Jimmy, when your using these rigs are you anchored, drifting or trolling and if trolling how fast? My latest rig is four downlines with fish finder rigs, two up front and two off the back corners. The fronts with 1oz and the back with 3/4, it's important to keep the heavier weights up front and the lighter ones in the back to keep from tangling,the lighter weights will swing away keeping more distance between the lines, may have to increase the weight a little to fish deeper then my usual 10 or 12 ft. I use fairly long leaders around 5 ft, 12# mono main , a 10# floro leader, and 1 or 1/o red wide gap finesse Gamakatsu. I also run a planer out each side also with a fish finder rig. I don't have line counters so I tie a bobber stop at a given distance from the weight to help with keeping track of how deep they are and try to fish them in relation to where I mark the fish, much like you or fish them at mixed depths to hunt for feeding fish. I slow troll this setup anywhere from a 1/2 to 1 1/2 mph, weaving the boat and varying the speed to keep the baits rising and falling and of coarse use herring for bait usually hooked as close to the back of the head as possible. Jigging for stripes or anything for that matter will be new to me so all the rigs and tips are very much appreciated appreciated. There are a lot of ways to skin a cat or catch a striper, lets hear some more. Ya have to give a little to get a little.
Would love to catch a nice walleye, my pb so far is about a ft and I would love to improve on that.
