Umbrella Rig Season

It's been about a year now since the Alabama Rig leaped into the limelight with a few of major tournament wins and bass fishing was changed forever. Many new castable umbrella rigs emerged and pro anglers made a quick study of these unique rigs' best applications. Much of that story remains to be written, but for now the favored application is cool-weather fishing on main-reservoir structure.

In this video, Bassmaster pro Timmy Horton, whose home waters of Pickwick and Wilson lakes are in the heart of umbrella rig country, explains exactly how he uses a YUM YUMbrella Rig to enjoy some of the best fishing of the year. Prime season is just beginning and will continue until spring, so if you want to try out this technique, now is the time to gather your gear and plan some time on the water.
