Today jAN 10-2012 I fished Nick A Jack with Jerry Steakly and we had another fantastic day throwing the Tennessee Rig with a variety of Swim Baits including a Storm Wild Eye Shad www.stormlures.com (http://www.stormlures.com/) Sufix 832 Braid worked extremely well-it is very smooth and is ultra sensitive www.sufix.com (http://www.sufix.com/) . We lost the first 3 big Largemouth we had on right at daylight 2 on the rig and one on a Luhr-Jensen Krocodile Spoon www.luhrjensen.com (http://www.luhrjensen.com/) but was able to catch 3 more throughout the day. In-between we caught at least 100 White Bass that all looked like the ones you see above. Rick McFerrin www.tennesseebassguides.com (http://www.tennesseebassguides.com/)

Nice job Rick. That rig does seem pretty deadly regardless how someone may feel about using it.

By the way congrats slim.. :D

No one should discount the unlimited potential of how this rig can be used-or the variety of lures that can be used on them....based on individual states laws.....Like I said I wouldnt want to throw it everyday-but the results that they produce is strong......still a light guy at heart...Rick

Do you have to use a heavy action rod for this?

Were you fishing in Kentucky? I thought this rig was illegal in Tennessee. I believe it falls under the umbrella rig. I would like to give it a try if legal.

[rick mcferrin]

Hogdawg: A 3 rig is legal in Tennessee any size single hook....can't use 5...just 3 ...Rick

Tennesseejugger: I use a 7 foot heavy casting or spinning.....Theres a lot of lead in this thing.......Rick

Rick's right. I spoke with a TWRA officer about it yesterday. He also mentioned that they (TWRA) would be concentrating more on fisherman this year due to a lack of duck hunters (no ducks=no duck hunters), so make sure you're legal when you're on the water.

The ones I knew went to Arkansas instead.

Maybe this cold snap and winter storm up north and across the MS flyway will push some of those birds down here....

[hogdawg]

Thanks for the info Rick.

Are there any 3 rig products out there being sold or do you simply take a 5 rig and snip off 2 of the wires?

Here is the best explanation of the legal/illegal rigs explained by the head of TWRA.

For about 5 bucks and a trip to lowes I made my own Tn rig.

Niiiiicce. I may just have to do that myself instead of spending 20 bucks on a rig. You teach classes? :D
