    I love spider rigging 6 poles for Crappie, but being honest when I started two was almost too much most days. If I thought I'd be more effective I could move to 8 now, but I'd miss to many bites. Some of the other board members that I fish with always wonder why I catch more. Same water and same bait. I don't get more bites, I just don't miss many fish.

    Don't over think it, get a kayak. Get on the water and pay attention to the fish and enjoy it! I went out last month for half a day and didn't catch a single fish. The first time that has happen in years. I had a wonderful time, the not catching didn't matter in the slightest.

    I am a member of the Hobie fishing team. Look at the pro anglers. They're on the pricey side, but very stable and pedal driven. Hit me up and you can try mine.

    Lppastor,

    I've looked at Hobie but was always concerned I'd damage the pedal drive system. Many areas I fish is pushing and dragging through an inch of water between the deeper holes sometimes.

    You can run the pro angler pretty shallow and the mirage system is very durable. You can also pull it out easily when you get in shallow water and paddle it. It is extremely stable and the seat is second to none. Come down to Guntersville and let me let you try it before you decide. PM me and I'll send you my cell number. In fact, if any of you want to try it out, let me know. It's a great platform and a ton of fun.

    Lp pastor is right! The PA is the ultimate. Two drawbacks - cost and weight. I have an outback which is the smaller, lighter version but still pricy! BUT the pedal drive makes it a completely different fishing experience. You do have to be careful and mindful of the rudder and fins when in shallow water but both are easily managed if your careful.

    I would still love to let you try out my pro angler. It would be awesome to have a 80 year old using it.
