I spider rigg and was wondering if live scope would benefit me. Based on the information you have provided, it looks like it would. I use lowrance electronics as that was on the boat when I bought it. The LS would be set up to itself. Trying to justify the cost but when you look at the big picture, boat, truck, poles and equipment, none of it adds up. I just like catching. Give the biggest part of my fish away to friends and family. But I do want to give it a try and probably will.
