First let me say Hi to everyone. Been lurking around for awhile and just joined a couple weeks ago. I really enjoy reading the reports and different techinques yall use. Spider riggin is about all i do. when i started i couldn't find anything i liked on the market so i started building my own. The first one like this i built was a pedstal mount now i have it on a quick release mount.
My first try. I hope these pics attach.
Dropoff,
Welcome to the board. Nice job on the rig. Guess thats why I stay on here so much. I need all the help I can get.
Hole saw and jig saw no whittling.Quote:

Therefor anything in the swing path of deploy has to be about 30" high. secondly, my boat has a long v shaped bow which requires a long handle on my motor and me moving a lot to operate the boat. and last is that I am still in the process of setting this boat up. so everything about it is still temporary. I will be using 7' bass rods in my spider rigging set up because that is what I have. Maybe they will work, maybe not but atleast it will give me the idea on whether or not I want to spend the real money for a proper set up. Time will tell.
welcome, from cleveland county, ar. home of meatgetter jigs.
Hey dropoff! what part of the state r u from?
Welcome to the board and nice Rig Drop off, you should market those rod holders.:) When I spider rig I now Use two 14 foot rod's, two 12's, two 11s' and two 10's, I like my rod tips about no more than a foot off the surface, just easier for me to look down at the tips, keeps winds from messing with line and tips and seems like I catch more fish with the rods closer to the surface.
Hi strip I'm in paragould, it's in the northeast part of the state. I have started making a few and selling them, but no serious marketing. Afraid that might take the fun out of it, but i haven't dismissed it completely.
Drop off, what did you make the holders out of? Nice looking setup.
Cray, everything is aluminum except the rod holder mount and its made out of high density plastic and the screws are stainless steel. Hard to tell by the pics but the rod holder mounts are a cam lock. You just push the the lever down adjust your rod and pull it back up it lock it in place.
