I've not had the rear jig twist on me at all. The STROLL'R seems to wag it's tail, not spin, in my experience. Maybe depends on how fast you're going. But I've gone from .7 to 1.5 with this rig. I'll be running 1.5 while switching over to jigs from cranks when I feel I need a little slower presentation. But have caught them at 1.5 on the jigs too. This rig allows me a wider speed range to see which speed they want to bite. And don't forget, I'm no pro, I'm just a guber like Billbob. Take my advise for for what it's worth.

Thanks Slab!

I've tried this before and it works great. I went to a gnat'n'minner for the second hook and let the minner free swim with the gnat. Killer!!

I'm going to give that a try. Thanks, Slab!

thanks for the idea. Looking forward to trying it out.

Great looking rig Ed!Thanks for the detail and if we want to experiment we can!

Similar to a drop fly.

Thanks for the info, I'll be testing this out looks great.
