They are low profile and i just like them better for trolling or vertical jigging. I prefer small-medim sized spinning reels when fishing deeper because it is easier and faster to get the bait to the depth I wand. Just think small and ease of use when choosing a reel for spider rigging because as previously stated, it is just a line holder. You will hear lots of opinions on subjects like these because it is all trial and error, but you will develop a preference as you try different rigs and methods. Good luck.

never had that problem with these. Dont have to fill them to the top with line , I only put on 100 ft which doesnt overfill it.

i like the reman thumb bar bait casters. inexpensive and comes in super handy when fishing by yourself. real easy to work the fish with one hand and net him with the other...

I've been using Walley Marshall Solo reels for spider rigging and I really like them. My 2 cents.

Whatever is on sale. I have a kennel of mutts that work.

I also use fly reels. The cheap ones. Work great. Used them for years.

Ditto , only way to go if you fish alone for sure . Allows you to get slack while only using one hand . Slide the fish right to you . jmo .
