chuck you can make your own bama rigs, when i start back building some i'll send you a couple and i have also found an less expensive head to use, i can't remember the name right off, but i'll look at the packageing...the swim-baits are still high, i like using the skinny dippers, another thing your not gonna like, you better throw it on 50-65 pound braid, if your try mono it will be just like throwing 20$ in the river....
