I caught a few Bass on Kentucky Lake with my version of the Alabama Rig I made

[Kentucky Lake]

I caught them all on Kentucky Lake.

I caught 12 Bass in just a few hours.

I caught them all on the Umbrella Rigs that I made myself.


Here are some pictures.

I know this is a Crappie forum, but I know many of you Bass fish also, and fish on KY Lake.

You just saved 14.95 for the smaller version and 24.95 for the Mann's version as what I saw at BPS yesterday.

Here is a 4 Pound Bass I caught with the Rig. I caught this Bass on Kentucky Lake.

Some of you may be interested in this Information.


A lot of these items needed to make an Alabama Rig can be bought at Lowes, Home Depot, or other hardware stores, that carry things like Wire.


You may use Wire from Spinnerbaits, and Buzzbaits also, or similar Wire.




I made a few of mine out of .035 stright wire . And it was seven and half inches long but you will still need to bind the end of wire . The wire has a hook at one end which i put all 5 wires in one of a end of a swivle then put in the mold, I did this for some of my Crappie Rigs, and for some of my Bass Rigs. It seemed to work pretty good.imo

1. Drill a larger hole in a sinker

2. Make a loop in a wire with a pair pliers, slide a swivel up the wire, then slide the wire back down thru the hole in the sinker until the tag end sticks out the bottom of the sinker

3. slide a 3/32" ferrule up the wire to the bottom of the sinker and insert the tag and 4 other wires(from the flags) into the ferrule, then crimp it with a tool

4. Then you should have a swivel attached to the main wire, the bullet or egg weight, a ferrule with 5 wires crimped inside it. (Or how ever many wires you want on your Rig). imo

5. After this, you need to slide the 1/16" ferrule onto each wire, loop the wire, put a lock swivel on the end of each wire, slide the ferrule back down the wire with the swivel in each loop and crimp the ferrules.

6. Then you can attach jig heads to the snap/cross/interlock swivels along with swim baits, grubs, jigs, etc.

Nobody cares,Bill. This is a CRAPPIE FORUM.

Can I hear a AMEN from the congregation?!!!! Tons of other forums on other sites that would probably appreciate your catch. I might be stepping out on a limb but I would say this may not be one of them.

Doug, thank you.


When I start catching big Crappie again this Spring, I will post those pictures also.

Good Luck to you on the lakes.


Weather looks nice this week, I will be on KY Lake Tuesday, and Wednesday.
