Spidder Rigging ???

[Jameslin]

Hey guys I have been spider rigging Minnows on the capps and Colman rig and have done pretty well this fall but my question is this.Do I need to add jigs and flys to the arsenal as well when i am trying to locate fish.If so what rig do you guys use and can you explain how to rig them and fish them.
Thanks James

I always start out with jigs / minnows...half and half...and let the fish tell me what they want....

as stated I do the same. I run 8 rods in front with jigs and minnows 2 on the sides and 8 in the back with various jig and minnow combinatios. I also use swivels to help with line twist

Thanks guys what about the set up is it capps and Coleman or Kentucky rig how do you tie the jigs and fly to your lines.And do you run them Thur the water column at different depths until you find what they wont.
thanks for all the advise.

I think the basic difference in the two is...

Capps and Coleman rig (from top down)-
- mainline to a 3way swivel-
- one eye of 3way swivel has leader to a hook or jig
- other eye of 3way swivel has a longer leader down to an egg sinker and a regular swivel
-bottom eye of lower swivel has leader to another hook or jig

Kentucky rig (from top down)
- mainline to a 3 way swivel or dropper loop
-one eye of 3way swivel has leader to a hook or jig
-other eye of 3way swivel has a longer leader down to another 3way swivel or dropper loop
-one eye of lower 3way swivel has leader to a hook or jig
-other eye has a leader down to a casting or bass sinker

Maybe someone will post a pic for you if they can find it...

I'm Lazy.

I just use crappie rigs for spider-rigging and keep a few ready made on noodles. All I have to tie up is a leader for the jigs or hooks.
