 800,imitating feeding shad or whatever-guaranteed success.
All you need is money from your pocket to theirs.
Obviously on schoolers it is an advantage as can catch more than 1 at a time,notice I said can,as often they follow each other in when hooked.
My own opinion both sound devices and such lures should be banned from any T.
And not legal to use in many states including Tn,sort of limits its usage as many states have a 2 or 3 lure, rod or line limit.

No not reading it wrong two.
Depends upon locale somewhat two,three or no reg at all.
During trout season one in some states,regardless of intended target,if trout season open one rod,one line,one lure(W.Va.)unless that has been changed moved 5 years ago..
A great many states have such laws,and this lure as is violates them,it could be modified for use elsewhere where regs apply.
Sold out and most people who have bought them cant legally use them,as is,or as being used with 5 lures each with hooks

Was just wondering about all those lines and wires. If the fish can see them and still strike the baits why is everyone worried about fish seeing fishing line? Maybe they get so excited seeing all those baits they forget about the seeing the line thing. Anyway I would use it just for the fun of it. Still not sure if I feel it should be used in compitition.

NFE, you can remove the three trebles that come on those larger jerkbaits and repalce the front and rear with a size larger (*Owner) treble. Your hook-up ratio (in the fish rather than your hand) should not be compromised. I sometimes do that, especially when fishing for pike in Canada. I actually prefer the two larger hooks when dealing with the bigger pike, seems they don't bend those hooks or throw them as easily as the three smaller hooks.
