I fished the spider rig hard the year before last about this same time of year. My grand total was 1 bluegill and 1 bass. So far this year I'm still batting a zero. I'm sure it might be fun if they are biting. I spent all day today fishing over through and under brush piles with the spider rig with jigs. Nada. If anyone would let me go with them to learn what I'm doing wrong I sure would appreciate it. I can go any day of the week except for Sunday. If you fish minnows I'll buy plus help with gas.
