I've seen a few folks do this so, I put together a rig using PVC pipe and a large umbrella. Thought I'd share if anyone else is trying to figure out how to beat the heat this summer and still stay on the water. Was very happy with how this turned out. Was on Limestone Bay on Wheeler yesterday afternoon for some fun. Caught a lot of those long toothy gar, one good sized cat and only one crappie. Water was 80 and I was just bumping around trying to figure out how to spider rig with some jigs. Crazy stuff when you have a 3' gar tightlined on 5' of line!
