Thread: Crappie Rigs

I have tried and tried many different ways to keep them, but by the time I find them, untangle them, tie them on etc, it is just about as easy to retie on the spot. Does save time when you are first putting out 8 rods though.

I use foam pipe insulation from the hardware store, cut into about 10" lengths and wrap my rigs around it. I use the last hook to hold tight. Works great!

I've spent many a night at the dining room table making crappie rigs. I get the large noodles and cut them into 6" lengths. I like to put them into 1 gallon zip lock bags just to be better organized. Counted the other night and I have about 45 rigs ready to go.

Even on the noodles, mine still get tangled and are a pain to unwind. Anyone ever tried hooking them longways on the noodle up and down on a longer noodle piece instead of wrapping them?

I have gone away from using the " noodles". They are bulky and they shrink, causing rigs to come loose and making a mess ! I have been using Lundy Riggers this past year. Each one holds 12 of my double rigs and each rigger takes up about 1/3 of the space the noodles do, because of a smaller diameter, bout 1 1/4". These will not shrink & the foam is more dense which will last longer. I spent some time in the summer, off season, re-stringing these, approx. 120 noodles onto these Lundy Riggers. I am very pleased that I went this way. I will suggest other crappie anglers to give this a try as well. By the way, most larger stores carry these (Bass Pro, Cabelas, Gander Man, etc), I have ordered from all these places, and from Amazon as well, shopping for the best prices ! They usually cost @ $4 -$5.
