[fayetteguy]

im new to crappie fishing and i have seen alot of stuff that i am familiar with such as jigs and such, but what is a sabaki rig? i have tried searching with not much luck. any pictures or basic description and halp is appreciated. thanks guys, and this is a great place. i wasnt into crappie fishing too much until i went with friends at night and caught 27 crappie, 3 of them right at 3lbs. i was amazed to say the least!, we got them about 45 ft down, we were in 78ft of water, this was at lake jackson in georgia. thanks again guys.

i tried to delete this post, but couldnt figure out how, bc i bet if i spelled it right my search may have been better, its a sabiki rig , with multiple hooks to catch small bait fish, or bigger bait fish. i was going to use something like this to try to catch striper bait. sorry i took up this space but if someone can delete this post they can., thanks again guys!

I have a couple of those that I have never unwrapped -
what they are is a pre-tied rig for catching baitfish.
the ones I have are I think 6 feet of about 10 lb mono with
little "flies" spaced every couple of feet. They have a loop on
one end to tie your main line to, and a snap on the other to put
a weight on. I saw one show where they were catching herring
to live-bait stripers with, and instead of a weight, they put a big
diving plug on it and pulled it right behind the boat (trolled).
I bought them to catch shad and skipjack below Pickwick dam,
but have never got around to using them. Got them out of a Offshore
Angler (Bass Pro Shops) catalog. I have thought about getting some
with bigger hooks and trying them on crappie - the ones I have use tiny
little hooks about like our number 14 or 18. The hook sizes on them are
confusing - must be some sort of Jap or Euro sizing - the hooks get smaller
as the numbers get smaller, backwards of our small hook sizes.
Mine are called a number 6 or something, but they are tiny. The ones
that look like they might work for crappie are called a 14 or 15,
and look to be about the size of our number 6 hook. Where did you
hear about them? Is somebody out there already using them for crappie?

well i was talking to a guy that cathes herring on them to use for striper fishing and he said sometimes crappie get in them, rarely though. i was trying to find out what a sabiki rig was and he never got back to me. i am hoping to catch herring to striper fish with, so they arent used for crappie that i know of. thanks for the detailed info!
