When trolling shallow water, say 2-3 ft. deep, do yall go with single hooks with the weight a foot or so above? When using a double rig, when the top hook is a foot or so deep, the bottom hook and/or weight drag the bottom. Thanks!

We were fishing double rigs today and the top of the rig was at the top of the water so the top bait might have been 6 inches deep, even caught a double on one pole!!
Usually fishing that shallow consistently I'll just remove the top hook.
Me too Charley but we caught a couple on that top hook, was just trying to get in a couple hours between storms so just went with what was on the poles.
If I've got a couple feet of water I use the double rig with the weight in the middle. I always tie a few with the hooks no more than twelve inches apart. Ii never use the Kentucky rig if I even think i might get in 4-5 fow.
Given your situation I would have done same exact thing.Quote:

If using a 1/2 oz. do you still use weight ?Quote:
