You got my attention! Can you explain to me just what spida-rollin is, or is it classified information?:dono

It is very simple Nixon. All I do is spider rig at a long lining speed (.8-1.2 mph). I use a 3/4oz weight to hold my jig at what ever depth I want it. Takes ALL the guess work out of size line, size jig, how much line to let out for your jig to run so deep, and so on. A VERY simple method. If I run over a school of fish, I can turn around on a dime because I know how deep my jigs are. Long lining you have to make a wide turn. I can go in any cove and fish it at a long lining speed. If the fish are biting slow, guess what, I can slow down to .1 or even stop, because I know how deep my jigs are. I feel the way I fish is a win win situation. Hope this will help you understand it better.

Nixon he left off the part about needing to have a crime dog...dogy sniffs the air and scratches on a large map showing Spider where to fish I've seen him he's a beast:Rofl

Just for that Quick, crime dawg just doubled his fishing guide service fee for you. Now everyone knows your secrete on how you catch your fish.:Rofl

Nice Job Doug !! Sorry i haven't had a chance to hook up with you this year but this new job is kicking my tail. Keep up the fine work!!

Ok, so tell me about your rod set up. I actually use a variation of this a lot when I longline. My standard setup for longlineing is 14', 12' 10' out each side and 7' and 5.5' angled out the back. One day I found myself wanting to push jigs and just had these rods in the boat, So I rigged for that. The next time I went I wanted to longline and was by myself. After re rigging 4 of the rods I just plain got lazy and dropped the 10' over the side rigged just like they were. They caught just as many fish as the longlines did. I use that a lot now.
So, my question .....when I push jigs or minnows, I usually run 8- 14' rods across the front. When/if they get hung up I/we are generally running slow enough to be able to back up in time to prevent anything from getting broke. Will I be able to do this at 1+ mph. My main fishing partner is a 12 yr old, so I need good rod management skills.LOL

I fish 12 B n M rods that are 16' long out the front. I have been fishing this way for the past 4-5yrs and NEVER NEVER broken a rod. Yes, you do have to pay attention when you go to a new area. That is when good electronics is a plus. In some areas I fish, I may have 25+ waypoints marking snags. Very seldom do I run 1+ mph, but I can if I need to. Most of the time I run .8. If you look at the tread "Boat pics" on this forum you can see my set up. Those are 12' poles in that pic. Since then I have graduated to 16'ers.
