I’m looking for some suggestions for setting up 3 way rigs w/ stickbaits. I had some great luck late last fall pulling clown shad raps on a 3 way rig… they seemed to like the profile better. In that situation I ran the dropper for both the weight and the Rap about the same length. I haven’t found the right mojo for the equation w/ stickbaits yet, though, haven’t fished them enough to gain confidence. Any input would be appreciated.
Here’s some previous discussions on the topic that should answer many / most of your questions. If you don’t find what you’re looking for here, don’t hesitate to start a second round of questioning.
James thanks for posting that I know I learned somthing there. Another way to lose cranks… Sweet.
James;
How long of a leader do you typically run on your 3-ways???
For bait on floating heads I run 3′ – 6+’. Shorter leaders around real sticky cover and longer in low flows or when the bite is a little touchy.
Cranks are in the 5′ – 6′ depending on the baits being pulled.
thank you sir!
hey, thanks for the info., I really appreciate it… can’t wait to try these rigs this spring
Does anyone have a good picture of a 3 way rig?
Scroll up to the first post by James and check out those links! 
it doesnt show a picture of the rig itself just the crank baits used for the rig …
Actually it does. Click on this link, it’s one of the 3 above. The post with the photo illustrating the 3-way is the second one.
