I am getting rigged up for Spider rigging. I fish mainly at Nimrod and Dardanelle. I plan to buy BnM Pro Series trolling poles and I am considering `14 foot length. Before I order, I would like some of your opinions as to what length poles you use and why. The advantages and dis-advantages that you have experienced.

Also, what about reels for the poles. I fished with a guy that was using 16 foot poles and had little spinning reels on each. When he hooked a fish, he would throw the anit-reverse switch on the reel and reel BACKWARDS while lifting the fish. This kept the fish where he could reach it without having to flail around trying to reach up and get it !! I couldn't get the hang of it, but it was my first spider rig trip.
