slimey's post got me to thinking. Why does everyone say that you should keep your lines vertical when spider riggin? If you are gonna speed up to the point of needing more weight to keep the line vertical, doesn't the presentation go from vertical to horizontal? I was under the impression that the advice of keeping lines vertical was to help you keep your speed slow enough for a vertical presentation.
If I have misunderstood and the meaning of vert. line position has nothing to do with speed, then what difference does it make if they are vertical? Depth control not withstanding, of course.
