I am fairly new to the concept of spider rigging and have not actually attempted it yet. I am modding my 15' flat bottom and plan to put a couple of spider rig rod holders. Not sure about trolling and spider rigging, but I like the idea to use the rod holders even when anchored and casting out to a honey hole.

My question: when you are spider rigging while trolling or drifting over cover, do you get your hook hung up a lot? If so, any tips or suggestions on how to avoid this or unhook quickly to avoid a mess with 6-8 poles?

I can just see me slowly drifting over some wood and one pole gets hung up, the next thing I know I'm trying to make my trolling motor zig and its zagging, poles are wrapping around other poles, and the fish are just laughing at me...
