    Default tite lok vs. hi tech


    Looking to get into spider rigging. Which would y'all get? Pics of your setup would be sweet too so I can get an idea of how to do mine.

    had tite lok, they are OK but when you grab your pole you have to go forward to get the handle out of the back of the holder. Now have hi-tech grab pole and raise up and it's out of the holder. like'em much better.

    truth is though it's a "ford=chevy" type of thing and you need to try them for yourself to decide. There's so many different kinds out there and they all have a following Good Luck!

    I have never had a problem with my Hi-Teks and have used them now for 4 yrs on a jon boat setup. Easy to adjust as well as completely remove/install.

    I've been comparing and shopping for a spider rig set up for awhile now, I've decided on Cumberland Crappies 360 4 pole T bar, I mainly like the adjusting knobs on the bottom of the bar for quick and easy adjustments, plus I like the idea of using square stock as opposed to round bars, they are a tad more expensive then the rest, but I can make it back up using SouthernCrappie throlling poles that are cheaper and are made of a kevlar/graphite mix, plus reels of 20-30$

    I have never used the others mentioned, but I can highly recommend Hi Tek. I don't have pics of our set up exactly, but here are a few pics with some of the hi tek stuff in the backgrounds getting used hard! I ordered (over time, would recommend just getting all of it in one shot!) 2 sets for the front, 2 sets for the back, a pedastal for the front fishfinder, a net holder, and finally the transport rod holders.

Size:  55.6 KBI put one of those single plastic vertical rod holders on each of my hi tek sets. Gives me a good place to put the rod when I'm baiting up or taking a fish off. Also good holder for an umbrella! Hi Tek is really rugged.
