BRM contacted me a couple of weeks ago and ask if I would fesh with him on Nader this past weekend, my response was I would be glad to but I wouldnt be much help if he intended to push minners. He said thats cool, just need some help with where to run and stuff. It was on and we went at it, never even looked at a cranking rod. I saw and caught fish in 15 to 20 mile an hour winds all day Saturday and turned around Sunday and did the same under much better conditions. Maybe it lit a fire or sumpin, wanting to fish MCC next year I am gonna have to learn to push minners, plain and simple.
As far as knowing how to tie em, I didnt, been fishing for about 45 years that I can remember so I knew I could do it just needed some insight. Until today I have never tied a loop knot.
Another thing is I have had alot of input on how to save some bucks, my rigs including the gnats have about 2 bucks in em so there is alot of room to save some change.
Your help as well as the others is greatly appreciated and is what this forum is about, once again the good folks here have came thru for me and headed me in the right direction. Thanks to all.
Well post a pic of your rig. I would like to see where and why you're using a loop knot? Never done it that way, but ain't to proud to try it if it's a better way than I'm using.

From what I can tell in the pic, I really don't see a need to call this a rig. The rig line appears to be the same as your main line. If this is the case, why use the swivel? Why not just tie a loop in your main line for your top hook/gnat, loop your egg sinker and then tie your bottom hook/gnat on? Would save you money on swivels.

Unless I feel like I need clear floro to catch spooky fish, I run a hook/jig/whatever up the line, run a barrel weight or worm weight up the line and run the line through 5 times leaving whatever length line I want my bottom hook to be below the sinker and then attach bottom hook with loop knot and then use loop knot for top hook whatever distance I want it above the weight. If I am money fishing and want prerigs, I do the exact same thing except top hook's tag end is tied to a normal swivel. Knot tying takes way to long for a double rig when I am trying to keep up with the depth finder, trolling motor, wind, other boats, and all the other distractions. I want to spend as much of my time watching rod tips and depth finder as possible.Quote:

[QUOTE=Minnerman;2031012]Not being a smart arse, but why would you ask, if ya already know how? I guess the better question is, why would I take up valuable gigabytes postin a pic and tryin to help. Maybe I been werkin to hard today and this is just a little fuzzy to me.
fear not minner, your time was not wasted. i have been using three ways from the get go and get so frustrated because a lot of times the knot comes undone right off the bat, probably a left hander problem tying it bakards. just tied up about ten like yours and it is so simple and easy, plus i can use a palomar knot on all three and you can't tie that one bakards...
thanks,

You want to run those batteries down to zero?
When you have run the boat for a day and the batteries are low, park your truck close to the batteries. Take the positive wire off the truck battery. Hook a set of jumper cables to the boat batteries. Neg. cable to the truck battery. Positive cable to the battery wire. Turn your headlights on bright and leave it for a couple of hours or until the lights go out. Rehook the battery wire and your back in business.

Good Job John
nothing wrong with that rig, just no need to use all the swivels. the real thing i'm concerned about is them monkey toe'd feet you got showing in the first pic, good grief boy. Looks like you could climb a coconut tree with them thangs.
I can, theys handy fot lots of things.:DQuote:

Rees, is that your foot in the pitchur?
That bottom swivel, what does it go to?
According to the "catch" picture....................I would say there ain't nothing wrong with that rig. Nice mess right thar.............
I like 6 lbs. on the "rigs" and 8 or 10 lbs. on the main line to the reel. Hiviz or clear floro is about the same results in the spring and some times a factor in the fall with clearer water.
About the foot in the picture.............................well.......... ..................................how many coconut trees ya'll got in 'ssippi?????????????????:popcorn
I think they's some in the Tiki bar in Nader, but I'll hafta get that confirmed by BRM.

I gotta put the Tikki on my list for the road trip
Bottom swivel goes to the pole, top one holds the weight. I tied a dozen rigs this evening and gonna replace the ones on the poles with 10 lb line verses the 6 lb stuff, got broke off a couple of times today so I am going to 10 all the way around. Think them wire snaps were tuff on the loop knots with the smaller line. We will see tomorrow, yall fixxin to get sick of my fishing reports, just remember yall asked for em.:biggrinQuote:
