How to tie A 2 Jig Rig
How To Tie a Double Jig Rig For Crappie
Sharing buttons:
oh man that boat is filthy after
yesterday I am super super not excited
to clean that off as you can see the
sun's out it's warm everything's melting
everything slushy it's all really just
trashed it's gonna be a little while
before this boats clean anyway welcome
back to another video guys just gonna do
a really quick one here this morning
about something that I've gotten a lot
of comments about especially since I've
been crappie fishing but it's how I tied
my double jig rig it's really super easy
if you guys haven't actually looked that
up yet but it's probably one of the
easier little rigs to tie so I'm gonna
show you guys how to do that while I get
a couple of my customer rods rigged up
here alright so the double jig rig for
crappies it's a real simple rig super
easy to tie I like using two jigs
especially with customers number one
just because crappies often bite at the
exact same time so often catch a double
you know two at once that's always
pretty fun but it really helps you kind
of dial in what color or style of bait
that they're gonna be dialed in on that
day now I can't necessarily say that our
success rate has been higher because we
use two jigs you know a lot of crappie
fishermen are super super dialed in on
just using one jig which I do a lot of
the times as well but for the most part
the rigged up with two it really helps
keep that weight down there too
especially on windy days short of using
one bigger jig but more than anything
else it really just helps me rule out a
color style a bait that those fish might
be biting on at any point in time during
the day so here we've got our ten pound
braid mainline here and the first thing
that you're gonna do is just tie your
first jig on just like you normally
would with whatever knot that you prefer
so now that you've got your jig tied on
trim your tag so now you've got your one
jig okay that's the first part of the
step now the second part of the step is
where it gets just a little bit
complicated but it's still pretty easy
so now with both of your fingers here
just pull out I'd say around 12 to 18
inches of line that's about the space
that you want between the two jigs I
mean you can have them as higher as low
as you want but I think the way that
those crappies position on the brush
sometimes is usually about a foot foot
and a half or so so again 12 to 18
inches then you just go ahead and pinch
your braid there now with your other
hand make a loop in that braid just like
so and then flatten it out now this is
the other reason I really liked using
braids because when I tie this rig it's
almost impossible to do it with
monofilament or fluorocarbon but with
braid you can really flatten that out so
take your loop flatten it out and grab
your second jig so now with your second
jig you're gonna take that loop that
you've created and flattened out put it
through the eyelet of the jig keep your
tag in together there and now you've got
this here so you've got one loop pinched
on this side and then the other mainline
along with that loop end together on
this side so now all you're gonna do
literally is basically tie a Palomar
knot so it's almost just like an
overhand knot and you may have to switch
sides depending on which side is more
comfortable but basically just take that
loop end wrap it around your finger now
with that wrapped around your finger
right there go through the loop that
you've created through the eyelet of
that hook put your finger through it
both fingers and then grab that loop and
then pull it through so you're almost
there that's the that's the
second-to-last part of it so now with
that loop separate it with your two
fingers and then grab it with your pinky
and bring that jig all the way through
so now we're at the point we're ready to
cinch that not down with that I can just
drop my pinky out start cinching
everything down like that I know it
looks kind of messy at first and then
slowly start to cinch that knot the
biggest thing is that you don't want
that loop to wrap around the hook or the
eye or get on to the wire keeper right
there which it does happen a lot
so as long as you just go real slow you
can cinch that down so now pull on the
bottom jig and you've got your double
crappie rig right there now if you guys
are familiar with the Palomar knot I
know this is a very popular knots to tie
like a drop shot and you can make this
rig you can tie this rig just like you
would a drop shot where you would take
your mainline tie this first jig on up
here with a Palomar knot like a normal
drop shot rig and then leave enough of a
tag on to just tie your second one on
which if you had a drop shot rig that's
where you'd be tying your weight on but
the benefit of that Palomar knot up top
is that your jig is always gonna hang
horizontal you want both of these baits
to sit as horizontal as possible in the
water so that they look completely
natural you never really have to worry
about this one at the top it's always
gonna sit horizontal as long as you tie
the jig right but then this one right
here sometimes with braid and I've seen
this tip 150 times on Facebook
sometimes that braid will get on this
side of the jig head or the eyelet right
there what I always like to do is
especially want to give her odd to
customers or pull their baits up is just
make sure that that cinches down to the
inside of that eyelet and that helps it
hang a little bit more horizontal on the
water column so there you have it your
double jig crappie rig and this is about
you know a 12 to 16 to 18 inch gap just
depending on how much you want but you
can tie you can learn how to tie a
regular drop shot rig and just tie it if
that's a little bit easier for you but I
find this to be super quick super easy
and that's my double jig regret there so
I hope this little quick tip here that I
didn't really want to incorporate into a
whole fishing video helps you guys out
if you were wondering how I tie that
double jig rig but again a real
effective rig for ruling out colors and
bait styles when you're trying to figure
out what the fish want on any given day
so in the meantime I'm gonna finish
getting these rods rigged up and ready
to go here think about washing the boat
edit this video up and I'll catch you
guys on the next one thanks for watching
