Are you sure you don't mean a Capps/Coleman rig vs a KY Lake rig :p
C/C rig = hook/sinker/hook (primarily for trolling)
KY Lake rig = hook/hook/sinker (primarily for bottom bouncing)
... cp :cool:
C'mon guys. Capps and Coleman did not invent this rig. In the 70's, we used to buy the Ky Lake rigs all the time and you could buy them with the sinker on bottom or a hook on bottom. They came on a flat piece of wood or a white cardboard tube. Capps and Coleman are great fisherman no doubt but they are far from the inventors of this style of fishing.
Handy though. You say C&C rig everyone knows what you're talking about. Same with Kentucky rig. It may not have been tied the first time in KY.
I troll with both, normally KY rig. Thinking I might switch to RF rig (single jig) the next time I'm down there though.
One Good Idea I Got From Someone We Started Tying Snap Swivels To The Main Line Then Connect Them To The Three Way Swivel With Rig On It Plain Hooks Or Jig Heads... I Have Several Pretied With Just Minner Hooks And Some With Just Jig Heads... Makes It A Lot Easier To Snap One Rig Off And Throw On The Other When You Figure Out What The Slabs Want Instead Of Tying A Knew Rig On Especially When I Like Using The Palomar Know Most Of The Time..... Use A Lot Hand Tied Jigs And A Lot Easier To Just Replace The Whole Rig In A Couple Seconds Than Retying Everything In The Boat... Use The Cheap Hook And Line Keepers That You Wrap Around The Cylinder To Store Em Which Came From Cabelas.... Like Using 1/2 Egg Sinkers For Hooks And 3/8 When Using 1/16 Or 1/8 Ounce Jig Heads... Is That The Size Most You Fellars Use...or Do You Bump Up To 3/4 Or Bigger...
Twelve or fourteen feet is about as deep as I ever get down to. I use a 1/2 oz. whether I'm using a minner rig (I seldom do) or jigs (usually a 1/32 or 1/16 on top and almost always 1/8 on bottom)
