Thread: Setting her up for spider rigging

Have never spider rigged for crappie but want to give it a try. Wasn't going to mod out my boat for it - at least not at first. Love fishing outta my kayak at the cabin but didn't have the perfect kayak. The Outback didn't have enough room so I sold it and bought the 12' native slayer. Decided to get it fixed up the way I wanted before putting it in the water. Added an anchor trolley and may add a second one to the other side. A couple of gear tracks behind the seats and since I already had 3, I decided to use the Scotty rod mounts. Using the track I can move, add or remove the bases however I want. I Want to be able to fish with 6 poles if I decide to sooo - cha-Ching! Scotty mounts ain't cheap but by adding a little gear track I can use them anywhere I want. Plus everything can be easily removed for hunting season. My fish finder mounts on a Scotty mount also and I'm thinking in the center like in the pics is gonna be best. I can put it on one of the side tracks if I want. Transducer mount may have to be changed but I'm gonna try the suction cup as shown since it is so easy to add and remove. The actual caddy holds the battery and it all can be removed and carried to the cabin for recharging. The kayaks are already great for bush hooks and noodles and I shouldn't have any trouble casting jigs for crappie like I do from the boat now. Got me a nice visipole with a big flag and light so the bass fishermen can watch me to see how big of a wake they can make! Enjoying setting it up for now and can't wait to get it in the water and give spider rigging a try. Including a pic of the way I have my poles set up with headless jig tubes

I like the rig, still looking for one for myself. Thought I had one today but it wasn't meant to be.
