If there is not a single thread dedicated to spider rigs and a sticky in this forum, there should be.

How do you tie your spider rig and why?
Do you use seedless jig heads?
Do you use barrel swivels or not?
Do you use barrel weights? If so, what size?


A good list of types and sizes with variations and when to use them and why they work better would be an awesome tool to share. I would be glad to consolidate it all in this post and edit it later or if the moderator will I'll be glad to help out.
