TN-19 Douglas / Cherokee Winter Division
EVERYONE should know Tennessees law on the Alabama Rig. If you choose to use this method it will be by Tennessees law or your fish will not be weighed in. I have provided a link from channel3outdoors.com , this is a clear straight to the point video on what you can and cannot do. State Laws and Tournament rules have to be followed so that each tournament is fair to EVERYONE.
