- Dagur Guðmundsson is an Icelandic brown trout and Atlantic salmon guide who spends his off season guiding carp and bass on the central coast of California. In this tutorial, Dagur shows us how to tie his Sweet Home Alabama, a fly pattern that imitates the famous Alabama Rig or A-Rig that conventional bass anglers have been using for years to imitate a school of baitfish.

An umbrella rig for the fly rod! Fantastic!
Awesome !!! Great fly and great to see you a few weeks ago for dinner and our meeting. 💪🏼
Here from the Facebook conversation!
Dagur Major props to you. well thought out design with simple materials. I like how you incorporated tube design for interchangeability of hook types and sizes. will tie one to see how effective they are getting larger fish to commit. thx again.
Great video Big D! I like how you've taken a production style of tying to get all the teaser flies to be the same + overall great design! Will tie some up for sure to tango with the LMB's hear in NC
👌 Awesome 👌
Very interesting.
Dagur, this is very creative. Thinking I’d like to tie several up for striper fishing in the NE. How would you modify the recipe (size-wise) for SW fish?
What types of fly line do you like fishing it with?
I just use the tried and true: snot on a hook. Works every time.
I can see pike shredding this rig to oblivion here up north but very creative and would be nice anywhere they don't have hungry toothy critters.
I often have to put the drop shot away when too many pikes around cutting my weight's dropper line.
Wire instead of mono, shanks instead of tubes, problemo no existo no more
What link do I go to to purchase???
approximately how much do those weigh when its complete? I would love to fish this on some Bfs gear.
About as much as one cotton swab
I tied a bunch up and the teasers weigh about 0.8 grams, the heavy teaser about 1.2 grams. Whole rig is around 5-7 grams. Certainly can use smaller eyes to lighten it up. I used 4mm eyes.
I'm going try to throw these with a bfs pole myself.
@@petelinkoiv5651 5 to 7 grams sounds about perfect to me. I might have to invest in some cheap fly tying equipment to try these myself.
how do you straighten the mono
Is it just me or does it seem like the fly has changed a bit from when he published it in California Fly Fisher? I don’t remember it being a tube fly.
I've also shaved my beard since that article 😂
I did mention tube flies in the article, but the tutorial there was for the shanked version, which is sexy as well. I prefer the tube and that's how I started out making them, but the shanked ones work well too.
@@Dagsi23 Good to know! I I’ve been wanting to tie a few up, but if I’ve been too poor to buy the materials 😂
Do or can I buy a sweet Alabama rig.....
Never seen this before. Cool looking.pattern. If I use this out west with a design for salmon, large trout, smallmouth etc. Do you end up with foul hooked fish, what if they snap at one of the small outrigged flies and get foul hooked. Just curious if anyone that has fished this style and had that problem.
There's only one hook
I love the fly. But I disagree with the fish need pretty flys? I wouldn't catch anything if that was true🤣🤣🤣
