My question is,if I spider rig with two rods one on each side of the bow,knowing my speed will be a bit faster,making my rigs hang at at least 45° angle,can I use small cranks,and jigs? ,and will I be able to turn without the typical cross over I deal with now when long lining.I know this is a lot of questions,but I'm looking for others experiences,thanks.
