The Eagle Claw Double Hook Minnow Rig is a great way to cast or troll for trout and panfish with minnows. The unique minnow rig securely holds the minnow in place so it will not tear off or curl, providing the best presentation. The included slotted eye needle easily threads the rig down through the minnow's mouth and out the vent. The hook can then be placed on the rig and adjusted to your liking. The Eagle Claw Double Hook Minnow Rig places the hook toward the rear of the minnow, hooking those short striking fish. These rigs work effectively with minnows up to 3" in length. The Eagle Claw Double Hook Minnow Rig works best for trout and panfish, but can also be used for smaller bass.
