2 piece / 3 piece Rods For Spider Rigging

[chippo]

Probably mount mine in metal trey beyond front deck the tray is above bow storage area. Also I will have to remove port side rod holder from base to aces trolling motor up and down from bracket. But the seat is close to both set of rod holders. Gonna make it work. So 14 will give me the reach I need

That may be your best bet. Consider measuring the distance from the back of the holder on the T-bar to the front edge of the trolling motor head, and then deduct that distance from a 12' rod length. That will give you the length of rod out in front of your trolling motor. You might be surprised at how short that 12' rod really is

A couple of things I may have failed to mention : I only have 3 rods that are 14' long - I only have two sets of rod holders (w/4 bases) - I only use both rod holders up front when fishing solo & pushing jigs/cranks ... I don't have more than 4 rods out at any one time (that's plenty for me to deal with )
