I started to venture into spider rigging last spring at KY Lake. Only 4 poles mind you. In Illinois, we only get to have 2 lines in the water on the vast majority of bodies of water. I liked watching the rods waiting for the twitch then bend of a bite. I just bought 4 14 footers to go with my 2 12's so I can get after it more next spring. It is a fun way to fish!
