Still don't know why everyone doesn't use double jigs. I mean, why add a split shot when you can add a hook?! If timber or other jig stealing stuff are present, I understand. But when fishing open water, I don't see it being a problem. There may be instances that the fish would bite a single better than a double rig but I don't think that situation happens very often. Just doesn't compute with me. I love catching doubles, just remember to net the back fish first. Lost a few in the beginning by netting the front fish.
Fishing is like pizza.......Even when it's not that good, it's still pretty good!

i have fished doubles and added a small split shot in the center. when in a stumpy area use light wire hooks from light wire hooker on this site .that is what they use at Lake Talquin in Fla .
retired and now i will always fish
One good cast for me is 30-60 ft. I tend to stick around the 40-50 ft mark most of the time. Where we fish at up this way the creeks can be narrow and very overloaded with boats. You need to keep a short leash to help with maneuvering.
I started fishing doubles but after so long with all those tangles I found that if the fish are biting then singles would produce about as many fish as doubles....as many fish as I wanna catch anyways. Setups and boats vary but for people like me there's just not enough room to have 4 feet between rods so Ive learned that singles with a splitshot (to get deeper) works best for me. So......that's why I fish singles vrs doubles.
