Just curious if anyone has tried the Alabama rig to catch skipjack? That should be a whole lot of fun if it worked

I agree that it should work and catch well. The only thing might be needed is smaller wire to attach the jigs and curley tails. I believe the AB bass rig uses 040. This change should give more vibration.

Going have to order a couple of them badboys and try them out in my parts on some Skips, looks like it work. Thanks for the heads up on that one.
Tried one with smaller wire a couple weeks ago. no luck!! we were catching skips on sabiki rigs but no takers on ab rig Even tied one on the bottom of a sabiki rig 1 skip in about 15 min. We riged it several different ways. Good luck!!

personally , I cant see any advantage using one, looks to me like it would be alot of hassle compared to a sabiki rig or a single jig, But it is an interesting design
