Cost of the Alabama Rig

[psvec]

By the time you buy the jigheads and the swimbaits and the braid if you don't already have a rod with braid that big on it it gets pretty expensive

you are so right, A buddy gave me one. by the time i bought the rest of the stuff i was out 40 bucks

I seen them Saturday at Backwaters in Lexington for 20 bucks unpainted, and 25 painted. They appeared to be good quality, but certainly not cheap.

after everything you need for it...your throwing a outfit that is around $40 bucks into the water. And I thought a Lucky Craft CB was expensive. Im not getting to caught up in the craze of the Alabama Rig. Yea..did it win a big tourmanent on Barkely..yes it did. But I also heard that there were others throwing it and didn't catch much. 2place...3rd place..they wen't throwing the rig...I've got one rig I've fixed up...it looks great..But I have to see it to believe it. Just chuck it out there and reel it in...they say.!?

I was just as big of a skeptic as you are, and it's understandable....However, after spending a week on KY Lake at the beginning of November, I now own 2 of them....On the 2nd day of our classic I threw my only A Rig off first thing in the morning and didn't have a backup....My partner proceeded to catch 30-40 fish that day and I never boated a single one.....I threw everything in the boat at them, including the exact swimbait he was throwing on his rig but as a single swimbait....Can you catch fish other ways, sure, but it definitly made a believer out of me

They have them at Dixie Marine for $15.00, I was very tempted to get one. After reading this, I might have to make another trip up to grab one.

Well I am making a bunch and thinking of selling them. For around $20. I laser welded the wires together.
