We don’t spider rig but pull cranks off back of pontoon. It’s perfect. Every one has a good time plenty of room and anyone can reel in a crankbait with a crappie on it my 3 year old grandson will reel them in. This is 3rd year for ours it’s a 22’ party barge and we can have 10 folks on board with plenty of room. Plenty of shade and plenty of couches to kick back on a take turns reeling them in. These last 2 high water years been great. This year is allready looking good for plenty of ground to cover. Also be great for older folks to tag along. Very stable. So for large groups it’s the only way to go and be safe. If one was going to spider rig then you would want to get the fishing barge.
