Lost pole

[chadwiggins]

Yesterday was our 1st time spider rigging. overall it went a lot better than planned. Started off with four 10' BGJP's. The first 30 minutes, needless to say, was a cluster. After that all went pretty well. After getting in to our groove we decided to put out a couple more smaller rods. This is when this happens. Brand new Abu Garcia.

Every BnM rod, I've ever dropped over the side floated. I assumed that all BnM rods floated. I need to check and see if my Capps and Coleman float.

I've dropped a lot of BnM's as well and they all floated. This was an Abu Garcia...... they sink like bricks.

I've sunk 4 poles over the years ... Caught all 4 ...

*Double minnow rigged 6ft baitcaster
*5ft dock shootin rod

Pitch a marker buoy out immediately ...!!!

Then get out the double treble heavy blade bait and start dragging ...

I just lost a Sam Heaton 12 ft. Bout 70.00 bucks,
Mine blew out of boat, getting older aint no fun.
Forgot to tie it down!!
You might could have put on a heavy weight and trebble hook if you had it and dragged it across the bottom. Your marker had it located.
I feel your loss!

Lol. As you can see, it went down right by the marker bouy. Was going to drag it up before we moved. But... I just so happened to remember it about 5 minutes after picking the bouy up. Go figure.

Waypoint would have worked if you had that option

The best thing to use for trying to grab a rod off the bottom is to use the old metal fish stringers. Open all of them up and have at it.....works very well.
