What the heck is an umbrella rig?
Great bait for fall fishing
The umbrella rig, or Alabama rig (A-rig) as some people call it, got its name because when hanging in the air, the five wires that hold a bait on them look much like the frame of an opened umbrella. At the end of each of the “arms” of the bait, there is a swivel and a snap.
