Rigging question, ie. hooks, line, weights etc.....

[duck38866]

I have asked several questions lately and thanks to all of you who have responded. I have always been a single pole fisherman and we catch alot of crappie casting spinning reels too. But, I am about to give this spider rigging thing a whirl.
My question is- how do y'all rig your lines? Is the weight on the bottom and a couple of hooks above that? Or, do you tie a swivel on with a weight about that and have a hook hanging below it?
I would love to see some pics if any of y'all have any.
Thanks

I tie a jig on the main line with a loop knot about a foot below that wrap your line 4xaround an egg sinker[weight of your choice] afoot below the sinker i tie on another jig.

When jig fishing I usually just use one jig one the bottom with an egg sinker around a ft above the jig. With a 1/8 oz jig, I'll use a 3/8 oz sinker. I try to have around 1/2 oz of total weight.

I use the simple slip rig with a 1/2oz (usually) egg sinker above a swivel and a snelled aberdeen hook or short leader with a jig. I've used the double hook methods in the past but always had issues with tangling and it was too much trouble for me at the end of the day.

When fishing minnows and jigs I tie my own C&C Riggs. Three way swivel at top, 6in leader off side, 18in drop with1/2 oz egg sinker then small swivel with another 8in dropper. I tie on cross lock snap where I can change out hooks and jigs. Usually run a 1/8 oz sickle hook jig on bottom and plain hook on top. If I just want to use a jig do it the same way as ScottV. There are all kinds of ways to rig and they will all work. Just tie up some things and give them a try. Good fishing. By the way if you use swivels keep them as small as you are comfortable with.

Use a short 2-3in loop on top it never tangles.
