Thread: Double jig rig preferences

Generally I run three different weight options 3/8 when I fish slow 3/4 for little more speed and 1.5 oz for power trolling at around 1-1.3 mph. I use minnow on top hook or a gnat tipped with minnows. I use jigs in bottom prefer a bladed jig for power trolling weight really doesn’t matter on the jig head...

I always used 3/8 oz to 3/4 weight on bottom with meat getters or gnats on both top and bottom tipped with either niblets or minnows,,,gnats generally don’t use any weight,,,

I fish Enid or Sardis 90 % of the time . So four poles per person and I fish solo most often when doing this type fishing . Two poles will have 1/8 sickle hook jigs on the bottom with either a plain hook or gnat on top . The other poles will be just the opposite . On days where fish want color I will add a crappie magnet to the bare hook instead of adding more gnats . 1/2 OZ. bullet weights sitting on a bead wrapped three times is preferred over a egg sinker . Seems to slide up the line easier than egg weights when hooks get on wood . jmo .

Where do you find these meat getters or gnats? Or do you tie them.

Our member Donald@CrappieLogic makes the gnats. I assume the "meat getters" are made by our member MEATGETTER.

That sounds interesting do you happen to have any pictures I've never thought of using a bullet weight which makes prefect sense.
