Guys I need your thoughts on these.
My idea when bottom bouncing. Tie one of these on with a loop knot about 18 inches long. Leave a 2 foot end and tie your 1/2oz weight on . Hook a minnow onto the bug and start bumping the ledges of the river channel. The bug will free float with the minnow attached. Thinking #2 and #4 hooks.
Actually I think it is a great idea for bumping the bottom
Should work nicely on the end of a Carolina rig setup. Send me a PM on details.

I have been using floating jig on crappie rig with great success. You need to use a little stiffer line, or the will tangle on the main line.
Yeah I figure about a 10 pound test. You figure??
I dig it, Doc!
I have used floating jigs on Carolina rigs before...to me that is a good way...no problem with tangles. This works great in shallower waters. However in deep water crappie are not usually at the bottom but suspended somewhere in mid depths.Quote:

They should be on my website in a few hours. On the special page
Those will for sure work on one of my lakes, fish hold steady just off the bottom (30' or so) in late summer and fall. Drop shot would work good... rocky bottom and would much rather loose some weights than jigs.
River boys would love those for walleye during spring spawn as well! ;):cool:

10 lb should be fine
