The top ten cut consist of Jason Christie, Brandon Coulter, Shawn Murphy, Koby Kreiger, Scott Suggs, Anthony Gagliardi, Mark Rose, Barry Wilson, Stacy King and Jim Dillard. Christie is fishing the castable umbrella rig and so are many of the other anglers. Coulter only has three rods on his deck all rigged with castable umbrella rigs. Coulter stated that it was the only lure that he was going to fish with and it was either going to win him the tournament or cost him winning the tournament. Read more about FLW on Beaver Lake...

Gustafson’s boat sticks out from other FLW professional anglers fishing the Tour events. Unlike the other boats that consist of traditional fiberglass bass boat, Gustafson’s “bass” boat is a v-hull Lund. So, his boat isn’t the conventional bass boat. Fish don’t care.

have to admit. I have never seen a community so excited about hosting the Bassmaster Classic. Since being announced the tournament location, Guntersville has begun preparing to make the 2014 Bassmaster Classic the best ever.
There were no surprises in this tournament except for Scott Suggs and Anthony Gagliardi weighing in sacks of big smallmouth. As expected, the multi-lure rig, castable umbrella rig aka the Alabama Rig played a dominate force in this FLW Tour tournament on Beaver Lake. In the end, Jason Christie lobbed a YUM Flash Mob Jr. to win the event
Fish don’t know what brand of boat your drive. They can’t even tell if you talk with a funny northern accent. For all they know you could be from Canada and they would be right assuming you are FLW professional angler Jeff Gustafson from Kenora, Ontario.
The back deck is a great place for an angler to learn how to fish tournaments. It’s the stepping stone to moving up to turning pro. It’s been done before successfully, but never documented like the transition FLW pro Casey Martin from New Market, Alabama is going through.
It may have been a bluebird day out on Beaver Lake in northwest Arkansas, but you would have thought it was raining cats and dogs with all the umbrella out. The umbrellas weren’t to keep anglers dry, but to catch quality bass which can be challenging some days just ask a number of FLW professional anglers that bombed the second day of the FLW Tour tournament on Beaver Lake. As expected, anglers were slinging, lobbing and pitching the multi-lure rig or castable umbrella rig aka the Alabama Rig
One by one the leading anglers in the FLW Tour Tournament openly admitted to fishing with multi-lure rig or castable umbrella rigs aka Alabama Rig to catch their fish on. On a few anglers were able to use a single lure to catch and keep up with the Alabama Rig. Not surprisingly, anglers fishing in this year’s tournament on Beaver Lake were catching them.
