Alabama Rig
The Alabama Rig has left a permanent impression on the sport of bass fishing. After the impressive win by Paul Elias at the FLW Tour Open on Lake Guntersville, anglers began to experiment with their own versions of the multi-lure contraption. The phenomenon caught wild-fire and spread throughout the country. Reports of 35lb bags from Clear Lake in California and Lake Fork in Texas were substantiated by tournament results and fishing guide photos.
Anglers can choose to use any number of baits on the 5 wire contraptions, but the most popular and what appears to be the most effective rigging method is attaching 5 swimbaits. There are many swimbaits that will work well with this contraption, but a few of the most commonly used are:
- Basstrix Paddle Tail
- Keitech Fat Swing Impact
- Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper
- Little Creeper Trash Fish
- Berkley Hollow Belly

Whichever Alabama Rig you choose to use remember that the most important consideration is the jig heads used for the swimbaits. Be sure to place the heavier jig heads on the bottom wire or wires in order to keel the bait correctly. We suggest 1/4oz as the heavy jig heads and the 1/8oz as the smaller jig heads.
Also - due to restrictions in some states anglers may only have 3 hooks. We sell the Calabama Rig - a rig that has 3 wires each of which has a spinnerbait blade in order to look like a larger school of fish. Anglers can also use Owner Twist Lock centering pins and attach swimbaits as teasers without the hooks.
