Tactical Bassin’s Latest Lure Design! The Tactical MINI Flex Rig! (How To Fish and Rig)

We’ve done it again! With the increased pressure around the country the past few years the need has developed for a smaller, streamlined, more flexible Alabama Rig to help anglers catch fish in tough conditions. The Hog Farmer Tactical MINI Flex Rig allows you to throw much smaller swimbaits on a perfectly balanced rig with great movement, without giving up ANY durability!

We set out to design an A-rig that could comfortably fish 3” - 4” swimbaits while still being able to throw smaller 2" baits. By downsizing our wire lengths, blade sizes, and terminal components we created a rig that could fish any swimbait from a 2.8” Keitech up to a 4 1/2” swimbait with ease. Hog Farmer was able to bring all their build quality to this project to create the perfect downsized package without giving up the strength of the full size Tactical Flex Rig. 

Below you’ll find links to the rigs, as well as the components we use to rig them. We’ve even included our favorite colors for all the swimbaits to help give you a starting place for your own fishing. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

BUYER'S GUIDE: Chatterbaits, Spinnerbaits, and Best Trailers!

Today's buyers guide is all about the spinnerbait and chatterbait. This is a huge category with a wide variety of baits and styles but we were able to easily narrow it down to key baits that you can rely on to catch fish throughout the year! These two staples belong in every angler's arsenal, here's what you need to know... 

Each of these categories could be their own buyer's guide but for the sake of time we've combined them. The chatterbait, or bladed jig, comes in dozens of versions but there are only a few that stand out from the crowd. The spinnerbait comes in a plethora of shapes, sizes, and blade configurations but also has a few key baits that stand above the rest. 

Below you'll find links to the baits and gear in the order we discussed them. We've included our favorite sizes, weights, and colors for each and all the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of the items.
