Thread: Spider Rigging Jigs

you got it DoubleG!!!

As Minner said, conditions tell you what to use. I personnally use 1/4 oz. Show Down tackle jigs on the bottom and a 1/48 oz. jig on top. I put a 1/2 oz. SDT weight in the middle. The smaller 1/48 oz. jig with a big minnow will kill the big fish. As far as Biggers trick, take the bottom jig or hook and place it in the hooker keeper above the reel. Take your line in the middle and wrap it around the pole. Now go in your daughters room and borrow some of her hair clips(they must have the holes in them) and place the hook in the hole and place the clip on the pole.

I have determined the three-way swivel is useless, unless you like tying a bunch of knots. I use a two-way and when I tie my drop line, i leave a 6" tag to tie the tok jig head/hook to. Just the way I do it. It also eliminates one knot. and knots are the weakest point of the line.

And by the way, me and WB used to not do it the same. I aint gonna say who told who. We'll save that fer another story.

I started out with the three-way swivels too but soon learned better. The only swivel I use now is at the very bottom to hook the weight to.

Ya'll can have those swivels. I tie a drop loop knot a couple feet up after I tie on a jig or hook to the the end of my line. Ain't lost a fish YET

You ain't caught none either.

Okay... So we got several different ways.. The three way swivel way (Capps Coleman), then the Wannabe/Minner or Minner/Wannabe way, and the DD special...

Wannabe/Minner - Do you use a quick connect (not sure if that is the right name... I am thinking about those connectors I use on crankbait to keep them running right) to attach to the swivel? Do you attach to the bottom or top of the barrel swivel. Is the picture below right?



Does anybody run more than two jigs at a time? Thanks for the help...
