Alabama Rig And Other Heavy Gear

[jeb]

i've been using 65lb braid to cast the A-rig, and fairly lightwire hooks. Snagged it a bunch of time on rocks, trees, brush piles and even Pea Ridge military park cedars they just planted in Beaver lake. I've yet to lose one. But I have lost my biggest two fish, too. So pluses and minuses with the light wire hooks.
