New to spider rigging

[rducks123]

I am new to spider rigging and want to get some feedback on what type/brand of rods to get. I dont want to spend a lot of money at first until I make sure I am going to continue with it. Any help is appreciated.

Pinnicale rods from Grizzly jig think you can get 4- for 50

Thanks Big H. What length 12 or 14 or what?

[rducks123]

What about the Hi Tech rods? I heard they were a nice rod for the money.

new to spider rigging myself thinking about buying them pinnicale rods also

[feeshrman]

Everyone has an opinion about this, mine is to always buy the best equipment you can easily afford. That being said it is hard to beat the B&M pro staff trolling poles, very good quality, a popular brand that everyone is accustomed, and will have a good resale value if you decide you do not care for spider rigging.

I understand exactly what you are saying Feesh but they are fairly pricey for a newbie.

Them pinnacle rods are some good starter rods and 4 12ft rods that work for 60 bucks ain't bad. If you really like Spider riggin then you will know better what you want in a pole and still have what I call loner poles for when you take someone else. I fish PST's but have a set of the pinnacles in the boat also and when they bitting real light I'd rather fish them. I also would look at those HT green lable jig poles in graphite/glass for around 18.00 for 3 at grizzly jig. They look like they might be a pretty good starter pole.

Go with the pinnacles,for a hundred bucks you can be fishing.Besides very few rods are made in America anyway.
