I'm fairly new to spider rigging and have been rigging my rods like the others I fish with, or get advice from, which is a small crowd.
Anyway, it occurred to me that using a drop shot setup might be an effective spider rigging technique.
Currently I am using 3/8 or 1/2 oz slip sinkers on 6 lb test above a swivel depending upon the depth with a 2' 4 lb test leader to my jig.
Does it make a difference?
I could see the drop shot style maybe being more versatile if I wanted to jig a brushpile and then troll with the same setup?
There are literally centuries of experience on this forum, what say you?
