I was wanting to get into fishing the Alabama rig but I'm not sure what action or power rod to get. I was also wondering on the length of the if that matters at all... Just wanting some advice from the experienced A-Riggers.

I have no experience with the Alabama rig, but it looks like a job for a 7 ft Heavy rod. I will keep an eye on this thread for more experienced posters!

That's what I was thinking either that or an extra heavy

What rig are you looking to throw and what size baits and heads are you wanting to fish?  Smaller say flashmob jr rigs and 3-4" swimbaits with 1/8oz heads then a 7ft H will work.  If you're looking to throw larger size with the larger 4" baits and say 1/4 to 1/2 oz then you may want to step it up to something that can handle about 2oz.  I throw 2 different rods, one is a Green *** 7'7"MH.  I throw larger rigs but with 1/8oz heads and 3 1/2-4" swing impacts as well as smaller 3" dummy baits (CA can only fish 3 hooks).  I use this one when I want a bit stiffer rod for say hoping it off the bottom or slow rolling it.  Then I also use a 7'6"MH BPS Crankin Stick (old model) when they are wanting to eat it on the straight retieve.  I like the softer tip to keep them pinned and helps keep from pulling hooks since I prefer to use smaller 2/0-3/0 size ball style jigheads.  Feel it give the bait a better action.  You don't want something so stiff you pull hooks when you get bit, but something that gets overpowered by the rig.  

I don't have a lot of experience with throwing it, but I've asked this before. You'll definitely want a H or MH, depending on size as gulfcaptain said. I know a lot of guys go for the moderate action, and I can see why, as can gulfcaptain. I can't see why you wouldn't want the longest rod possible, unless you are throwing it in tight spots (wondering when that'd happen). So go pick up a big old swimbait rod on the FleaMarket page.

I use my flipping stick.

Check out tacticicall bassin' on youtube.  Matt Allen is the man when it comes to swimbaits and A rigs.

 

Side note why is *' or  tacticall bassin' blocked you have to misspell it.

I have the Irod genesis II "Bama rig special" and it's perfect. You really need something that can handle 2-4oz but has a parabolic bend to it. Any good swim bait rod will work.

Thanks for the help everybody, and I'm going with the smaller setup. I'll check them videos out too.

7 foot H is a fine rod I personally use a 7'7 H
