James RickardWeekend tip--the double rig
December 29th 2007 03:39
This is a set up I read about in a fishing magazine and then saw on TV. I decided to give it a shot and I was more than a little pleased. It's called "The Double Rig." It's great when you're fishing lures or artificial minnows!
It's fairly easy to use this rig. All you do is put a 3-way swivel at the end of your line. On one end of the swivel you tie around a foot (30 cm.) of line and the other end used around a foot and a half(45 cm). These are loose measurements and you can use more leader if desired but these measurements keep me from getting snagged. The big thing to concern yourself with is making sure it appears that the fish are swimming together.
The idea is to use lures that are similar if not identical to present what looks like a school of bait.
You can use this rig to present swimbaits, crankbaits, or tubes.
Try it and I think you'll be rewarded!

Until next time--watch yourself and watch your line!
