Agree. Alabama rig is something anyone can buy and use within the guidance of whatever the local state laws are. So there's no way for one guy to get an advantage over the other guy using it in a tournament. So have at it!

I like how BASS did the boat rule, saying you have to stay in a similar boat all year. Maybe some guys will gamble and fish a jet all year. If so - then props to them (pun intended) :) It makes the field even between people traveling from all over the country to compete.

Good job BASS
