For fun fishing I fish them with just one on the bottom and a 1/4-1/2 oz (depends on depth and wind mainly) eggs sinker 12-18 inches above the critter. I use a loop knot and hook the minnow under the chin up through the nostril. If I am in a pretty snag free situation or tourney fishing I use tandem using a Capps and Coleman style rig. I like orange, pink, and white and chart colors the best and blue n white or Black and Chart patterns are good. Critters work on Just about any lake I spider rig on. Good Luck
