Attn: Spider riggers--need advice on storing poles.

[SLAB MASTER]

Just wondering how everyone handles your long Spider Riggin poles. I am using 14' BnM Capps and Coleman rods. I don't have any way to mount rod holders on my boat because the consoles and windshields are in the way. Currently I am breaking them down each time I am done fishing. This is kind of bothersome and I am hoping somebody has as better way of doing it. I can't leave them assembled. Just looking for suggestions. It very well may be that I have to tear them down every time. Your thoughts and suggestion please.Thumbs Up

I know someone will be along shortly with pics. I have seen the pics before, just can not find the thread. Someone has a way of adding holders to their T Bars that looks great.

Here is how I have mine 14ft. BnM

I like the way yours are orgnized. BTW....you better get those nasty old Miller Lights off the garage floor before it ruins the concrete ! Ha! What holds them rods in the front?

[wilbur]

Its one of those computer cable ties. I got it screwed to the floor,it just bundles the tips together, They have felt on one side and velcro on the other

Look at the rod transport pictures.

Wilbur,

It looks good the way you have them in your boat. I can't do it like that as my boat has a console and a windshield that would prevent me from doing it like that.

Thanks,

SM

Get the drift master tip savers but get the offset set. They have all 8 holders to one side. That should clear your obstructions. Also get 2 pair so that you can support them better. I use up to 18 ft poles on my 16 ft boat.

These are a few pics of the rig to give you a better idea. I have them down both sides of the boat so I can keep 16 plus rods organzed and ready to fish at any given moment.
