The deeper the water, the slower the retrieve.” The shallower the water, the faster the retrieve. “I can see it coming back to the boat like a spinnerbait. “I throw it over shallow, submerged grass and watch it,” Swindle said. Some anglers attach spinnerbaits to the center wire to create even more commotion.įlorida anglers can fish Alabama rigs all year long, anytime bass focus on shad. In water with limited visibility, anglers may opt for baits with curled or ribbon tails to create more vibration. To make baits stand out in discolored water, add color to the outside arms or use baits that create greater silhouettes such as white or black. Johns River or the Harris chain of lakes. However, it can also provoke strikes in stained water, such as on the St. With an array of baits, an Alabama rig primarily attracts fish through visual enticement, making it a great choice for fishing the clear water prevalent in many Florida lakes. I’ll put a shad color with green metal flakes on the outside and on the inside I’ll use a white bait.” Additionally, I never use all five baits in the same color. About 90% of the time bass focus on the bigger baits. I always put junior flukes on the outside with a big fluke in the center. The most effective combination for me has been swimming flukes with paddle tails. “When bass want it, they hit it like a freight train. “I’ve caught bass over eight pounds on it,” Swindle said. However, most anglers attach swimbaits, grubs, flukes or similar soft plastic shad and minnow imitations. With five places to try different baits simultaneously, anglers can rig any number of combinations including jerkbaits, spinnerbaits and crankbaits. Other fish jump on the remaining baits.”Īlthough several companies make various configurations, an Alabama rig usually consists of five spreader arms to present multiple baits. When the first fish hits, just continue to fight it slowly. It’s actually possible to catch five bass on one cast. “I’ve caught hundreds of doubles and a few triples.

“I’ve been throwing an Alabama rig since late May 2011,” said Jimmy Mason (), a bass pro and guide from Rogersville, AL. Even on single stickbaits equipped with multiple trebles anglers sometimes catch two bass at a time as one fish tries to steal the bait from the other. Frequently, aggressive fish try to steal baits dangling from the mouths of hooked fish. The same concept applies in freshwater by provoking a competitive feeding instinct. The multiple bait rigs mimic baitballs and often send fish into a feeding frenzy. The deeper the water, the slower the retrieve.įor years, saltwater anglers have been using dredge teasers to troll multiple baits to tempt dolphin, wahoo, king mackerel, billfish and other pelagic species. Baitfish are normally in schools and rarely alone, so when bass see a school of baitfish they react.” A bass is programmed to feed more on schools of baitfish than on single minnows. “An Alabama rig looks like a school of minnows or shad,” explained Gerald Swindle, a bass pro from Warrior, AL.
