Is the Alabama rig really the next new thing?! And do I need to buy one?

Matt

I guess it matters on the area waters you fish..i will never throw a rig even closely resembling an a-rig in any of the new york area waters i fish!. I hated like heck trolling umbrella rigs

for stripers on long island sound when i was younger and had no choice, and cant ever get my self to actually throw them from a bass rod.

I know its been blown-up in the past year on the b.a.s.s. circuit and it flat out has its place and time,but it's one technique i will never take part in.To each his own and if it works for some,i have no problem with that.

Targeting big bass is number on one my list..,not numbers..give me a jig,popper,worm,swimbait,frog or crank.

It's been discussed, ad nauseum, here. Do a search for it and read through the threads to pick out what you can. There's been a lot of good info already shared.

(FTR, it's not blown up in the past year, it's only since October.)

( Blown up in the PAST year Hooligan,october included..FTR) And you are correct about the stomach issues,just felt like puking a lil' because i missed the past threads.

Do they work hockey? everything has a time and a place.,do you NEED one,that's up to you...

I am waiting for the " What color Senko works best on the Alabama rig ?" questions to start. LMAO....
