Weight is between a crossline swivel and a regular swivel on a C and C rig. On the Kentucky rig, two cross line swivels are used with a bell sinker on the bottom.Quote:

If or I should say when I get hung up I either pull loose or I break the leader. Either way I don't loose the weight. Just tie another leader on and there ya go.
I put my egg weight on. Normally 1/2 oz. it's on my main line. 12#. Then I tie a large swivel. I then tie a 20" to 30" leader on with one or two 1/16 oz jigs or minnow hooks. This is either 4# or 6#.

For simplicity, you can wrap an egg sinker 4-5 times with a 12-18" tag. Then tie on minnow hook. Simplest/cheapest rig possible.
Use lighter (1/2) weights and shorter tags for light wind and slow moving. Heavier (3/4 or more) weights and longer tags for windy days. [Keeps the minnow from getting jerked around on short tag from boat rocking]
Also try Wally Marshall troll techs.
VERY easy to tie on and use. The top hook is on a stiff wire that rotates 360 degrees. Minnows swim freely and - never - get tangled.
The weight is built in. This helps for trolling and not getting hung up. When I do hang in rocks, the stiff wire and weight allows it to bump free.
For ease of use, can't be beat.
