I understand the single an double dropper rigs but this one confuses me a little.  (Sorry I had to split it up into 4 separate images because I couldn't get the whole thing to fit in one with my camera.)




I am assuming the main line gets tied to this swivel?




My real question comes in on these next two images.






Does the weight get attached to the sliding fishfiner in the first image above or to the clip at the end of the rig like on a dropper rig? If it gets attached to the clip what goes on the fishfinder? If the weight goes on the fishfinder how/what do I put on the clip?

You are looking at a JIMMIE rig.  It is actually my own design and is kind of popular with a few guys around here.  Sorry I slipped a few of those in on you, but you might like them.  They are a compact version of a double rig and redfish rig rolled into one.

You are correct, the bare swivel goes to the main line.  The weight gets clipped to the slider, and a hook gets clipped to the other two hooks.  This gives you a true carolina rig on the bottom, and a single drop rig on the top.

That rig works best tight lined, using just about any type of weight except for a spyder weight, because it tends to tangle in the spider weight, although, I have been known to use spyders on them when the conditions call for it.

I like the name.  :)  Thanks for throwing them in there, they look interesting and will get used, no doubt about it. I doubt anyone around here has anything like it so when they asked how I caught them can I call it a Pferox rig and tell them it's a secret?  :)

If you need more of them let me know, I have a big box full.  IF you get some interested people go ahead and sell them to them for like $10 a piece.   ~roflmao
