Glue maybe.

Add Salt, Pepper, more tenderizer and your Favorite BBQ sauce. It's falling off the bone.

Ill bet It's the ones that have never tried it or caught fish on it that are complaining. Your right lines do haft to be drawn...but when we haft to draw the line over the alabama rig ...lord help us.Just Sayin.

Notice in my post that I said the line has to be drawn some where but where is the question. I'm not saying it should be drawn at the Ala rig. There has been major advances in fishing electronics, boats and techniques over the last few years to increase the fishermans chances. Every advantage for us is another disadvantage for the fish, hence, the line has to be drawn somewhere. Hope I cleared that up.

I have seen so many advances in equipment and knowledge, more fishermen on the water even during the week increasing pressure on the resources. I keep wondering when we will start see'n declines in our fisheries to the point of limiting fishing days with seasons, limits, and or methods. We are blessed to have so good of fisheries here. Lots of states have had to limit fishing to perserve the resource. I would hate to see fishing seasons and reduced limits, hope it never gets that bad here.

We use one (1) hook per pole .....that's all we have ever needed. Tried a double rig one time in a tournament and wound up cutting the second hook off after the first couple of hours because in our opinion it wasn't helping. BTF, we got a first in the tourney (Crappie USA 2/18/12). If it gets to the point that I have to throw a wad of hardware like the AL Rig to catch Crappie I'll start looking for a good nursing home!!!

A lure or bait is just another tool so is the alabama rig!!! yes in the right hands it is deadly with 5 arms and 5 swimbaits. The big high dollar crankbaits $25.00 ea for a handpainted special built one of a kind has 2 great big trebel hooks(TROKAR) with 3 points on each hook(6) total espically bad with the death grip(TROKAR) trebel hooks that will cut you just looking at them nothing has ever been said about banning these deadly baits. A carpenter does not have only one hammer he has many tools for the job and WOW they (carpenters) or good an expensive these days. On our (White river) trout waters they have gone to a no cull rule.Once you have your limit of trout in your livewell or stringer or cooler you must release the rest back to the water!!! catch as many as you want can only keep the limit.You just stop at one shy of the limit and keep catching trout as many as a 100 in a day.I know it trout!! You would'nt believe the money spent each on trout equipment not to mention the houses they are building so they can be close to the water!!!! Has not hurt the trout fishing yes they are stocked .Buy again our AGFC "World Class Trout Fishing" Some of the best if not the best in the World!!!! Several states have gone to this rule. Hope Arkansas Doesn't.The YO YO'S is something we see as a problem!!!They put them on every limb leave them forever and dead fish hanging from them.I kmow where one is now that was left last spring with a 2 lb crappie dangling from it the bones are still hanging from it know!!! It was left during high water ( can't reach) or we would have cut it down.

Guys this post was started by Mojorig for a survey on the Alabama Rig not trolling vs single poling. Let it go or I will delete every post that is not about the survey. Here lately every thread is getting hijack over who uses what and how many to catch fish and this need to stop period. This forum is for learning not a platform to push your way of fishing on the other guy or belittle him because he does not fish the way you do.

God was way ahead of the curve on protecting over fishig from us game hogs he invented the cold front stops me in my tracks every time
