Got my spider rigging stuff ready to go. I am going to try it for the first time tomorrow morning. Right now I just have jigs on both hooks. Later on I might try some minnows. We will see how it goes. Hope the wind stays calm at least till noon. We will see....

GET YOU SOME MINNOWS for the rez. I MIGHT be up there in the morning, not sure yet. Really don't want to be tired tomorrow night though but may go anyways for abit
Hook a minnow through the lips on those jigs....thats what I do.
same here G. I'll run some red hooks on a few at different depths, then some straight jigs, then minnow tip a few til I see what they want. Course I'll have 16 baits in the water at the same time so I can give them plenty of options. a BOOFAY LOL
Another thing I do is I'll get medium and large minners. Never know what size bait they want. I have seent them up where he's going want tiny minnows in the winter. No more than a inch n a half long
tip those jigs with minnows
Good luck Double G.
DD, I spider rig wif big minners all year long.Quote:

jigs tipped with a minnow work the best for me
I use the Gamagotsu (however they are spelt) octopus hooks Be careful with them cause they are some kind sharp. 00G, alot of use minners and I do love using the bigger one's like Wannabes long lost twin Minnerman does but sometimes at barnett they just won't take them. I get mine at Q & M and usually the medium are the right size but I normally get 50 medium and 25 large. Course it takes 16 minners to load all my hooks up with 8 dbl rigged poles out. Then it you pick up and move, there goes those 16 minners out the window
SteveJ spider rigs w/out minners. Course he's the man on Okatibbee. And don't you forget it!!!!!!
I think Scottv will argue with that....just saying :D
Well I was hoping to use some curly tail jigs and stroll'rs and go a little faster to get some action out of the tails of the jigs to try and get a reaction bite. Kind of like trolling crankbaits but with smaller lures. Looks like the general consensus is jigs tipped with minners all the way.

Funny thing 00G is that sometimes you have to bout sit still with bearly any movement to get them to bite if they are finicky
Yeah thats a good point... I got a lot to learn!!!!!!!! If you tip with minnows, I assume most just use a tube tailed jig? I guess a curly tail or stroll'r would not have much benefit if you got a minnow on the back... I do have some crappie nibbles and the bait pump I want to try also.

I have both hand tied and tubes I use. Donnie's hand tied were the ticket last weekend. Boy makes some fine jigs wheather you want some of Sats jigs or regular jigs, ole Donnie ties them up right. Go look at his website 00G and get you a few. Crappie Logic I just called him abit ago and ordered 20, 4 colors and 5 of each
DGOO I don't use minners, got tired of the wife claiming I had a girlfriend LOL
Haha.. Yal crazy... I will have to get me some of those jigs. They look real nice DD.
DoubleG
and they work lilke a charm
You don't have to use minners. I've seen days that all they wanted was jigs but have also seen the opposite as well. We buy minnows only a couple times a year. Most of the time jigs will catch just as many.
Thanks for the info mchappy.. I really like the look and action of the stroll'rs. Do you know what speed it takes to get a good wiggle out of them? 0.5 mph or more?
