The Alabama Rig might be banned in most major tournaments, but when the water gets cold and bass stop eating chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs, and worms… this thing becomes an absolute cheat code. In today’s video I break down exactly how to fish an A-Rig — including the Stealth A-Rig, one of the most natural-looking and subtle umbrella rigs on the market — and why it continues to crush when nothing else gets bit. I show how to rig it, the best swimbaits to pair with it, the right rod and reel setup, and the key retrieves that fire up winter bass. If you’re fishing from late fall into early winter and struggling to get bites, the Alabama Rig is still the deadliest tool you can legally throw… even if the pros can’t.

This is one cool swimbait technique for targeting winter bass in cold water. Using a bass head jig with a light wire hook and screw lock you tread on 3.5″ or less swimbaits. In the video we caught most of our bass in deep clear water using the Scottsboro Tackle hand poured lure in a Dirty Hitch color pattern. It’s important to use a little lighter fishing rod for this technique as well – I like a 7′ M bait caster or a 7′ M spinning rod if I’m using a jig 1/4 oz or less. If you have super cold water temperatures or just ultra pressured fishing and need a finesse tactic that covers water, this technique might be the ticket.
