Minnow rigs

I am looking for some minnow rigs. I usually get them at Murray bait, but have been having trouble getting them. I have found them at the bait store in Aurora by Belews also but they didnt have the wt we normally use. It is a double rig with gold hooks and are wound onto a cardboard tube. Some have the wt in the middle and some have it on the bottom. No brand identification on them. Was joping to find online and order but havent been able to locate them. Anybody got any ideas on the brand or where to order.

Have you called Ken's in Lake City? Can't remember for sure where I have seen them but have somewhere. Looks like Grizzly Jig has them on page 149 of their paper catalog, just have to call them. Looks like can buy 3 packs or 30 packs from Grizzly in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 and 1oz. Lots of stuff not on their website.

Many thanks to you pab1981. Finally found them on the web site. Ive used the capps and colemans and other brands but none are as good as these IMHO. I think I will order a bulk pack to keep on hand. I like the 1 oz. the best. Does a better job staying vertical when slow trolling. The 3 pack are $5.00 + at the bait shops.

Might try Fast Eddie's as well. I'm sure they have them.

You can get those same ones from Grizzly Jig. Get online and sign up for their catalog. When in serch of hard to find crappie gear they usually have it.

You fellers have been a lot of help. May run over to Kens and pick up a few until I can order in bulk from Grizzly Jig. Love me some minnows in the fall.

Grizzly Jig has tons of them

Sure you've consider it, or maybe have done so in the past. Tie your own rigs, a heck of a lot cheaper that way and you can use a good quality line that will last a lot longer. It's tedious work, but a good hobby for when your bored. For $50.00 or less you could tie an awful lot of rigs with several different size weights.

Like Snubby said....make your own! That way they are just like you want. Takes a little bit to iron the kinks out but you can make them a lot cheaper than you can buy them. I was just at a work conference and I took my rig making kit with me and made 60 rigs over 4 days while in the hotel at night.

I'm not an expert, but of all the rigs I've tried, I've had the easiest time with these of any rig:

Hardly ever a tangle. Just the right balance of line type, line length.

I usually make my own, and experiment a little with different setups. Gives me something to do when I can't go fishing.

I take advantage of idle time and tie my own. Order bulk swivels off eBay (way cheaper)). Tie up multiple sizes and different jig heads. I wrap mine around 12”lengths of pool noodles. The hooks stay in the foam and keeps the rigs nice and neat. Easy to roll off and re-rig the rod quickly.

Those Grizzy hooks dont bend much. I use rope when I fish these rigs.
