Rage Tail Eeliminator

Outfish the boater: Eeliminator, C-rigged

I have seen no evidence of increased mortality. Meat hunters? Not. The rig is somewhat technical, requires a boat and is too expensive for most "catch & keep" guys. The vast majority of C&K fishermen around here target catfish, crappie, white bass, sauger and bream. They will keep a bass, but don't catch many by accident. Comparing the A-rig to a gill net is simply ridiculous.

Saturday, February 18, 2012 was two days ago, not last fall. More importantly, lots of guys are enjoying the best fishing in their whole lives RIGHT NOW! http://www.timesdaily.com/stories/Hauling-in-anglers,187168?content_source=&category_id=&search_filter=big+bass&event_mode=&event_ts_from=&list_type=&order_by=&order_sort=&content_class=&sub_type=stories&town_id=

Man, I just rigged up a light 6" silver flutter spoon with a BIG red treble hook. It's beautiful!

Correct, but you don't need keel weights or a jig head on the swimbaits. Most guys are using a bigger soft plastic swimbait in the middle, but Andy Poss, the inventor of the rig, told me to use some blade for flash in the middle. I have been experimenting and will post future results after testing a few different presentations. I'm striving for the lightest possible combination and am open to suggestions.

Wrong...swivels are required. Strong components are needed to keep the rig from spinning and to recover the rig when it gets hung up. I lost one yesterday due to a weak o-ring. Glenn posted a tip from the Pros: The most important addition to the rig is a connecting swivel.

My rig weighs less than 2 oz, but after casting constantly for about 10 hours and over 100 lbs of fish, my shoulder is killin' me! Next time I'm going to use an underhanded pitch exclusively.

Special lures have sparked a surge in the ability to catch both numbers and size. The first plastic worm by Creme Lure Company comes to mind. Rat-L-Trap, Jitterbug, Devil's Horse, spinnerbait, Floating Rapala, Senko and most recently the paddle tail swimbait. Today we are living in another epic era with the introduction of the Alabama Rig. Some will argue that the A-Rig is just a modification of an old, very well know saltwater tool, the Umbrella Rig. I think that is, for the most part, true. However, the application is new to most freshwater anglers. What is "special" is best illustrated by what is happening on the reservoirs of the Tennessee River. The first big breakout was at a professional tournament on Guntersville. But what is more remarkable is what has been happing since then. Over the past several months more double digit bass have been reported on Pickwick than we have heard about since I moved to the region in 1997. For at least two prior decades Pickwick was know to locals as "The Dead Sea". Water quality is a huge factor, but what I am noting in this thread is how a new presentation has effected the bass population, specifically the sleeping giants. Giant fish don't just happen. For the most part, they survive to great size simply because they cannot be caught. Dotti is a well documented example. She was caught three times, but ONLY during the Spawn. Big fish like Dotti are simply uncatchable most of the year and for most of their life! The phenomenon that is occuring on the Tennessee River and throughout the South will be duplicated in the North this spring and summer. The A-Rig eliminates big fish inhibitions, they think they are attacking a school of bait! The Alabama Rig is a big deal, perhaps THE BIGGEST in our lifetimes.

I have Hotdawg in two weeks with ghoti. and Long Mike. We're real excited, especially after seeing your pics!

Germantown public parks. Neshoba is behind Chick-fil-A (Germantown Parkway/ Wolf River) Grove is near Houston Middle School There are three ponds on the north side of Humphries between Germantown Parkway and Baptist Hospital.

Great day! Next on your To Do List: Alabama Rig

All of our fish were caught on a Johnson Silver Minnow fished as the center lure on an Alabama Rig.

Well, we killed 'em yesterday. Posted pics in "Fishing Reports", "Pickwick Is On Fire!".

No, but Delaware Valley Tackle does a GREAT job and they are a sponsor! http://www.delawarevalleytackle.com/

Check out the Home Page. That's me in the upper right with a nice green fish caught on the 3.5 (purple back/yellow belly).

I caught my biggest bass of 2011 at Collierville Civic Center in December on a GMAN Jig and Rage Tail Craw. Last month I didn't have any luck with numbers, but caught a few 7-8# at Grove Park. Have not fished Neshoba in awhile. I will probably fish Collierville tomorrow morning. -Kent p.s. Check out "Picwick Is On Fire!" in the Fishing Reports section. We had a big day yesterday.

Please reserve a seat for me for one day. -Kent

Geez!

#12 Yo-Zuri Hybrid

FEBRUARY 18, 2012 PICKWICK ONE HUNDRED POUNDS OF FISH ALMOST KILLED ME!!

I'm just saying light line doesn't necessarily make the rig ultralight.

Detach, they are connected in the manufacturing process. This combined with the packaging delivers the baits in perfect condition, exactly as they were designed.

No. The fish in my Avatar were caught using a PR844C/ Stella 2500FD/ Yo-Zuri Hybrid #4. Thin, virtually invisible line, but definitely not an "ultra light" set-up.
