    Default tips for spyder rigging on windy days


    As alot of us do, you have to fish windy days. when spyder rigging I try to move down wind stern to the seas. this takes alot of the bounce out, but i still have alot of rod bounce. I use more wieght 1oz. Is there any way to slow the bouce down? would more wieght and speed help. Thanks for any help.

    Change over to long lining in the wind....no bounce then.

    Drift socks or dragging chains helps a lot.

    Thanks guy`s. I do switch to longlineing when it`s to windy. I have tryed buckets but did`t seem to help much. maybe a drift sock works better.
