What is your favorite swimbait to use on an Alabama Rig? Please include brand, size, and color.  Thanks so much for your help.

little creepers makes a good a rig minnow thats a step below their flagship model

Berkley 3" redeye swimbait. Anything that matches the hatch... and these swimbaits are very durable.

 

Looks cool...

Missile baits shockwave in either she that they are made. Colors wise I like any shad color.

Yum mud minnow for me pearl white color.  They actually give you some of these baits with the flash mob and flash mob jr I think.  They are very durable and stay on the jighead well.  At first I was using SK shadalicious hollow bodied baits and didnt like them as well as solid body swimbaits.  The hollow bodies have a little more rolling action when fished on a jighead that I like when fishing a single swimbait but I dont really like it on A rigs.  They also tear up easier even though I used super glue to attach them to the jigheads.  I know of one lake close by where they murder an A rig this time of year, basically if you wanna win a tournament there right now you better be throwing it.  Another lake I fish even more often, they wont touch the thing.  The lake that they eat it good on is a little bit clearer water so I think maybe that is what makes the difference.

5 Huddleston Deluxe 8 in models. Specifically the ROF 12 and 16's to help get the rig down.

Wew you'd need a telephone pole to cast that rig lol. I don't even think the dobyns 908 is a match for that!

PowerTeam Lures 4.8" Swinging Hammer as the primary and the 4.5" Curly Tail Grubs or 3.6 JP Hammershads as the teasers.  The Swinging Hammer has the best tail action and thump I have ever used in a soft plastic swimbait. 

Most of you probably have not heard of them, but the best combo of durability and tail thump is the Matrix Shad.   It's sold by a gentleman in Slidell, Louisiana.   It's huge all over Louisiana and Mississippi.   I've fished them in the salt for the past few years.  Kid you not, it was not uncommon for us to go through 40 trout or more on one bait.   And trout have teeth by the way.   And the tail thump is so pronounced that you feel it on the retrieve.   They are about 4 inches, maybe just shy of that.   Great colors too.  Perfect for the Alabama rig.  Better thump than all of the above baits, and more durable by far.
