Boy you just opened a heck of a can of worms.
I am gonna make one suggestion and then let em have at ya.
Get in the boat with a couple of folks close to you and see what they do and how they are set up. Surely the folks in OK would be willing to do that for ya. Here in MS we do this quite often before we start rigging, you could fish with 10 different folks and they are gonna be set up a little different and have their reasons why. Just a thought. Grizzly Jigs has a heck of a deal on the pinacle rods, 4 for 60 bucks and they fish good for spider rigging or pulling cranks.
Good luck to ya.
