Bottom Bouncing

I've had some ask me what is my definition of bottom-bouncing. I found the illustration below online and it is very close to what I use. The difference is I come up 15" and tie a 3" loop., then up another 15". If the water temp's ever get cold enough, this is a good rig in the Winter. Don't try this in Badin lake because I lost about 25 of these rigs over there.

Very good winter rig if you can get your crew to pay attention and adjust depths accordingly.

thanks for sharing

That is the rig I almost always use for live bait. I use to do like a carolina rig and then tie a loop about a foot above the weight for the second hook, but the bottom free hook seems to get wrapped up a lot if you are fishing deeper.

I believe it was called a Kentucky Rig.

I used that set up for several years when deep fishing for winter crappie with a lot of success until I started jigging brush piles.

the rig in the illustration is called a drop shot........bottom bouncing is totally different, used for walleye
