Yeah, but REAL sheepshead fishers don't like poking holes in perfectly good fish. oke1:

Just sayin...

Probably would be better used to recover lost fishing tackle dropped over the edge.

Paul Elias stood the fishing world on its ear back in late October when he won the Walmart FLW Tour open on Lake Guntersville using an Alabama Rig. He demolished the field with a total weight of 102 pounds, 8 ounces. His margin of victory was an incredible 17 pounds.

The lure, which has five trailing wires to which five lures can be attached, appears to be a school of fish swimming through the water and drives bass crazy.

No lure has ever caused such a commotion in fishing. The $25 lure was so much in demand that it was selling for more than $150 on eBay. Stores were running out of the 50- to-80-pound braided line needed to fish the lure. For the first time ever, fishermen were gobbling up the 7½-foot and 8-foot rods needed to fish the lure.

etc...

^^ how sad ...

:'(

These things are available for $17.99 at K&S Outdoors in Guin Al.

I'm betting the spanish will hit the hookless head of that thing and it will be gone in one bite.

No telling how many baits I lost last year to spanish hitting the spro swivels I was using.

Does give one explanation, though, looking at that picture. I couldn't buy swivels anywhere in central Arkansas last fall -- everywhere I went was sold out.

I hope this dont get big on our pier what a joke it should be called a googan rig kinda makes alabama look like tards :angry: IMHO Oh well cant be as bad as some people beside me and Jacob Dean this past summer floating a sabiki rig with shrimp on it to try and catch sheep head :wall:

Doomsday is here! Alabama rig is now on sale at Walmart. Run for your lives!!
