    Default Alabama Rig or Umbrella Rig vs Spider Rig?


    Please forgive my ignorance. I have figured that an Alabama rig is the same as an Umbrella rig but is that the same as a Spider Rig? The Spider Rig seems to be a little harder to nail down.

    a umbrella rig is a rig with multiple hooks or baits ( usually 3 to 5) on a wire frame attached to one line or one pole.....Spider rig is double or single rigs on multiple poles....Some folks where legal spider rig ( or slow troll) with 5 poles per person, some lakes you can only use three. Some states you cannot do either one of these methods so check your state regs.

    Whoops! Right after asking I did another search (here) and found out it's running a lot of rods to where your boat resembles a spider. Interesting. Might be kinda complicated running solo.

    Thanks G. I might need to try it with 2 and build up. So much to do and so little time (even retired).
