I could see were that would come in handy if you were changing your jigs plastic baits quite often.

Interesting rig. I will be giving this a try in a few months when the ice melts away. The float is a line through the middle style, so how do you put the stop knot on so you can adjust it?

Take a look at this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmObHx_Qkn8 I make my own stop knots. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/showt...rdrop-ice-jigs Slide them on the line and cinch the knot Discard the tube. Then add the float and other components.

Remember the theory from Al Linder and also from In-Fisherman magazine. You have to attract the fish and then trigger the bite. Things like a bead moving will attract a fish. The lure and presentation will trigger the bite. Try this in a fish tank and you will see what I mean. Those fish literally dart from everywhere to see that little red bead moving. I will also sometimes use a bead between the sinker and barrel swivel to protect the knot and also for adding an additional sound to the rig.

In this illustration are u using a a snap to put your hooks e
ye through so I can change them?
