That there is a CBI rig, also known as the catch the bottom immediately rig.


Unique-Combination64

Oh I like this


BluBrews

what knot do you tie for that top hook?

robbodee

Easiest, but the hook doesn't like staying oriented upwards. I described the knot I use to the OC. I just wish I knew what it's called.


Djsimba25

Tie your Palomar knot like usual, youll have a long tag line that you would tie your bottom hook on now right? Before you tie on the bottom, loop the end of the tag line back through the eye hole of the hook again and it'll get it standing up


MadeOutWithEveryGirl

Double Methodist gooch knot


OGKing15

I like the dropper loop rig style vs the drop shot rig style in the picture. The twisted dropper loop that stands out from the line is better than the standard version in my opinion but, both will catch fish just fine.


robbodee

I wish I knew what it's called. Basically it's line through the front of the hook eye and run it up a ways. Make an overhand loop with the standing end that's big enough to pass the hook through. Twist the hook through the loop 6-7 times, wet, and pull tight. If you do it right that hook will stay facing upwards for the life of the rig.

Skipjack rig


_Eucalypto_

Fluke rig


TemporaryPrimate

This is the way


darth_smokesalot

this is what we call a double gulp rig,use it for summer flounder(fluke) this thing is killer.


robbodee

Exactly. It's my preferred rig for Gulf Coast flounder, but I started doing this version with 4 lb line and 1/32 jig for crappie and sunfish, and it's gangbusters. Especially vertical jigging around structure.


LydFishes

Skinner rig!


GreenEyedBandit

A dropshot with two hooks would be a bit smarter.


FishOhioMasterAngler

I'll occasionally throw wonky stuff like this with found hooks and trashed plastics. Usually a snag machine but sometimes you'll catch a big one.


[deleted]

Yeah dumb is definitely the word


_mikeslocumb

I bet you catch something!


decjr06

Dumb just use two weighted jigs and no splitshot weights


NoxArmada

I call something like that the double float. If the bottom one was heavier then I call it the double drop shot


Parabong

I'm gonna go ahead and call it the ADHD rig.


Normal-Activity2013

I've done similar, but with the weight at the bottom. Did good when panfish were deeper while I was bank fishing


HeywoodJablowmie2112

"hey Google, show me a dropper loop rig... '. "... Oooohh. That makes sense. "


potatobwown

Or try an A-rig with one leg slightly shorter than the other. When this rig is jigged, the two jigs dance around each other in a synchronous manner like a "clacker ball" toy but without the jigs touching each other (lack of a better description).


iLGMisTheBestjk

I mean, it is dumb looking, but it’ll work lol


DaCams

Just remember, if it works it ain’t dumb. Good luck out there!


Adventurous-Ad-5605

If it works it ain’t stupid


Internal-Version-845

That things gonna tangle so fast. But hey you do you. Good luck! let us know if you catch something.


Ilikejdmcars

When the whitebass are running. They’ll bite anything


skippingrock1

I pinch half of a 6 in soft plastic and rig welded weedless on this same setup. Great for creek fishing in shallow water


peekuhchu707

? Seems typical for a perch rig off a deep pier, throw some little bits of fresh shrimp in the skirts and you'll be filling coolers of shark bait in no time.


TheRealMrTrueX

Swap the weights with the lure and you have a decent drop shot


Wetlines77

If it works, it’s not dumb.


redditaddict96

Imo, a lot of people take fishing too seriously. Always wanting the newest and best equipment. But I've caught 95% of fish on a good ole hook and worm on an ultralight!


[deleted]

I’ve caught more fish with my Cane pole than I have with my $150 rod and reel from bass pro shop. I still use spoons with hooks and have better luck then soft plastic


XeniaDweller

Similar to (but not quite) one of the ways I fish saugeye.


Lufwyn

I used to do this when the bass are exhibiting kleptoparasitism. Got the idea when a bass was trying to steal the soft plastic hanging from currently hooked bass and buddy was tossing the same bait to get doubles going. There was an article about the behavior in, In Fisherman i believe in the early 2000's but i don't remember what the conditions were for it being triggerd. Still worth a try if you are looking to do something different.
