When I spider riggede my speed was generally under 1.0 mph, more like .5 mph or less. I just "bumped along" cutting the tm on when the boat stopped after using the tm. I usually fished with 1/2 to /34 oz weights and used minners. When I pushed I ran around .8 to 1.0 mph and was actually longline trolling but from the front of the boat. My lines were under and/or back behind the boat at that speed even though the poles were heavy with 1 oz+ sinkers.
