4 . hog farmer tactical bassin mini flex rig
Gone are the days of enormous chandelier rigs with a half-dozen dummy baits in tow . These days , bass are conditioned to get out of the way when they see a massive umbrella rig coming . Still , the Alabama rig is a tremendous technique when properly applied , and the Tactical Bassin Mini Flex Rig from Hog Farmer certainly fills a need . Designed by Bass Fishing magazine columnists Tim Little and Matt Allen , the Mini Flex is made of light (. 035-inch ) wire that easily flexes to present bass with a smaller profile and gives anglers plenty of rigging options thanks to six wires of varying ( and meticulously thought-out ) lengths .
