Come along for a great day on the water! Tim is putting his confidence bait to work and it only takes 3 casts to catch a BIG largemouth! That’s just the start, he goes on to put together a big limit of bass, and has a lot of fun along the way! Listen closely to the details as he breaks down when he uses the different versions, plus a few other key tips.

The Alabama Rig is an incredible tool when anglers understand how to harness its power. Traditional rigs were cumbersome and difficult to fish with, but today’s downsized rigs with lighter wires and smaller components, are very easy to use. Tim implements our Hog Farmer collaboration rig (The Hog Farmer Tactical Mini Flex) in both the bladed and non–bladed versions to catch fish in changing conditions.

Below you’ll find links to the rigs, the components he uses to set them up, his rod and reel combos, as well as a few of the other baits he had on deck. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
