Nice catch, I wasn't brave enough get out in the wind. Hoping I can get free Monday and try them myself.
I built my own spider rig, bent my own rod holders and picked up most of my knowledge of the technique by reading this forum and picking some old and new buddies' brains... but it paid off.
I figured there was nothing like a trial by fire for all of the equipment and my newfound knowledge so I set out for KY Lake in this afternoon's 25 mph winds.
I'm pretty happy.
I'm not sure what the one in my left hand weighs, but she's a hoss.

CATCH A BIG-UN
I am glad to hear that your efforts paid off. I too am fairly new to the world of spideriggin. I probably wouldn't havent even attempted it had it not been for the wealth of knowledge on this forum. I built my own holders ,first for a fiberglass boat and then moved to a large aluminum and doubled the amount of rods I could run at a given time on the front.
I have been doing it about 5 years and have not had any information on the subject other than this site. I don't know any one personnaly in my area that I could go with and learn. But I have had some success and keep reading and researching the issue and love it when people tell in great detail on how they have been fishing this way.
I love casting for them with a float but I have realized the potential to beat the crowds and still hit the stake beds when its right yet , be able to fish here ( Ky.Lake) way up in the summer , or until it gets to dern hot to stay out there long.
Thanks for your post and I would appreciate updates on how you are catching them and what you knowledge you pick-up doing it. It just might pertain to me in my area. I know I would appreciate the help because I dont have anyone but guys like yall to get ideas from .
I thank everyone for their help , I love to read yalls indepth post. It has made me a better fisherman and I have more understanding on the subject just do to the time all of yall give to help people such as my self . A big thanks and kudos to the site facilitators.
Jesus Saves!!!!!

Looks like you done good! With the time change, you should be stocking the freezer with something other than flatheads every afternoon.
