Thread: Single or double

What is everyones opinions on double or single jig rig? I have been rigging braid to weight and three way swivel, then a snell dropper with plain aberdeen hook. Then another dropper with 1/8-1/16 jig on bottom. The problem I'm having is almost half the time my top hook gets tangled with main line. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? 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.

I only use single. Just easier and no tangles.

99% single. Even on a good bite, I almost never catch on the top jig.

I do 4 jigs. They are about 18 inches apart, a barrel swivel at the top, and I make a loop out about 1 1/2 out and then tie another knot at about 1/4-1/2 for the jig at the end of the loop. Here's a bad pic. If I get around to it, I'll take a couple pics of the whole setup.

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

and singles are easier to deal with BUT doubles give you more options....

I almost always fish with a double jig setup. I use 6lb hi-vis Mr. Crappie with no swivels. I tie both 1/16 jigs on about 16-18" apart using a Huckabee knot that (I think) 20watt here on crappie.com posted a couple of years back. I usually add a split shot sinker about 3-6" above the bottom jig. When fishing thick cover I break off slot, sometimes 20-30 times a day. This is a very fast way to tie up a double jig and it works great. It's one of the best tips I've learned on this forum. {You can look up Todd Huckabee knot on YouTube}
