Thread: Cheaper Double Minnow rig

I fished the Arkie rig side by side with a hand tied Capps rig and could never see any difference, I really like the simplicity of the Arkie, use 1 Oz mostly

The half oz rig with a 1/8 jig on bottom and a 1/16 on top and both tipped with minnows gives me somewhere between 3/4 oz and 1 oz total and works great.

Do you have you add your own leaders to the arkie rigs though

Yes you do......but its a great rig

I use no knot quick clips and can easily change out jigs or hooks without haveing to re rig.

Short 6 in. leader on top and 14 in. on bottom with loop knots and quick clips

You can also pre-tie some baits up, jigs, hooks, whatever you use, with short peices of line, and hand them from your rod holders. I have a piece of foam around the horizontal shaft, the tends to collect baits as i change them anyway. Then, like "G" said, use the quick clip, and changing out is a breeze. These rigs have a big 3-way on top to, so if you tie a snap on the end of your mainline, you can totally alter your rig with new baits, or a different size weight, quicker than re-tieing the whole thing.

I do something else at the 3 way too, instead of hooking the main line to the swivel that would be straight with the rig I hook mine to the swivel that is at 90 degrees, kinda holds the top rig out a little more.
