marabou jigs question?
i have seen many anglers fish with these jigs for crappie and white bass. they seem to have tied 2 of them one higher than the other one but there is only one knot above them. which knot are they using to achieve that? is there any info in the web so i can practice that knot? thanks.
In my area all the crappie fishermen that use the jig poles and jigs use from 3 to 4 jigs on each line to cover the different colors the crappie may want and different depths. Some will tie on the top jigs with a Palomar knot and the bottom jig with a Trilene knot or improved cinch knot. But the real pros will make a loop in their line and make it about 8 inches long. They will then cut the end of the loop at its longest point and tie on a jig. They repeat this method with all their jigs except the bottom one that is tied on normally. This way the jigs that on above the bottom one will have a more natural action to them then if tied in a direct line on the main line.Plus you will not miss as many strikes because the crappie suck the jig in their mouths and it is much easier to achieve this with the jig on a single line extending several inches away from the main line. And here’s the link to the best knot tying site on the web.
