i do this weightless with 2 different lures. it's really effective and i often get crappie when i'm targeting bass. i typically use a worm for the top hook and a fluke/minnow on the lower. it basically looks like a minnow chasing a worm. most of the time, they go for the minnow, but smaller fish tend to go for the worm. either way it's a great way to imitate a chasing bait.
Reccomend a loop knot for the bottom jig. It gives the jig more freedom of action. If you fish verticle or cast the jig is free to move more naturally.
*it really sticks in at that point **allabout.wiki/1004** Stripers will often spit the bait out if they feel the line, but by that time, this hook is already stuck in them and it's fish on!*
The simplest and most reliable knot is to thread one end through the jig hook loop, The tie a simple single knot near the end of the monofilament and then tie a slip knot and pull the line in tight. It never slips.
Great video, thanks. I use a similar set-up for yellow perch but I tip the plain jig head with a piece of worm. I can't wait to try it out on my favorite Crasppie lake.
Fl"O"pping cr"A"ppie . Flopping has an O and crappie has and A. You yanks kill me with crappie pronunciation. World wide I may be wrong but I dont care it's an A not an O. I have a Bass Tracker where the decals have been replaced with Crappie Tracker. If I'm wrong, shouldn't it be called a Croppie Trocker? Heck no.
After watching several of your videos, it seems that you never moisten the fishing line prior to tightening the line as recommended by the majority of fishing experts. Why not?
Well I don't consider myself a fishing expert, (just show you what I know) but I have never had a problem with a knot breaking on panfish. If I were fishing for larger species, then I would probably see more line breaks due to wear on the line. It does makes sense that moistening the line would reduce wear when tightening the knot. Maybe I should start doing this? Thanks for watching!
For extra strength with an improved cinch knot, run the tag end through the eyelet twice then tie the knot. You double the line at the pressure point on the eyelet.
I just stick the Line through the jig and pull out about 2ft of line and tie a clinch knot and I have the free 2ft of line so on the other side of the line so I just tie my jig o the other part of line
firstname lastname that’s a very risky way of doing it. If you are using heavy line it is ok, but on light line the tag end of the line will break the knot very easily if it’s pulled on, or if there is any slack in between the 2 knots and the tag end has any kind of sudden impact like a fish strike or a snag. This happens because the tag end is not pulling against a metal eye lit it is literally pulling against your first knot at a very weak point. I used to do the same thing and wondered why there were so many other elaborate tutorials on ways to tie double rigs, and this way was not mentioned by anyone. Well after asking some very experienced elders about this method, I got a short simple lesson. Before you use it again tie your clinch knot with excess tag end and pull from you mainline and your tag end and see which breaks first or if the knot fails, it will break at the knot from the tag end side every time.
Do you find the second method a little more responsive and better at imparting action to the top jig than the first method since the top jig is tied close against the main line rather than hanging six inches away from the main line like your first method?
Actually I have found loop knots give a jig more action. I usually use the loop knot with plastics (tubes, grubs). When I drop shot with live bait or tie two hooks for live bait, I use the inline method. I get a better hook up ration with the inline method when using live bait. That has been my default, Plastics=loop knot: live bait= drop shot knot(inline)
Great video, I fish invasive round gobys for fun and I am allowed to use four hooks on one line here in Ontario. I’m going to try four tiny Marmooska jigs with bits of worm on my line next time I’m out, hopefully I can start catching them four at a time.
Billy Martin you could do it that way too. I think i tied it this way because the knot provides instant reaction when a fish hits the jig. If you're using a loop knot (which is a great knot), there is more freedom for a fish to take the jig without moving the bobber. Hope that made sense. I normally use a loop knot if I'm vertically jigging without a bobber.
Just realized this was not the slip bobber video... the drop shot knot would pull the jig tight to the line, the loop knot allows the jig to move freely and look more natural
50 lb line was used so that you can see how I tie the knots. I normally 4 or 6lb mono which is clear and hard for the camera to pick up. Thanks for watching!
Scot Pender come to the midwest...no one pronounces it like that. That's also why I say morning, morning all you "crAppies". Just a little jab. Thanks for watching.
Its all good buddy, I have subbed and been watching your vids.......great work man! I like the $5 challenge and been watching your bass vids too! Keep up the great work man!
Quick and easy?.....it's a 14 minute video!

With the two different set ups you show, when would you use one over the other? Thanks!
I usually use the first method if I'm tying two jigs. If I use an Aberdeen hook for the top hook, I will use the second method.
Nice work!!
+Bill Smith Thanks for Watching!

Excellent knot tying demo. Thank you for the clearly explained product list too. It is so helpful for those of us who are new at the art of fishing.

What about a triple rig
I've made a video that. Try looking up a triple jig challenge in my videos
Sure are a lot of armchair QB’s posting. I appreciate your video. Stay after em’ and good luck.
For extra strength with an improved cinch knot, run the tag end through the eyelet twice then tie the knot. You double the line at the pressure point on the eyelet.
Why not just use multiple swivels, one for each lure?
panfish have good eyes also the weight of the swivel
U make knot tyeing too complicated....then 'too much talk, not enuff action'...just sayn !!!
Heck yeah mr crappie aka Wally Marshall.. nice video !
Your video is like watching glue dry. 14 minutes to tie 2 freaking knots.
His shaking hands is making me shake too. Goddammit. Jesus christ!. Lol
I just stick the Line through the jig and pull out about 2ft of line and tie a clinch knot and I have the free 2ft of line so on the other side of the line so I just tie my jig o the other part of line

Hey can someone show how to the double crappie rig with slip bobber
Using 50 braid on a 1/23 jig head. Joke
We use that same setup for white bass in the river
Why dont you use a 3 way swivel?
Much to jerky camera
Going to try this tomorrow, thanks for for awesome videos. To much red bull before you showed how to tie those knots? Think I'll try method #1.
Probably..I drink to much in most of my videos...gotta keep the energy up! Thanks for watching!
@@FloppingCrappie it seam like every other, if not ever video I click on to watch is yours! Love your video, very helpful and informative. Keep it up
Thanks!
Shake much 🤔
Nice!!! Would this be a good rig for barge fishing
I don't see why not!
So top jig hook is suppose to face up after tied on. So bottom jig weight still will allow top jig to remain proper position. OK got it thanks.
Yep, thanks for watching!
This is the MOST helpful vid on how to tie a jig knot
i'm glad i could help. thanks for watching!
no more red bull for you
Haha, thanks for watching!
No more than 9” between the jigs in the DNR f-d up state of Minnesota.
Lol what's the reasoning for this? They see it as unfair if they're farther apart?
thanks helpful
Thanks very helpful and very easy to do.
+Jacob Herrmann, You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thanks you for your expert advice, Flopping Crappie! I'm gonna try your method at my local lake that have crappie under a bridge.
Good Luck and let me know how it goes for you!
Make sure to check state regs on the max distance between hooks as well
This is true. Some states have a max distance between jigs, I looked at my state regs and the only restriction is 3 hooks/lures total
Can it be two jigs of of same weight?
yes, the goal is to not get the two jigs tangled. This is why I used a lighter weighted jig on top.
Flopping Crappie you ever fish in Kentucky?
I haven't yet, but would love to try out any Kentucky lake. I've seen some giant crappie come out of some of those lakes.
Flopping Crappie you ever in central Kentucky (Madison county) hit me up I put you on some nice ones!
Thank You, I appreciate that. Hopefully I can make a trip down there soon.
TY good info Nutt'N Better than a Crappie day ;)
you're welcome! thanks for watching!
Thank you. Your instructions are easy to follow.
You're welcome!
Great video and NICE fish!
Thanks!
too shaky...
First four mins of audio was out for me. Love these rigs though.
hmm.. audio seemed to be working when i watched. You may have too many tabs open on youtube. This happens to me sometimes.
Kirk Davis it was only play through my right earbud for me which I didn’t have in my ear at first
Great vids.
thank you!
Great video, I fish invasive round gobys for fun and I am allowed to use four hooks on one line here in Ontario. I’m going to try four tiny Marmooska jigs with bits of worm on my line next time I’m out, hopefully I can start catching them four at a time.

Stop shaking
Why dont you just tie it like you do a drop shot

Flopping Crappie thanks bro, I'll have to try it. I'm going crappie fishing tomorrow and I'm no crappie fisherman. Thank you for your feedback.
Billy Martin anytime. What star you fishing in? Up here (wisconsin) we still have ice on most our lakes
Flopping Crappie I'm fishing at Hartwell, where they just had the Bassmasters.
50lb line for crappie?
50 lb line was used so that you can see how I tie the knots. I normally 4 or 6lb mono which is clear and hard for the camera to pick up. Thanks for watching!
BadgerBlogger At a minimum 40 lb line. You must be catching little ones.
The fish is crappie.....not croppie!
Scot Pender come to the midwest...no one pronounces it like that. That's also why I say morning, morning all you "crAppies". Just a little jab. Thanks for watching.
Its pronounced Croppie, stfu ,,,
Its all good buddy, I have subbed and been watching your vids.......great work man! I like the $5 challenge and been watching your bass vids too! Keep up the great work man!
Trey, thanks for correcting me, I did not mean to upset anyone......sorry bro. Merry Christmas!
Scot Pender same to,you bud,, its all good ,, you cant make everyone happy,,you pronounced it right
crappie, not croppy
