I'll be using a small, five bait rig in a club tournament this weekend.  I doubt anyone else in the club will.

Off topic, but I can't catch anything on the A-rig.

 

Still can't. LOL

One to many lures are banned by some states it makes sense FLW and really all cross country Tournaments ban this, why deal with state laws when you don't have to?  I personally feel that there are others ways to catch them and glad they got rid of it.

Maybe where I fish here in Va is different but I haven't found the A-Rig to be particularly productive or to be magic fish cathing machine...Not sure why they couldn't use it. A lure is a lure is a lure....in my opinion. I think pros can catch fish on anything. It's not the lure that's so important as is the ability to consistently find fish....that amazes me more than what they catch em' on. I don't think it's unfair at all.

BASS & FLW can ban it but ill still use it as long as the DNR allow it its just another tool in my arsenal annd pretty effective on schooling or suspended fish
