Won't be long before each and every state has a rig named after it!

Looks a little "hokey" to me. Maybe they can get, O what's his name, you know, Oh now I yes; Bill Dance to market it for them......

Hey Flylie, don't leave out Roland Martin,. He introduced us to the Helicopter Lure. And yes, I admit it, I have one but only one.

Alabama doesn't need a bass fishing rig named after it, Alabama is bass fishing.

Good catch. It is an umbrella rig. I've trolled with them in salt and they work quite well. Mmmmm, Mahi Mahi.

The Alabama rig can be trolled with but it is designed to be cast and cranked.

I've actually seen one and the difference between a standard umbrella and this is the wires are like spinnerbait wires, and they say the whole rig before baits is like 3/16th oz. I was fishing a tourney on Pickwick and a guy pulls up next to me and casts out and caught a fish on the first cast! After seeing that I came home and have been watching videos of it on youtube and found it very intriguing so thought I'd pass along....
