On other bass fishing forums, questions are arising as to whether the Alabama Rig is legal to use in other states.

I'm not completely sure. I think it depends on how many baits with actual hooks you put on it. I'll have to ask an official source to be sure before I put something out there that people may go by.

Anglers should always be personally familiar with local regulations wherever they choose to fish.
