Has anyone every set up their tandum rigs like this pic. Im going to try it out and see how it work. First jig is on the main line it.

2nd jig is tide to the swivel that separates the two.

I tie my own but don't use a swivel.....take some 40lb berkley big game,about a 3 foot piece. The reason I use the heavy mono is it is stiff,too limp of a line they will stay tangled. Tie a 1/4 oz jighead to each end. Then make a overhand loop knot,3 twists so it does not come apart. I just eyeball the distance between the two baits,don't want them too close or you will not have a good chance of catching a double. I can show you how to do it one day,it's not hard. They work well when the trout are hitting under the birds.

this is what I do when I make double rigs too

This.

What is a double rig?

Must be on of them there eastern things
































:rotfl: :work:

Alpha your rig is the setup like the double rig I use with weightlless flukes. It works great. Now sure if it will work work with jigs.

Donkey rig....always wanted to try it with trout.

Whats a weightless fluke?

That's how KVD rigs his. Works very well. Good luck!

Way too complicated and time consuming for me!!!! With all the kids, I take a section of stiff mono to keep it from tangling and tie jig heads to each end. Then I tie an overhand knot for a loop to tie my main line to it.

Designed for bass but I'm sure trout and reds will hit em...

We've caught trout and reds on Flukes before

You'll lose a lot of fish on the strawberry/white jig if the fish ever decide to not pull directly against pressure. The swivel will run up and down the main line, resulting in not-so-tight line.

You need at least 18 inches of space between baits (when they're lined up head to tail being retrieved in the water) to catch two trout. Trout need much more space than bass.

I have always used the speck rigs out the package but I might try making one and see if it is as good.

I do this.....but only in Grand Isle

It won't be as good. Don't you know the manufacturer sprinkles magic dust on their double rigs before packaging? :shaking:

I rig mine the same way, catches plenty of doubles and its easy to separate the fish to help prevent a hook in your hand from the other jig

Thats how I do it. Fool proof

I actually made mine with about 2 ft for the 2nd on to slide on. Then I connect it to the main line. I didnt want to tie up one pole for this set up.

Yep, I have only fished doubles around dulac and grande isle. Just recently started fishing them offshore out of the Vm. bay with Some success. Previously never fished doubles others than the east though.
