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.

LOl! No matter how crafty I think I am, there is always someone with better ideas. Those are all some nice set ups. I am hampered by a few things on my boat that keeps me from building a bar type rigging. 1 is that my boat has a low freeboard which makes my trolling motor set high in the mount. 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.
