Won Bass - Alabama Rig/Umbrella Rig
Guys,
This is obviously a "HOT TOPIC" since the recent FLW events. I wanted to just make it clear what the WON BASS rules will be or have been in any Team or Pro/Am events in the future. Remember, our rules state that all DFG rules will also apply to any and all of our tournaments!
Per our rules:
Only artificial lures may be used. No live bait, cut or prepared baits other than pork rind or mammal
hide may be used. Fish “attractants and scents” may be utilized. All fishing
must be accomplished with one rod and reel combination used at one time,
meaning each cast must be made and line retrieved before another cast
may be made with another outfit. A contestant may have an unlimited number
of rods and reels on the boat rigged and ready to fish. Trolling, (the act
of manipulating the lure solely by maneuvering the boat under any type of
power) is prohibited. The intentional snagging of fish is strictly prohibited.
Per DFG Rules:
An angler may use 1 rod and 1 reel at 1 time from cast to retrieve. An angler may fish a bait or up to 3 baits at 1 time on 1 rod and 1 reel. The 3 lures may have up to 3 hooks on each lure. If you are throwing an umbrella style rig, then only 3 lures may have hooks on them at anytime, regardless of how many hooks those 3 lures may have on them.
Simple as that!

Re: Won Bass - Alabama Rig/Umbrella Rig
So I assume dragging is not allowed?

Re: Won Bass - Alabama Rig/Umbrella Rig
You can drag if you are moving the rod to maneuver the bait . Strolling ! My good friend Dick Trask caught a lot of fish and wooped a lot of tail with this . I for one don't care if someone drags a bait it's not cheating it just one of the many techniques used to catch fish . I think the only way you could say someone was trolling is if the rod was in a pole holder . That's trolling

Re: Won Bass - Alabama Rig/Umbrella Rig
Nix on the rod holder. I troll quite often with the trolling motor on #1, slow. For Trout at Don Pedro using flies and or some small lure bait. Occasionally I do pick up a Bass. Always with rod in hand no rod holder. I believe dragging is the same as trolling if you are under power with the trolling motor. Really drifting with the breeze would be an honest dragging. It is also very effective now on suspended Bass in deep water. So, well you decide; is it dragging or trolling?

Re: Won Bass - Alabama Rig/Umbrella Rig
Last time I think I ever strolled was in 1960. I think it was a dance called the stroll?

Re: Won Bass - Alabama Rig/Umbrella Rig
Guys,
Let's not get off topic.
As for Nevada and Arizona waters.... Their rules stat that you may only have 2 lures with hooks, attached to one main line.
Trolling is defined by maneuvering the lure while under power of any kind. Trolling motor or main motor! Wind is not considered under power!

Re: Won Bass - Alabama Rig/Umbrella Rig
Not to get overly testical technical about it, but if you are using your trolling motor just for positioning or holding one spot, you are under power, but not trolling. I think trolling would be purposely moving a lure using a powered water vehicle.
