BUYER'S GUIDE: UNIQUE A–RIGS, ALABAMA RIGS, RIGGING TRICKS, AND GEAR!

Today we're covering new innovations that completely change Alabama Rig Fishing! From lightweight rigs you can cast with BFS gear, to completely clear rigs, there are unique offerings in this category that will take the wariest Anti–Rig fisherman, and give them something to consider.

Alabama Rigs are an amazing tool to target big, lethargic fish. The way bass react to this schooling presentation is unlike any other lure. The downside of these rigs is how cumbersome they are to cast and retrieve! We've worked hard to develop rigs that are comfortable to fish, durable, and effective.

Below you'll find links to the exact rigs, baits, and components discussed in the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
