Has anyone used the Alabama Rig?
If so, any luck?
Just got one and am looking to try it out next chance I get.

I got one and will be trying it out (in the rain) this weekend. I will keep you posted as to whether or not it was a good investment.

can you imagine loading that rig with fresh dead shrimp in place of the lures?
or live mullet?

Make sure and take a picture when it get's all tangled up on itself so we can all see why we didn't buy one.

how about rigging it with small silver spoons and kayaking the 3rd bar on a calm summer day.
When I trolled for reds at Calaveras lake in s.a., I used tiny silver Tony Acetta spoons to match the threadfin shad.

LOL
I thought of that, also.
The pro's that used them were chunking baitcasters long distances.
Not much tangle problems for them, that I saw, but it was edited, of course.

A tangle here and there is small potatoes when people using it are catching more fish and winning more money for those that use it..............................

| I don't see it could tangle up unless you get snag on something. The design is pretty nice and you can spread the wire enough where they won't touch another. |

That's not what I've heard from the guys that have actually used them.

Did anyone see the only guy fishing during the cleanup around the 7? We passed him as we came back in and he had one of those tied on. Definition of "Optimist"

| I still think it would be worth a shot, 14.99 aint to bad, I've lost shark leaders that cost more than that. |
