To complicated for me ,but to be sure it works for striped fish quite well ,i bet the same on crappie
Great video! Really enjoyed it! I started spider rigging a few years ago. And honestly, just the thought of learning it wasn’t very exciting to me, it just looked boring. But what made a believer out of me was fishing on a late spring day when the weather was cloudy, windy, and rainy all day. We didn’t think we were going to catch much of anything. We found a large school packed tightly together in about 16 ft. and we absolutely just killed them! And all day long too! That made a believer out of me!
There is definitely a time and place for spider rigging when other techniques won’t work. I’ve learned to fish about every technique, there is including casting, jigging, shooting docks, trolling or pushing cranks, over the last 4 or 5 years.
It’s to everyone’s benefit to learn all the techniques that you can because there is definitely a time and place to use each one.
But when conditions are right for spider rigging it can be non stop action!

I love it, and use the method more often than not, for me it works well for suspended fish before and after the spawn. I do miss feeling the thump but if you want action and want to put fish in the boat it is the way to fish. I used to shy away from fishing on windy days, but I have a friend who taught me how to drift fish for cats using wind socks and your troling motor and I have applied that to crappie fishing and it works well. My wife and I spent most of January fishing parts of Florida and I would estimate that of all the Crappie fishermen I saw 75% were spider rigging, like it or hate it I think its a method thats here to stay.
I think its great ! because it keeps more people out of my honey holes !
Its just not my thing. Most of the places I fish the cover is too heavy anyway. I like the challenge of going mono e mono with my fish. 1 pole, one jig and one fish at a time.

excellent video. to be honest at first I was not to overwhelmed with the technique but since I have spent sometime learning and practicing with multiple length of rods and played with different types of reels I have learned to enjoy and respect what it can do for you.
Enjoyed the video.
I enjoy spider rigging.

It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!
Great video. For me it's relaxing. I really like to one pole also but just floating along watching poles is about as laid back as it gets.
I love spider rigging, and do it almost exclusively. It's just a personal choice.
IMO This video makes it look somewhat awkward (and it is starting out), but with time it becomes a relaxing, and effective way to fish.
