Anyone ever use and umbrella rig(Alabama rig). Thoughts? I've been hearing good things about them for bass. In CA you can only have 3 hooks though...
I have one the Lee gave me years ago. Im tempted to use it but I haven't seen anyone else use it out here. I dont want people to be like "wtf is that noise" lol

Have used them but not that much. Like everything they have a time and a place. MO is the same way with 3 hooks. I will either put something on 2 leads without hooks (spinners maybe) or just cut the hooks off on a 5 rig. They do however make a 3 rig as well.
I figured it was worth a shot. Hell there are times on our lake where the bass crush green Berkley atomic tubes with a pink crappie nibble on the hook. I used those once fishing for crappie and kept pulling up small bass , that kind of wierd stuff makes me love fishing!
I've made the switch too 100% flouro for the most part. But with dropshots I normally use braid and a flouro leader...but I have just used flouro it depends on my mood when I'm putting new line on the reels

Lee! How do you rig this? braid with flouro leader.

look up the double uni knot...it helps with putting backing on as well

I mean the actual leader. How long should the whole leader be? Maybe 3 ft?

You can. I usually don't. I don't use backing on a bait caster either.
I'd like to try it out. Flouro and braid can get expensive. Also, I ask these questions because my brother recently gave me a rod for drop shot. It's a med heavy though. (I like my rods to be heavy. The heavier the better)I want to use braid to set the hook better.

Lol, you kinda sound like me! I love to fish, but I really never took the time to really "learn" to fish. I'm more of a reach into the tackle box and grab a random lure, tie it to a random stick with random line, and try to catch a random fish. That pretty much sums up my fishing lesson for today! Lol, okay, it isn't actually that bad, but I do learn a bit from listening to all you guys.

I use mono for backing and for dropshots I usually use circle hooks so you just need to lean back with some tension to set the hook. But I do suggest using backing especially if you fish in the rain
