ALABAMA! rig

[cphillips]

Ok, so how many of you have ordered one? I seen one of these for the first time on the G with a friend of mine that lives down there. It was laying in his floorboard while we were pre-fishing for the classic. I asked him what in the world it was and he kinda laughed and said he used it around shell beds. Boy if I had only known! He never offerd to use it that day. I guess the cats outta the bag now. The guy that makes and sells them had 43000 hits on his web site this morning. I looked while ago and it was at 77000 and counting @ 4:00 p.m. Now he has a 5 week backorder going. Funny stuff. Like kids at Christmas. I personally haven't ordered one. I can't help and think it will not be legal to use before long. From what I hear its not legal in Tennessee already.

I was glad to see Elias win that one though. I like that dude.

Bad thing is Andy doesn't have a patent on it. Heard thru the grapevine that Strike King was all over it already.

They're not too hard to make yourself...already had a friend make me a couple. They work great too!!! They are legal in Tennesse if they are riged with only three hooked baits but i did find out that dumby baits (lures with hooks cut off) still count as a hooked baits. Spinner bait blades however do not count so you can rig as many of those on as you want.

I belive the CBA has already outlawed them in any of there tournaments. I have been speaking with an offical from TWRA and they have been in a frenzy trying to make a decision due to the FLW tournament coming up on Kentucky lake. He is gonna let me know what that decision is as soon as he knows.

It is pretty bad when a new lure causes this much up roar from both fisherman and regulators!!
