I am no pro, but I only double rig when I'm fishing deep water. I use 1/8 ounce jigs giving me a 1/4 oz. to get to the bottom. I tie them a foot and a half apart, using a loop knot on the top jig to give it a little space for movement. Learned this from Saclait Pat.....and he knows what's up!

What about under a bobber in sallow water?

If i am fishing a shallow jig and bobber, one jig
I like the double rig around bridge columns for sure



Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach

I use the double surgeon's loop on both jigs. Water depth dictates size and distance apart I put the jigs. I haven't used two jigs shallow, 4ft or less, under a cork. But I have used two jigs vertical jigging in less than four feet, but not often.....

Shallow water, not so much. Not enough separation. Bridge fishin, absolutely.I use a 3-way swivel, with a 12" or so leader tied to a 1/16oz jig and a 24" leader tied to a 1/8oz jig. Works like a charm.

I never have....don't see what it would hurt though. When I fish under a bobber it's usually near brush, so I only prefer losing 1 at a time.

^^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^


I use double jigs when fishing bridge columns. You will lose way to many jigs if you try it in shallow water or timber.

Two jigs when spider riggin deep. Use the Huckabee loop know. Look up Todd Huckabee loop knot on Youtube. Fishing shallow 4ft or less, one jig. I seldom use a cork unless it's a slip cork with one minnow.

I only use double jigs in shallow water under a slip cork.... About 5 inches apart, I'm not doing it to fish two depths, I try to use two different colors and two different style of jigs.... Duo Lock Snap too loop knot on the top jig + Duo Lock Snap bottom jig...

Always! sometimes I even use 3! I must admit, it hurts to lose 2 or three jigs at once. I use fireline and more often than not, the hook will bend before the line breaks. I use different colors and styles (spinner/no spinner/tied/tube) at first till I see what they want. I have caught many doubles, but still waitin on a tripple! Heck sometimes I use minnow above a jig, or vice versa.

Unless you are fishing bridges or open water, it would be the guys who want to lose 2 jigs at once.

I like the way you think. It's a chess game with these crappie and I like to tilt the odds in My favor.

I tied bout 50 jigs today listening to the wonderful rain outside. You might say I have jigs to burn. Just like the idea of getting them wet 2 at a time
