That picture is helpfull,   I like that rig.
Personally I would even try a Bucktail to replace the sinker. It's an extra hook natural appearance.  Might be worth a test run. t^

Here is my original post on that rig.

Reckless: If nothing else you have given some of us a new rig to use. I like that myself, and yes a picture is worth a thousand words in this case.

Just a question for you. What is the spread of the hook between each other and where are you spacing the drop loop?

So I can make one up for myself ;D

Don't really measure it but top loop to second loop far enough apart so they don't get tangled with each other. Middle loop to end 18 to 20 inches.

How about this:
Make up the same rig but cut the leader where you are now putting the dropper loop. Attach a 2 oz trolling weight in between your now two pieces of leader. It will not 'slide' as an egg sinker would but I think it would accomplish what you are looking to due (less hardware, etc).

If you think this would work I have the mold for these type sinkers and can make a few trolling weights for you with swivels on both ends to attach the leader. (free of charge Frank) Just let me know if you want to try it.



Sure Joe!! Would really appreciate that!!

Thanks reckless I'm going to make some up for me and the wife.
I don't know the key to success,but the key to failure is trying to please everybody

Summer would be fine. Don't fish for winter flounder.

Hey Frank, I made you a half dozen of the 2 oz sinkers. They have swivels on each end to attach your line. I can give them to you at one of the site 'meets' we do this winter.
