IMHO .... the idea is to present more baits/colors & cover a wider range of water depth, with the intention of possibly catching two fish at one time. I fished this way once, with a member buddy, and out of the 100+ keeper fish that were caught, a double on one rod occurred only once (that I remember). In fact, whenever the double rigs got snagged & lost a jig (or the whole rig) we kept fishing with a single jig on that rod, and still got just as many hits. And, in almost 95% of the cases, the fish hit the bottom jig, anyway.
i agreed and also disagreed, agreed on when snagged most of the time you lost both, another reason I used two swivels instead of dropper rig, disagreed on the fish hit on bottom jig, I got hit both top and bottom, I leave gap about a foot apart. I use bottom jig to feel and remain contact to bottom of the lake and oftentimes they just hit the top jig. I also agreed on single rig is as effective or even more, I haven’t got double on both but I’ve never leave the lures in water long after got bite. I’m gonna start rigging with different color or shape next time.
