Spider Rigging?

[Handicrappie]

I have heard very good things about the Southern Crappie Rods but have yet to use them. I have owned PSTs, Capps and Colemans and now Ozarks. All rods are good options but I prefer Ozarks because they have a light tip but still have plenty of backbone. The PSTs are a little to stiff and the C an Cs to limber for my taste.

I know this is a stupid question, but what exactly is Long Lining. Up here in Illinois people mostly, almost only jig fish or bobber/minnow. I got to do some spider rigging on a trip to Mississippi last year and I know about pulling cranks. But I don't know what long lining is.....?????

Long Lining is basically "trolling", generally with jigs, where your lines are running well back of the boat.

Ive been adding up the cost of setting up Spider rigging on my newer boat, and its adding up to around $500 and thats starting with 4- 14ft poles and -$25 spinning reels, the poles that seemed to be priced right and have a flourecent orange tips (for guys who refuse to wear glasses) are Hi-Tec's Panfish rods sold by Gizzley jig company, they have good prices on most everything although they dont care Cumberland crappie's 360 T bars which I am leaning toward.

If you run a mixture of plain jigs, jigs tipped with minnows and various depths, until you "find" the fish. You will know where in the water column the fish are and what they are "feeding" on

Good info from the South Carolina board...

CC 360's, BGJP 14 footers from Grizzly (get 4 with 9.5% off) and go to thefinddotcom. type in spinning reels and check lowest price. See if this brings your cost down? From what I've read on here this is the route I'm going to get started. Good luck on the water.

Couple of places to look for good cheap reels. For spider rigging I recommend bait casters, Longlining might want spinning reels. They are cheap enough on theses sites to have a set of each.
