I have a "sort of spider rig". Its a 4 pole holder attached to a board I wedge into the front of the boat. It sort of works. I have 1 12 foot rod and the rest are 10 footers. They are really too short to avoid spooking the fish unless you are covering water. My experiences with spooky fish this year are starting to convince me I need to get the real deal, or at least some 14 + foot rods. Not my favorite way to fish but it would come in handy pre and post spawn with the scattered, moving fish, and with spooky winter fish. Might work well in fall also for fish chasing shad. I could use some recommendations of which poles are suitable for the purpose.
