spider rigging reels?

[Tom 513]

I ended up outfitting all 8 14ft poles, with Southerncrappies sidewinders, there inexpensive and all 8 poles lay nicely on my pt175 deck. Only time i miss a ratio reel is when they pull a lot of drag out.

For spider rigging, I started out using Shimano FX 1000FB spinning reels and last year I purchased
Abu Garcia Max bait casters with thumb bars (SMAX3-L). I am right handed but got left handed reels. I like controlling the rod with my right hand and I am use to spinning reels and reeling with the left hand.

Ive learned to swing my fish and bait, sidewinders are like a bamboo pole with the benifit of a drag.

Low profile bait casters with a thumb bar
x2 I replaced all of my reels with bait casters for spider rigging from wally world and have been very happy

I use the mr crappie in-line reels. I’ve never spider rigged deeper than 20 feet so I don’t have to reel very often. When you do get a big catfish or carp it gets pretty interesting lol

I use low profile casting reels, they work fine and it is easy to adjust the line depth. Spinning reels are ok but a pain with the long handles to store. I use the ice reels for my single jig poles.

I have the reels from Ed at Southern Crappie, I ended up putting high vis on also to a swivel. I had fun last spring during the spawn with them.
