TW Staff Picks for Fall Bass Fishing
Overview
The HogFarmer Baits Tactical Bassin Flex Rig 5 Blade perfectly mimics a school of feeling baitfish as it pulsates and contracts when anglers make short twitches with the rod tip or quick turns of the reel handle. Designed in collaboration with Tim Little and Matt Allen of Tactical Bassin, these rigs are manufactured to their exact specifications and reflect the experience and know-how of countless hours spent on the water. Featuring a 6-wire and 5-bladed arrangement, the top 3 wires are 4.5” and designed to accommodate teasers, the middle hook wire is 7” long, and the outside hook wires are 5.75” in length.
HogFarmer flex rigs give your swimbaits a burst of life by utilizing a thinner gauge .035” diameter wire. Fitted with premium clevises, 80lb swivels, and reduced willow blades, the flex rig still offers plenty of flash as the light wire construction provides a stealthier overall appearance. Built with an impact-resistant polymer head for improved durability, the line tie includes a swivel that helps eliminate twist. Simply add your favorite jig heads and swimbaits, and watch the HogFarmer Baits Tactical Bassin Flex Rig 5 Blade heighten the action of your swimbaits.

AmazingI don't know how many bass I've caught this year on this rig. Took my dad out to the lake early this summer, and let him borrow one. We caught our limit in about 20 mins fishing the mouth of a cove. Just last month I caught one that weighed over 4 pounds.
Matt, we got you..lolI personally own probably 6 or 7 different HF A-Rigs, & Countless numbers of each. Now the most recent TB alabama rig.. the mini flex rig.. its getting ridiculous how many i have in my box that arent even built yet. But hands down worth it due to how serious matt is w/ his hardware.. thankfully i can now grab a fresh rig ..if mines mangled (on lord knows how many countless fish its caught) bend wires, remove snaps, add swivels & finesse or regular matt allen jigheads.. & be back to casting in a few min tops! versus being in freezing temps trying to cut/replace subpar hardware on other brand umbrella rigs..
P.S. whoever the feller is below must of been high on life from slaying bass the entire day.. BOTH OF MATTS JIGHEADS FIT EVERY TACTICAL BASSIN RIG SNAPS OR IF YOU USE THE INCLUDED OWNER HYPERWIRE SPLIT RINGS! .. if they didnt thatd be the same as Me making a tungsten free rig weight, then dumping tungsten in the eye until its sealed shut, then promoting my weights & baits together knowing they wont work lol
Anyway, thanks to matt and tim for however many years worth of fish using their rigs and jigheads!

Comments: Matt - this is for you. The Matt Allen Tactical jigheads do work on the stock snap, I've seen it done without issue. Other than that, this rig is awesome. Sets up easily, casts well, swims straight, is durable, and catches fish! Everything you want in an A-rig.

Comments: Caught 150 Smallies on one rig yesterday! I cant believe she held up that long. Lost one dummy arm and then another arm and with 4 they were still smashing it. Super impressed with the durability of this rig when boat flipping 4-5lb smallies all day.

Comments: Fantastic, even for the price tag. Got this thing hung up but was able to bend-out the hook on one of the jigheads and get the whole rig back so that speaks for the durability!

Comments: Has become my goto for smaller A-Rigs. However, oddly enough, the recommended Matt Allen Tactical jigheads don't fit on the snap. Seems like a bit of an oversight. You have to cut of the snaps and use the included o-rings. I prefer snaps as I like to be able to easily change jighead weight. The teaser wires need snaps too.

Comments: Very happy with this rig. It presents nicely, and is durable. Caught a 20+ lb striper on it that would have left a cheaper rig in shambles but with this rig some minor bending later I was back in action. Matt and Tim designed the best rig money can buy here.

Comments: within the first 15 minutes of using this lure throwing it by dock i hooked into my pb smallie and boat flipped it the smallie was 6 lbs. 10 muinutes after that I caught a 4 pounder then a 3.6. Honestly the greatest lure to fall into my hands.
