    Default Looking for spider rig setup ideas on 17' bass tracker


    I just bought a tx17 bass tracker and was looking for some ideas on a spider rig to put on it. Not really wanting somthing complicated just to be stable. Trouble in what I come up with is my trolling motor comes back on the deck side and the spider rig will have to come down for me to move from spot to spot on Lake. Don't really know what to do.

    Go to Sponsor Classifieds.....look for E-Z Poleholders ad......order you some Spyder Lok rod holders and also order a slide track for your base plate to use on trolling motor side.....then you can just loosen two knobs and slide your rod rack out of the way of your trolling motor when stowing or deploying it and then slide your rod rack back into position.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    I have a tracker pro 17. Basically same rig you have. I run 2 tite loc holders on mine. Loosen 2 knobs and she slides off the base plate.

    I have a tracker as well and put my left spyder loc closer to the center to where I can loosen the center knob and turn it parallel to the trolling motor where it will just pass when it lays down

    My G3 is the same way and I use tite loc holders I made a new center section and hinged it one knob to tighten it down and a pin works pretty good Name:  IMG_0700.jpg

    I no longer have my tracker but this is how I had it set up. I used EZPOLE HOLDERS slide rack to mount my Spyderlok. It allowed me to deploy and store my trolling motor without taking my Spyderlok down. You mentioned stable, so I must say a 2 man set up in the front at times was to much for my Tracker. But I am a big guy. Good luck in finding a setup.

    Just make sure you mount your base plate in a position so the trolling motor will clear with the Rod Holder while attached in the upper position. I used the Spider Lok as well because the horizontal bar is easy to turn in any position or direction. When I'm ready to deploy or pull the trolling motor all I need to do is ensure the top horizontal rod holder bar is turned to clear the motor whether going up or down. Too easy.
