Rules are meant to be looked over, ever so often... New products come along and decisions must be made weather of not they should be allowed. Having caught 2 ea, 2lb white bass on double rigged trolling lines, I don't think I would want to try and pull in something like the Alabama rig with say 3 fish on board... I don't have any equipment to handle that. However to each his own. But now we know where the professional tourney's stand. And here I was wanting to buy some stock in the Alabama lure company's...wrong again.
