I have been tying my rigs for many years very similiar to these skipper rigs. I do one variation where I put the bottom hook closer to the sinker so the minnow will be about 2" below the sinker. For some reason when the bite is slow that minnow bouncing on and off of the bottom seems to entice the perch to hit it. Many times I have caught 80% of the perch on that one low hook.

My suggestion to anyone that cares is to make the snell length of the hooks coming off of the main line shorter. I've tried so many different variations but found the best is a snell length about 3". I don't know why but I catch way more doubles & even trips when the snell length is 3". Keeping the length this short also keeps the hook from wrapping around the main line.
