I am new to the spider rigging set up myself. I purchased all of my 12ft rods from Grizzly Jig Company out of MO. They are the West Point, MS BnM poles. I also purchased the Bucks mini crappie reel to go on them. This past Saturday was the second time I have had the group fishing and they did great. The poles are $25 if you purchase 3 or more at a time, and the reels are $12. Go online and buy them, they will ship them to your door quick. They beat everyone that I found on the net, even the manufaturer!
