I use the pool noodles
I'm with you Cane Pole. We used to buy them at the boat basin below Ky dam in the early 70's. Both, with weight on bottom and hook on bottom.
The only way to have a good fishing spot is to make it yourself!

Hey, guys
My buddy, JayDon of Fishing guide handmade fishing lures fishing rods reels crappie jigs slabs soft bait Texas brought these to the club last summer.
We all were using pipe insulation before this.
Best thing yet for the same ky system I use too, with a few modifications.
Our BPS handles them too.
lindy riggers, pretty much the same as the pic, bought mine at grizzly
I clever quip fishing ironic statement crappie!
IIn another thread in this forum, Ronnie Capps stated that he learned this rig from his grandfather and that it was done that way for years on Reelfoot Lake. I guess it just got its name recently because of their success on the tournament trail.don't know, but I was buying a similar rig on a cardboard stick before either Capps or Coleman was born. I guess we can split hairs on any claim to fame though.
Thanks dad for teaching me to love crappie fishing!!
I'm glad to see somebody say this. I've fished with people who couldn't get any fishing done for snagging a Kentucky Rig when I was fishing the same stuff and almost never snagging hard. It takes patience and paying attention, but you can feel your way into the brush and feel your way out. Seems like you catch the fish right before you would have gotten snagged.
I use pool noodles and pin them on with saftey pins. I bought a small plastic storage bin that will hold eight of the 10" pool noodles. Keeps them dry and tangle free.
