TN-18

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.
