Hello, I'm going to be getting into umbrella rig fishing and I'm not sure what some good rigs are, I thought I'd go on here and ask you guys. What are some good Alabama rigs that aren't super expensive, also what are some good swimbaits to put on a alabama rig? 

I can’t advise you on the Arig itself as I make my own.  On the bait my best days have come using white pearl flukes.

I have few already, but today if I want to buy ill buy this:

Can’t go wrong with Dirty jigs and Hog Farmer Flex A-Rig, not cheap but works good. Hard to beat Keitech Fat Impact swimmers. Trash Fish work great but pricey.

Picasso is another good brand.

California we can only have 3 jigs hooks.

what rod / reel do you plan to use?

What do you think of the 3 jig hooked a rigs with smaller fakes on the rig, any luck here in Cali with them or do you get alot of misses?

The most important elements with A-Rig is movements by the wires to allow swimmer action change of pace. Bass 99% of the time strike from underneath or sideways and get hook by the jigs. If the bass also strike the teasers it doesn’t matter as long as they get hooked. Never had a fake swimmer get ripped off without the bass being hooked.

Thanks Tom! I plan to use either my lews super duty or Abu Garcia revo x on a lews Mach 1 swimbait rod

I'd go with this one. They also have a model with blades.
