The Alabama Rig

Is anyone throwing the Alabama Rig from their tube? I'm wondering how it could be stored on the tube and what kind of success rate it has.

I have it, love it. never nailed anything on it in fresh water, but have taken it out to salt and nailed me a barracuda and mackrel lol....the mackrel 2 at a time lol, good times...but ive thrown it out and castaic irvine laguna and nada lol...one day though

Jerdon , the Bama Rig is a great Rig to Throw , just need to make sure you have all the Proper Gear to throw it and work it effectively .  The Swimbait bite will be on again very soon as well, especially once the trout start stocking .

Heavy action rod with min of 20lb test to throw it. They do make a wrap you can use around the rig when not in use.

Just a heads up gentlemen. Freshwater umbrella rigs can only have a maximum of 3 hooks. In the salt (bays and ocean) you can have 5. I'd hate to see anyone get cited for that.

Thanks for the input guys!

Thanks for the head up Kobra, I did'nt even know that.

Yup gotta be careful in freshwater , they will check your rigs !!!  I am buying a few pieces at a time because the proper stuff you need to work these rigs properly is expensive . Don't want to be one of those guys with $2000 worth of useless swimbaits  (been hearing great things about the BTX A Rig and the Swaver at Perris and Skinner lately )

That's good info about the number of hooks. I would have never thought about it
