I make a Capps and Coleman rig with a half oz.weight I put fas snaps on my where I can change my hooks or minner critters! !! I always use minnows when spiderrig. !!!!!
No idea what any of that is. Ill google it i guess
Google will be your friend if you put in "Capps and Coleman rig":biggrin
Buy you a Capps and Coleman rig and just copy it. Like Meatgetter I tie snaps on mine for quick change of jig's or hooks without changing entire rig.
x2!
Log onto Grizzly Jigs website and order a catalog! They make and sell great pre-tied rigs along with the capps and coleman. I tie my own for reasons that I prefer but they will all catch fish!
There are faster, cheaper, and easier ways, but none better. Don't over look the rig with the weight on the bottom. I think it is called a Kentucky rig. I use both.
I usually put the weight and swivels on a 10 or 8 lb and use 6 for the leaders. If you hang, you just lose part of your rig most of the time.
Be sure and powder paint your weight. Occasionally a fish will hit at the weight and knock himself out and you can just dip him up. Saves on minners. If you are curious about the colored weight, just
Hey Randall I have seen that thing on the bottom of that rig some wear? ???
Yes sir, and it is a dandy. Dang it, I shoulda blacked out that part before I posted.:ThumbsUp If someone asks the number, I ain't tellin. Them orangie looking ones will get you the big fish though.Quote:

I use a one ounce weight on bottom, then come up about 18" and tie a loop in the line for first hook, then up another 18" and tie a second loop for hook #2. I add jig bodies to some of the hooks and leave some with just plain hooks. Just depends on what they are hitting more. If hitting just plain shiner then take some jigs off. Hit they are hitting a particular color more then add more of that color etc... Tip all with shiners tho..
Worked pretty decent this past Sunday afternoonAttachment 152511
I have some capps and coleman rigs I'm going to try one of these days tho:ThumbsUp
Try the Duolock snap in #1 stainless. thats what i use. My ole fingers wont work those fasnaps anymore.Quote:

Yes, it is a Capps and Coleman. Don't let the junk I put out full you. Tie a couple hooks/jigs/minnercritters (which work really well) on some string with a weight on the bottom or in the middle, and you will be good to go. After that, it is about fishing. You are trying to catch a fish that has a brain the size of a thimble that has 2 things on it's mind, eating and spawning. Fish eat everyday, cold fronts, warm fronts, rain, snow hail, or volcanoes, even when completely full.It ain't rocket science even though if people can make it seem that way it "makes them look smarter".
However the above being said when you tie remember these things....You gotta tie something that will store good. You gotta tie something that will wrap up on the rod at the end of the day (unless you want to unrig everytime). You gotta tie something that will not tangle everytime you drop it in the water. You gotta tie something that is easy to deal with if you hang. When you tie something like the above, you will catch fish and enjoy doing it.
Good luck and catch a bunch of fish and post up some awesome pics.
All you need is 2 hooks 1 snap swivel and 1 weight. Tie on snap swivel attach weight of choice. Come up the line tie a loop knot just big enough to thread the hook on then come up the line and repeat that's it your done no tangles no mess very inexpensive and very productive. You can use road runners heads or jigs heads with jigs on them tipped with minnows or just the heads with minnows they all catch but the bare hook with minnow works just the same. Give em all a try and find what works for you. That's the basic set up.
I tie some in the C&C style but I add a spinner to the top hook. If the water is clear I use natural colors and silver spinners. If the water is stained I use a gold or chartreuse spinner.Sometime that vibration on top will also cause the bottom hook to wobble making ole mister crappie think that minner critter is hurt and needs to be eat! Here's a couple of pics!And I use a stand-out hook and horsehead sometime when the wind is down and I am moving slower and fishing shallower.
Slablapper I am having a hard time following your rig too many loops. Can you post a pix with it straight so I can follow our line better. Interesting
Since I'm off work and it's too cold to work on my boat shed I pre-rigged 3 Capps and Coleman rigs. These things can seem to tangle themselves just looking at them! I'm wanting to try them out when I get to go out.
I did a little drawing. Hope you can make it out!Bowhunter your little girl could knock some of these out in no time!She sure is a cutie!Quote:

I took another shot of the diagram. May be clearer.
I have been playing with the C&C rig - not catching much but amazing how easy you can work it loose from a hang up......in the water....it's deadly in the boat!
Well I went back Saturday to try it again. Used my rig mentioned earlier in this thread and tryed a C&C rig also. Ended up with 37 none under a pound and would've had 40 if I could keep count better! Haha. The biggest two were 1.74#. I have to say, I caught more on my rig. They just knocked the fire out of it! The bite on the C &C rig was real light.Attachment 153092Attachment 153093Attachment 153094
