Thread: Using Jigs When Fishing

I was wondering about using jigs I use both minnows and jigs. I was trying to see if I should take the weight off of the crappie rig when trolling with two jigs.Or should I leave them on I am catching plenty of fish but I am trying to see if I let the jig head be the weight will it be more effective.



Thank you and god bless

I pull 2 jigs 1/16oz. on my 12 ft rod and the same on my 9 ft rod with weight placed in between the jigs. I run weights depending on depth and speed. You need to play with it til you get it right for conditions. I'd rather use weights to get the depth I want rather than putting out real long lines.

You can use quarter oz. jigs tied on with loop knots and you shouldn't need extra weights.

If you are 'catching plenty of fish'--smile.

I agree with Rawhide.......In the morning/late evenings I just use 2 jigs but during the day, I put a #7 (most Times) between the two jigs........works for me.
