The baitcasters are fine when fishing say 10 ft or deeper but this spring we were catching our fish in 4 ft of water and I wish we had spinning reels so I could let some line out easier. I'll eventually get a set of 14's with spinning reels but for now I don't get to spider rig enough to need to get a second set of rods.
:scratchhead .... how do you figure it would be easier to let out line on a spinning reel vs a baitcast reel ??Quote:

Do a search on spider rig set ups, we all have beat this topic like a rented mule, but there is one thing I might add that may help You, as far as size of poles, I would buy what fits on the deck of your boat, this will save you from buying fancy rod holders. It seems 14 ft poles are the norm and my 14ft Southern Crappies lay perfectly on my pt175 Bass Tracker.
