I recently purchased a couple, from a baitshop in Little Rock and have heard people using them with pretty good success. They are smaller and lighter from the bass versions. I am headed tomorrow to try them out, just wanted to see if anyone else has experimented with them yet.
alaBama rigs..sorry for the spelling
Never seen one as far as I know.
What is an Alabama rig?
Here you go it's just an umbrella rig.Shad School Umbrella Rig, Fishing In Florida, Tennesse, Alabama etc .035 wire | eBay
Never seen one. Let us know how it worked out.
I lose enough jigs using one at a time.

Lesson learned today, stay home on the weekends, those elite bass fishermen throwed them damn things within a few feet of my boat all morning....I may not be even tempered enough to fish weekends....the boat wakes reminded me of my time living on the beach in southern California..the waves never stopped....most of them ought to still be wearing diapers.

.[/QUOTE So that is what an Alabamy rig is. I thought that thing was some kind of a snag line.
What was the name of the baitshop? I have heard about them. Would like to look at one in person. Don't know if I would use one. Just cursious. Thanks.

HAHA!!! Now that's getting after em. RTARK thats what them ole boys were throwing the other day when we were fishing and I said what the heck is that. Would have been nice to see em catch something on it when we were watching em. LOL watch out Wayne will have 8 poles with two of them apiece rigged on
each pole.
sounds like a CWMD (crappie weapon of mass destruction)! Hey Wayne, sign me up as your 1st mate !!!

THESE BASS RIGS TOO STEEP FOR MY WALLET!
Cha-Ching!!! I looked at the price on e-bay that Nimrod sent. That is a little pricey for my taste or needs. One fish at a time will be fine (and a lot cheaper).

I bought one from Fish n Stuff in Sherwood for $12.95. They have some with spinners on them for @29.95 , I thought I would try the cheaper one first.
Holy cow...that thing better fillet'em for you at that price...Quote:

If you look on craigslist ion Little Rock someone is selling them there a little cheaper
Looks to me like that thing would scare the fish!! :yikes I'm interested to see if anyone catches crappie on them. If they do, I'd like to know if they caught them at a greater rate than single pole, or two poling! Hope someone whose using one of those will post how they did.
I already got close to 20 jigs coming thru the water covering a 30' strip now. Think I'll hold off on this umbrella rig but cant wait to see some pics with crappie hanging off 'em.Thumbs Up
I used it at maumelle about 3 weeks ago and caught 3...all singles. Nothing like advertised. Hope someone else can catch a few at one time and post a pic
I've yet to see the crappie versions but they've had umbrella rigs out for crappie for a long time now. I can't see where this would be any different. It resembles a pile of bait fish so I'm sure it would work great for trolling out in open water, flats, channel edges with little structure to sang on.
I hear ya there. I usually run at least 2 rods with 2 baits offset about 3' so all together I got 4 jigs running together already myself.Quote:

If you are a maker of these rigs and stumble up on this thread, Send 3 of them to Creekslick. If he can catch them trolling (thats all he does) I will be a buyer. Only if he gives it his approval.
I'll take anything free and that includes lunch.:yikes:biggrin
I will give you one but ya have to come in Higdon Bay and take with ya ! (:

Here are the pictures of the umbrella jigs my buddy is making local... Works great for both casting and trolling. PM me if you are interested.
Come over to Mystic Isle and we will go up Middle Fork.Quote:
