I run my lindy rigs behind a bottom bouncer and found I can almost always tick the rocks a couple of times and adjust my depth before I get snagged. As for the lindy rig itself my go to is a silver blade and beads with a 3 hook crawler harness. |

I like that style of fishing but it can be tough to use on bottom with a continually fluctuating water depth and constant monitoring needs be employed. Easier if two people are involved (one doing the paddling) or you are just drifting. Big flats where the water depth is fairly constant is best or a shoreline which drops off evenly for a distance makes for more efficient fishing with the Lindy Rig. Otherwise you end up hung more often than not. Can be tough to beat however. |

For Lindys, I use a 1/8 or 1/4 oz lindy sinker, a barrel swivel, a floating jig head and a leech. I've had great success using this setup on mud flats below waterfalls. Any improvement suggestions to my setup? Where and how do others use lindy rigs? |

It is always on the bottom and not usually moving. I let the leech do the work. I have only tried using this technique on mud or sandy bottoms. It seems like it wouldn't last very long on rocky bottoms. |

Sometimes a shorter snell 18-24” is better sometimes longer up to 3-4 feet or add a spinner instead of plain hook and move a little faster just gotta experiment. Then you can experiment with color...blue, red, chartreuse hook...add a bead... T |
