No Alabama Rig in B.A.S.S.

I am quite pissed.. After going out and buying all those supposed, "Banned in Tournament" miracle lures (Anyone wanna buy some unused banjo and flying lures?), they finally actually have one now.... and I don't have it. LOL

They need to define the definition of a lure. To me the most logical answer would be anything with a hook in it. By that definition you could use an alabama rig if you put blades or teasers on the other wires which I think is fair.

The definition of lure: "anything that attracts, entices, or allures." Since there's no mention of a hook one could assume that it's an option.

Keep in mind if you come to fish in TN, the A-rig isn't legal. Though if I read the reg correctly you could run one, but only one bait could have a hook. I think I'll stick to bass fishing with my fly rod.

Flyfish, there is a video on BassFan with information regarding its use in TN. According to it you can use one with three baits.

Yeah, I read that. Most of the rigs I've seen advertised are for 5 baits. In fact, the Nashville BPS circular had a 5 bait model on the front page. I was going to go over amd play dumb and see if the clerks knew the regs, and if they'd advise me not to use it in TN.
