I`ve always pulled tandem jigs using (2) 1/16th oz size tied with a standoff knot about 18 inches apart. The bodies I fish tend to be on the shallow side .

My only real complaints are:

1. Tandem jigs are more prone to hangups from wind issues, catfish, etc

2. I know crappie feed up and not down, so I sometimes wonder if Im pulling beneath some of the fish.


For those who pull jigs..

Is fishing a single jig just as good?
Wanted to experiment some... Should I try a single 1/16th, or would I be just as good to try a single 1/8 the size?

Would love to hear from fellow longliners on what you do

Thanks!
