One more thing. When I add weight to a double rig I place the split shot between the two jigs. I asked Jody Stephens that question and that is the way he does it. I'm going to do what he does.

I'm told that with the smaller jig on the bottom it will follow the top jig in the water column. Therefore both jigs run at approximately the same depth. I think if the heavier jig is on the bottom the presentation is more vertical and increases chances for getting snagged. However, it will work either way I'm sure. It's okay to try different things. I hope others will chime in with their observations as we can all learn from the collective knowledge of the group. I've done a good bit of research on long lining since I started. Everything I do I've learned by copying others. There are some guys on this forum that out fish me every day of the week. I would like to know what they know!

Hotwater. do you use mono line? i use 10# mono. I just bought some 30# braid 8# mono equivalent that I tried on one reel yesterday.

Just like hotwater, I always put the lighter jig on bottom. And always put the lead in the middle if I plan on fishing deeper.
If single jig, lead is 15 inches(+/-) above the jig.... if using lead.

I use lite wire hooks but they will still break 10# test or the hook will break. Still is less tying than regular hooks.
