I’m interested in adding an extra jig a foot ar two above the regular jig. Anyone have any wisdom about what knot to tie or what size jig head to use (or no jig head but just a hook)? I figure one jig is good but maybe 2 is better.:dono
Tryin to keep up with the folks fishin not one but 2 minners per rod is no easy task!
I seldom do that except in winter fishing open water . You will loose alot more trying near cover !
I use a simple loop knot that CP showed me. Tie the first jig on with the simple loop knot with a long tag end. Use the long tag end to tie in your bottom jig with another loop knot.

my favorite way,,, some folk do 3 some to 4 wraps through loop
I have used double jig rigs before, I have never caught a fish on the top jig. I have no explanation for why, but that is my experience.

Loop knot on top jig. 18 to 20 inch spacing. Caught several 2fers.

I do it when I'm trolling jigs. I've tried it with limited success when jigging. I just use a standard loop knot with a long end.
I have never trolled for crappie so my use of the double jig rigs has been casting or vertical jigging. I know it works well, just hasn't been the case for me

Sure causes more hang ups . We used them on Atkins in winter in the bar ditch and Piney for extra weight but caught few doubles .Quote:

Absolutely gonna get snagged more, but sure is fun catchin doubles! I use two loop knots anywhere from 12-24" apart depending on what we are doing.

used to use a double jig setup, but spent half my time retying from the hang ups. catch twice as many now since i am fishing instead of retying :fish
I don't think the goal is trying to catch two fish at a time, it's to present your bait at two different depths ....:fish
That jig eye trick worksQuote:

I was up in fort smith last year and bought a 100 pack of jigs from a pretty nice bait shop there in town. It had a second eye on a swivel behind the head for that purpose.
Maybe someone can chime in with the name of the bait shop. They had great prices on jig heads too.

I went today and my double jig set up was working great, no hang ups at all and no fish. Soon as I got into the cover, caught fish and lost jigs. Finally just kept fishing with 1 to reduce re-tiesQuote:
