You got too much time on your hands.

Snell knot on the bare hook and of course quality inspected.

Dirty fingers. Carol was holding the hook while I took the picture

Howdy Doug....don't tell her.

So is this like a "double shot" rig with a Minnow above the jig? Are the ping and yellow things egg sinkers? Just curios as to how you fish the rig. I've never seen anything like that over our way.

It is a "pretty" capps and coleman. Most of the time, I'll run a jig on the bottom and a bare hook on the top until I find out what they are wanting.

Thanks for the info. Pretty cool.

Thanks. I don't think I ever gave you a straight answer. Yes, I just colored the egg sinkers. 3/8 sinkers for jigs, 1/2 or heavier for bare hooks, depending on the wind.

If I was getting to go fishing, there wouldn't be any sinker painting going on. I would buy them already painted. The fish up here in NEAR are high class fish and are more attracted to fancy stuff than those central arkansas fish. I bet no one at the tournament was fishing with painted sinkers. If they had been, there have been a different outcome. Besides over a dozen times last year, I had crappie just to float up beside the boat and I was able to dip them up. I suppose they struck at the weight and knocked themselves out.
