I've been interested lately in trying to fish a C-rig with double plastic baits.  I've read articles where anglers will tie them with the likes of a 3-way swivel, with different leader lengths, so I have a good idea of the mechanics-

What I'm wondering is, how does one keep the 2 leaders from getting tangled up with each other on the cast and sink of the lures?  Maybe I worry too much about that?

If anyone with experience doing this would be willing to share their thoughs, it would be appreciated-

When Bass are schooled up I sometimes fish them with a double fluke arrangement where I tie a fluke to a barrel swivel and thread it up the line then tie another fluke to another short piece of line tied to a different barrel swivel. When both barrel swivels are together hanging down I want the lead fluke to hang about an inch above the second fluke. When you work this arrangement on the fall they look like two fish swimming tandem. When you spook it, the baits go in different directions. Some guys use a jig up front for the weight and a trailing soft bait for the back bait. With the rig with the three way if you rig two baits on the three way swivel with the weight ahead of it You shouldn't have much of a problem. If you rig it with one bait and your weight on a drop line on the three way and a lure on a tag line tied to a barrel weight threaded ahead of the three way will also work and it will help keep the bait off the bottom. The double fluke rig I mentioned I have used for years with no weight and I know it works same with the jig rig. Both do at times get fouled up but not enough to be a pain.
