I usually fish one jig at the end of the line with or without a float above it.

Do any of you fish 2 or more jigs off the same line? comments?

At times I do tandem jigs. Those times are when I have accidentally found some crappie. Not a great crappie fisherman by any standards. But occasionally I find some.

I only tie two jigs when fishing bridges . You can lose a whole lotta jigs pretty fast in brush if you tie on two jigs. Every one has a prefered way of tying two jigs. I prefer using a three way swivel.

I usually fish with one jig. When the conditions are tough I use two just to increase my chances.

I plan to try 2 jigs tied like a bait fishing rig & worked like a drop shot.
heavy (1/2-3/4 oz) sinker at the end. 18 inches up a jig (probably on a short leader), a second jig 18-24 inches further up. I can fish this by jigging the line (leaving the weight on the bottom) or if it is a little choppy out I could add a float 2-3 inches above the water depth and let the waves jiggle the jigs.

Probably wont cast well (may helicopter) but I can just flip it out a few feet.

I use a drop loop for both jigs. I tie them about 14-16 inches apart. I have tied 3 on once. I caught a tripleand lost all 3 fish who remained hooked togeteher. No more triples for me.

This photo may not show you much but this is my usual rig...

The leaders are usually 12-16" on 1 ring and 18-24" on the other. You want your jigs about 12" to 18" apart.

So they aren't on the same line? It looks like you have a three way swivel on the end of the original line then two other lines off the other points with the jigs. Am I in the ballpark? Thnx

I am totally shocked by all the 1 jig per line and swivel setups. Not that anyone is doing it wrong, but just not the way I was raised jig fishing for Crappie in Kansas. I use the same technique here in Texas. 2 jigs on the same line anywhere from 9-18" apart. 1/8th oz jigs too. wow, a little in shock.

This is all boat house/marina type fishing straight down and little hang ups. 2 jigs lets you throw 2 different colors at them and the weight gives you a great feel and movement.

That's the setup. As noted before, this rig is most effective when fishing bridge column's. Over brush, it's bye-bye jigs. crying

I use two most of the time espically when I spider rig. If I am just walking the bank I tend to use one. When I use two I keep them 15" to 18" apart. Once I find what color they want I will put the same color on both jigs. Sometimes I will use a jig and live bait to get things going. Hope I was some help.
