    The palomar knot wont slip and let the top jig draw up tight to the main line? I do want a small lead coming off main line for the top jig.

    Double the line, go through the eyelet once or twice tie a single or double Palomar, and do the same on the other one!
    Or tie LOOP knots so they slide around!
    If I dont ask its my fault for not knowing

    I use yellow original power pro 15 lb almost exclusively. Never has it broken under any circumstance. I use palomar and improved clinch knots. I have had to cut the line two times but normally will straighten out any crappie type hook.

    or I use a dropper loop knot and a sinker at the end of the main line
    fe1 (iron one), I use the palomar with the 2 ft. tag when I go into the brush, rather than fishing the top of the brush. It seems to be the best way of not breaking off at the top jig. You can also use a slightly lighter line for the tag (15# braid main line with a 12# tag line). If you hang the bottom jig, you will very seldom lose the top jig.

    Rather than trying to explain in words, go to YouTube. Look for double crappie rigs. Todd Huckabe has one showing how to tie a 2 jig dropper rig just like what you want. And it should not break like you are experiencing now.

    Loop knots , straight into the braid will work, in most waters! The crappie tune into the color & flash.

    the loop knots that go around the loop 3 times work VERY well on mono and braid both for tandems ...
    they tie super quick and i am using them on single set ups on my braid and mono in many cases
