Comment by John Sheehan on June 7, 2013 at 9:01am: Tried out this Crappie Tandem spinner/tube jig rig from shore the other night but couldn't reach the feeding rise I suspect where Crappie (maybe White Perch).I put more line on the reel and it casts about 50 ' now. Anxious to try it out in the boat. I have a rubber float stop before the top spinner and the bottom spinner is tied into the line .when the tubes wear out I'll use twister tails.

Comment by John Sheehan on June 3, 2013 at 1:20pm: Thanks Dick! Time to utilize the spinner worm rig and hopefully score on Perch and Crappie .They both taste good!

Comment by dick tabbert on June 3, 2013 at 12:54pm: Again John I happen to know perch love them little spinners to. I think it catches there eye and brings them to the bait. When we use to fish Erie we always used spreaders and I always made sure mine had spinners on it and I usually out fished the rest of the boat then they finally got wise and I had a hard time keeping spreaders on the boat. But I think it will work fine for you and I'll be trying that spinner before the jig sounds like a good one and again thanks.

Comment by John Sheehan on June 3, 2013 at 11:38am: Hey Dick ,thanks for the response ! I rigged up a tandem tube jig with spinners ahead of each bait today .Anxious to give it a try. Not sure when I'll have the chance! Hope those Perch propagate for you .Love the taste of Perch filets!

Comment by dick tabbert on June 3, 2013 at 10:40am: John I haven't been out yet due to my circumstances here at home. I'm itching real bad to get out. I have fished the pond some that's a vent that helps me a little. I stocked 300 yellow perch this spring in the pond and they are more than willing to take my jig. I haven't thought of a spinner in front of the jig but can see how it would increase my chances and will put more thought into it and thank you for relaying that to me. I know crappies like shinny things and I know I have caught than on inline spinners before so that makes it all that more encouraging. Again thanks John and GOOD FISHIN....

Comment by John Sheehan on June 3, 2013 at 6:22am: Hey Dick have you tried fishing an added spinner on your line ahead of those fine jigs you made? Edward C. Janes in his book , 'Freshwater Fishing Complete' swears that it greatly increases the success for Crappie !
