Who here has tried it out? Sounds like a cool idea.

How much fishing time did it take to catch a triple? Those 3 fish put absolutely no fight at all, either the set up hampered the fishes ability to battle or it was staged and the fish were already tired out. That set up does not interest me a bit, for open water I'd stick with light tackle.

It's kind of a variation of an umbrella rig.

Illegal in MN.... just like everything else

Does sort of look like a perch jerking setup, or one of those offshore attractor rigs they use when trolling.

Gives me an idea for tying up a Dropshot Sabiki Rig!

The few times I caught doubles on a crankbait, the two bass would come in spiraling together with no fight at all. They seem to get in each other's way, or whatever.. not saying this video was or was not staged, I have no way to know that. Paul Elias says he caught doubles on that rig more than a few times, too.

What interests me about the rig is that you can simulate a school of baitfish, that in itself I find really cool. If you can put 5 hudds on that rig, and have a sturdy enough rod to cast and fish that - it'd weigh more than 20 ozs - you have 5 stupid stocked trouts swimming along slowly!

That's what I was going to say. It's only happened a few times for me, but when the 2nd fish bites, the "fight" becomes weight.

I ordered mine on the second day of tourney so I'll let y'all know how it works in a week. The company is know back ordered for five weeks glad I got mine ordered early

I just noticed this post SirSnook and imediately thought the same thing. I just finished a post on a similar thread In the General Bass Fishing Forum saying it was a saltwater rig making it's way to freshwater prior to viewing your post.

Until you don't realize there's an abrasion in the line and break off $100 worth of baits in 1 cast.

I think it looks neat, but would just be situational. It seems like it would work well in the fall and summer on schools.

just what i need, a rig that i can lose 5 baits instead of just one. LOL

Not much difference between a sabiki rig, chicken rig and the freshwater dropshot rig.

JMO, but I find it way too expensive. Besides, it's illegal here in TN.

The owner/inventor has been winning tournaments with the rig.

I fished Make-A-Wish out of McFarland Harbor (Florence, AL) a

couple of weeks ago. The Alabama Rig won that tournament, too.

And I thought the Alabama rig is when you put your bullet sinker on your line backwards.

Oops. That is the Arkansas rig.

Sorry.

Alabama Rig. Call me undecided, very undecided. Whats after it?

We need a Virginia rig.. Come on fellow Virginians, we can do it.

TWRA amended the rule for Tennessee. We'll be able to throw it...with 3 hooks of any size. The other two baits would not be able to have hooks.

LOL, why can you only throw it with three hook points, when you can legally throw a jerkbait with nine?

Who knows... The original rule was if 3 or more baits were being use on one line the hooks could be no larger than #6's. I guess its a decent compromise.

I made a knock-off of it a few minutes ago. Took me about 5 minutes to put it together. Cost less than $6 for the parts.

That won't get bit, it doesn't have a pretty paint job!

It does now, I "painted" the head and swivel aluminum ferrules with a black magic marker so the fish won't be "attracted" to the bright metal, LOL.

I am going to give it to a guy that has a tournamet soon since he can't find any of the "real thing" and was wanting to know how make some.

Do you use lures of all the same color, to imitate a school of baitfisf or do you mix the colors up?
