Dubuque rig

I’ve heard of these dubuque rigs, I know they use 2 jigs, a heavy one on the bottom. Can someone enlighten me as to how to tie one up. Thanks in advance for any help. Ron

I tie my main line to a 3 way, then from the bottom of the 3 way (dropper) I tie on a jig head about 12 inches down heavy enough to maintain bottom contact, on the other swivel I tie on a plain hook with a float, or a floating jig head anywhere from a foot to 3 feet in lenth.
I think this is correct, but I call it my meat and potatoe rig. Sometimes the fish want the meat on the bottom, sometimes the potatoe on the top

Yep Ritt, that is how we do it in Dubuque

Thank you, that’s exactly what I was looking for. I wasn’t clear about the three way or if there was a way to tie a dropper directly to your main line ( some kinda wacky knot ) Thanks again, Ron

Hey ritt
You said you put a jig head on your dropper. Do you put plastic on it like a twister tail or a paddletail? Also was wondering if you could even use a hair jig.

Sal, You can use anything you want. Experiment. I usually use a twister or ringworm. Sometimes with and sometimes w/o meat. Have used hair jigs to. Just make sure you can feel bottom.
