I feel the same way man. I spider rig reelfoot lake in tn and couldn't imagine anything else. I love feeling the thump while jigging, but the window is so small for jigging the crappie off the cypress trees I'd just rather spider rig anymore. It's much more consistent. We don't have a pole limit here, but I only spider rig with 6 poles. I couldn't imagine any more than that by myself.
