Some how I've gotten a hold of some 12-14" steel leaders. Don't where they came from, but I know what they're used for. However, I want to take 2 different size minnows, flukes, or shallow running cranks and link them together where it looks like the bigger fish is chasing after the smaller fish. I know for flukes that there's the double zulu rig, but I think the other 2 would be a good idea. I just don't know how to accomplish it.

The steel leaders has a barrel swivel on one end and a snap w/o a swivel on the other end. Obviously the snap would go to the bigger fish imitator. But how do I connect the barrel swivel to the smaller fish? Keep this in mind: If I tie off a short line from the swivel to the smaller fish then I risk getting them twisted on a cast. If I can directly connect the swivel to the smaller fish, then the steel leader would be stiff enough that the back fish wouldn't get hung up on the smaller fish, or worse, on the main line.

Conceptually it would work. My boy was working a 4" worm one day. As a small bass was going for it, a much bigger bass was going for the smaller bass. My son got scared and only got the smaller bass, but he could have very well gotten a 2fer.

Any ideas would be appreciated. If you could throw in some pics or drawings, then that would be great as well.

Split ring from barrel to hook or lure eye.

Aha! That's exactly what I need. I'm thinking I would have to remove the back treble hook from the front fish imitator, which may or may not affect hook up ratios. Thank you so much! Out of curiosity has this every been done?

I run a white fluke behind a white swim jig quite often about 10 inches back and bps makes a double crankbait

Is that the BPS Double Take? I seen that one and read the reviews. Seems like it doesn't run true as much and there's problems with the one in back getting hung on the line or hung on the one on front.

I've seen some else running a fluke behind the jig on YouTube. Looks interesting, but (this is gonna sound contradicting to my post) do you ever wonder if you should just throw the fluke? Then again I've thought the same about using scents. Something like I should just throw a pencil with scent on it. I know that skill and the lure's action are a huge part, but sometimes I do wonder.

How do you connect the line from the fluke to the jig? On the hook or on the jig eye?

First thing you need to do is check your local fishing laws. Like the number of hooks per line/lure etc... Ive heard of places that consider a treble hook as three hooks and only allow one barbed hook per line. So cranks are out of the question at these places.

Seriously, I'm not a big fan of treble hooks, but that would majorly suck. I fish at a private lake so I don't think that normal laws apply. But even if they did, I am quite sure that here in Georgia we don't have to worry about that. Heck, they use the alabama rig here (umbrella rig). Thanks for the info, though.

No problem logan. I just learned about a few of these "wierd" laws while on a fishing trip up north. Wasnt sure how wide spread they were...
