Spider Rigging. Love it or hate?

[ET Fish]

Certainly not my favorite, but I know it has a place in the arsenal.

Thanks for the video Scott... I love to spider rig, but sometimes it really can be frustrating.. like when I had 6 poles out and hooked a 4 foot gar... had to retie 4 of the 6.. minutes later hooked another smaller gar and had to retie 2 that time. Hope to see more G3 shows in the near future!

Love spider rigging, especially when I get to do it two man, and even more when I get to do it with my dad! But I catch myself hating it when I find a brush pile or tree top the hard way

excellent video Scott. I use any technique to put fish in the boat. It is so hard to find a day when the wind is not blowing.i like to spyder when the wind is not blowing.

Conditions play a huge part in choosing to do what when . Successful people find what works and when .

Tried it and did not like having to manage the minners all day. Great way of catching fish though.

I always run jigs regardless which state I'm fishing when spider rigging. Most of the year, I prefer to use crappie nibbles instead of minners. The fish like it too!

I have never spider rigged and was just wondering only running four rods why did he not spread them out to both sides of the boat seems it would cause less trouble?

Generally speaking, you want to be able to see all the tips of your rods at the same time ... so you can instantly see when one moves while the others don't. If you spread them out too far apart, you're constantly turning your gaze from side to side or one pole to the next to the next .... and may miss a subtle bite.
