Alabama Rigs
Alabama Rigs & Umbrella Rigs for Bass Fishing
Discover our selection of Alabama rigs (A-rigs) and umbrella rigs that allow you to fish multiple lures simultaneously to imitate a school of baitfish. These rigs are deadly for targeting bass feeding on shad and other schooling baitfish.
Why Alabama Rigs Work:
- School Imitation: Multiple baits mimic a school of baitfish
- Triggers Reaction Strikes: Bass can't resist attacking a school
- Covers Water: Search bait for locating active fish
- Deep Water Effectiveness: Excellent for offshore structure and suspended bass
Rigging Options:
- 3-wire, 5-wire, and tournament-legal configurations
- Pair with swimbaits, paddle tail minnows, or flukes
- Weighted heads for different depths
- Adjustable wire arms for customization
Fishing Techniques:
- Steady Retrieve: Consistent speed to keep baits swimming
- Slow Rolling: Deep, slow retrieve along bottom structure
- Counting Down: Let rig sink to target suspended fish
When to Use A-Rigs:
- Fall and winter when bass are feeding on shad
- Deep water and offshore structure

Whether you're fishing deep ledges or targeting suspended bass, Alabama rigs are powerful tools for imitating schools of baitfish and triggering big bites.
