    Default Tightlining?


    Maybe the best term for what I'm talking about is spider rigging?
    Boat will be moving at .5 to 1 mph

    I get the heavy weight at the end but , in your opinion, what should the weight of the jigs be above the weight?
    Do they need to flow behind the rig?

    Thanks

    It can be done either way but I put my weight between the jigs.

    Either way! I do the weight on the bottom, you can always know when you are close to the bottom when it bumps the bottom. Your starting point to determine your depth. Your jigs are set in the depth you want on the line, 18 inches from the bottom and how many inches apart you want them. You adjust the depth by turns on the reel. One turn equals two foot, two turns = four foot. what ever your ratio of your line is on your reel spool. Sounds confusing but it works great. You can go shallow or deep just adjust your line according to the depth finder and where the fish are located in depth. It all depends on what the fish want, speed, color and size.

    Brett, I would try a jig about 18 inches above the weight and then above the jig at about 18 inches a blue attack trained minnow.
    Oh! A orange jig head please! You maybe surprised.

    Let me rephrase the question
    How heavy should the jigs be?
    1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/32?
    What's generally the best weight?

    Thanks

    Lite jigs since you have an once weight holding them down.

    The heavier the jig and weight the less your lines will be dragging back when running 1.0 mph. My personal preference would be using 1/16ths just because I already have that weight jig.

    No hybrids in Wylie, unless it a crappie with 3 eyes.
