Picasso Lures Elementary School-E-Rig

The Picasso Elementary School-E-Rig is a multi-wire Alabama-Style Rig that features a central connection from which five wires extend and end with snap swivels. After the mind-boggling display by Paul Elias at the FLW Tour Open on Lake Guntersville, the Alabama-Rig popularity has spread like wildfire. Although resembling something you would see hanging above a baby's crib, the odd looking contraptions have proven to be unbelievable fish catchers. Stories of hundred fish days have quickly gone from fish tales to reality after more and more anglers got their hands on the A-Rig. In just the following three weeks after the FLW Open, and additional three major tournament titles fell victim to the Alabama Rig.

The Elementary version of the School-E-Rig is feature for feature the exact same product as the original School-E-Rig, but without the central head. As the Alabama Rig craze continues, many anglers find the central head to be a nice, but unnecessary feature of such rigs. The Elementary School-E-Rig therefore carries a cheaper price tag due to reduced manufacturing costs.

When fishing any type of Alabama Rig we recommend the following gear considerations:

• Rod: Swimbait rods that can handle 3-5oz - several rod companies are developing umbrella rig specific rods
  
• Reel: Choose a reel with a high line capacity spool - we also recommend a 6.1:1 or higher speed reel that can adapt to the diverse conditions the umbrella rig thrives in
  
• Line: 50-80lb braided line
  
• Hook: Swimbait jig heads ranging from 1/8-3/8oz are commonly used when employing soft plastic swimbaits
