Alabama Rig........

[NorthJerzyG]

Ok, so earlier this year I was fishing at shepards lake and thought I had snagged up some weeds. After a bit of a struggle I managed to reel in the weeds, and a funny lookin rig with a bunch of swimbaits attached to it.

At first, I laughed it off as an inexperienced anglers crutch, and hung it up in my garage like a fishermans mobile, lol. Recently I was watching WFN and they were showing a bass tournament that took place on a lake in both Tennessee and Kentucky. 90% of the anglers in the tournament were using this rig and hammering bass. Hmmmmmmm.........

I'm wondering, have I had the ultimate de-skunker in my possesion? And, if it is that good, should it even be allowed in tournaments? Is it cheating, or just the ultimate "fish finder"?

Thoughts, opinions?
