Better way!

I don't know where I stand, but I've use this for years and it works for me. I think that is important.

I start with a piece of line about 4 ft long. Tie a hook or jig on one end. (I make several with a variety of combinations), come out about 4-6 inches and tie a double knot loop. Thread a hook or jig on the other end and come up the desired distance between hooks and tie this one the length u want using another double knot. Then come down 8-12 inches and tie a snap swivel.
I have a snap swivel on my line from the pole as well. I can change them out quick and change weights fast as well. Helps me to find the bottom without my hook hitting bottom. I can also put a clamp-on weight and use the bottom swivel for a third lure when legal.
And too, I remove the weight when I'm finished fishing and store them and the supply of spares on a noodle.

yep yep--Like you the less the better. I would rather tie direct to the main line but figured out real quick that wasn't gonna work for me--I spent over an hour one day with tangles and retying

Here's a pic of how I do it most of the time. Fast and easy

Best way is to throw all that out get you a jig and save minners . You ever had one hit both hooks ? Save all minners . Actually my wife won't let me use then . Lol

Those Daily doubles sho are fun. We had several of them at Sardis a couple months ago

I appreciate all you guys input. There are some really good ideas here and I think going more simple is the key!I'm gonna give dd's loop top line a try so my hook will stand straight out and adjust the lengths of all my droppers.Thanks to everyone for taking the time and helpin out a rookie!

If you want MAXIMUM simplicity, do what I did and get of bag of pre-tied Capps and Coleman rigs from Grizley. They have several weight sizes to choose from, I chose 1/2 oz.

I only use stinky minners when I fish the big four. At Okatibbee it's either jigs or cranks. I'm gonna tip jigs with minners next week at Grenada. I tied up some secret weapons just for that. Lol

**4THETHUMP** · 10-02-2012, 05:29 PM

you're going next week to Grenada ? i want to try it too . (Grenada ) just to tick Wannabe off . My wife and I will be at Sardis afternoon of the 12th . First time .

I was wrong on the knot. Overhand knot, not loop
