Where

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.

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,

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.

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.

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
