Would i be better off with single jig rig. Or maybe put the jig/hook right on the line. Thanks for any and all feedback.

This is a catfish rig , similar to mine, watch how he puts the hook on.

If I'm fishing shallow laydowns, or swimming the jig, I use single jig........If I'm drifting open water, pole in each hand, I use 2 - 1/16 oz jigs tied about 14 inches apart on 6 lb Stren gold......If it's windy I go to 2 - 1/8 oz jigs

I use something very similar to this. SlabHunter showed me how to tie it. I use 8# main line with 6# leaders.

So everyone thinks I'm messing up by using braid for main line? Only reason for my doing so is to not lose weight and swivel.

Only thing I use is braid on my reels, you never have to worry about line twist with this stuff.

Ok so I think I'm gonna stick with braid for now, use longer flouro leader, and go with a one jig setup and see how it works. How do you guys that spider rig work stumpy water? Do yall just deal with the breakoffs?

I don't use a leader on braid. I never could understand the logic of using 20# braid with an 8# leader. Darbonne never gets clear enough for braid to hurt you.

If I'm fishing cover, I single jig. Fishing open water or deep water I double up.

No leaders, just 2 loop knots about 18" apart. I always thread the top jig on but tie the bottom jig first then the top jig on last. Helps me keep my spacing right. I know that don't make sense but it works for me

I guess the only real reason im using braid is that i don't want to break my weight and swivel off, also i use white fireline so i can mark my line with different color sharpies. I got red-20, green-25, and blue-30. I have so many questions bout spider rigging it aint funny.
