Brand new to spider rigging. Matter of fact got turned on to it early spring this year. Have had good success and am still catching quite a few fish doing it. Not sure it's right, but I'm fishing two poles up front that are 13' and then two 12 fters beside them, on each side off the front of the boat...total of 8 poles. I have every other one rigged with two 1/16 oz. jigs on loopm knots I tip with minnows. The other 4 poles are rigged with two hooks on loop knots. All have a 1/2 to 3/4 sinker on the bottom. Last weekend I caught fish early morning closer towards the banks @ 6' deep. When the sun got hot I trolled out to the creek channel and fished the jigs/hooks around 12' and caught fish. Only problem I've seen about rigging two baits per line is if youre using minnows youre gonna go thru twice as many since when a fish hits it usually shakes off BOTH minnows as youre getting the fish in the boat and in your hand. Eight poles are about all I want to fish as they can keep you quite busy at times.
