At one time years ago when I fished the F-n-F rig it's setup was: main line attached to a threeway swivel, a round or pear shaped float clipped onto one side of the the threeway swivel, then a lighter line running off of the last ring on the swivel down to a small hair jig. Usually the distance was between 10-15ft of set depth depending on what you were fishing around.
I am sure the rig has changed some in years since and been perfected more. This setup was the allow you to rock the jig slighty not moving much laterally while it sat in the water.
It is a great way to catch winter fish and I have used it with success along bluffs on Old Hickory in winter catching more largemouth than smallies. But like any other winter time technique its painfully slow to really fish it effectively. If you like fishing that way it's great if not it will drive you crazy.
