Better way!

**SlabLapper4sure** · 10-02-2012, 04:57 AM

I've always been taught that somewhere out there exists a better way of doing things and i'm always looking for it. I have posted a drawing of how I rig my poles for spidering. I'm trying to find out from all you spidering vets on here if there is a better way to do it.

I always want to improve my game and see what works best.Any help or opinion from you guys would be greatly appreciated!

Only listen to the first sentence. Do not listen to me kus im on a high dose of pain meds..
Ok i tie mine 2 differant ways one way is kinda like urs but my top leader is not as long (3") and i dont use a barrel swivel or any kinda beads i jus drop down and put my weight and hook or jig. The distance between my hooks depends on how deep im fishing.
i never fish with more than 1/2 oz weight.
The other way is i dont use any hardware at all.(this i use mostly)
i tie a double overhand loop knot leaving about a 3to5" loop then cut the line close to the loop and tie my hook to that at the length u want(3") drop on down put my weight and then my hook or jig below that.

Keep in mind im on realy good pain meds so this prolly dont make sence at all but i tried.

Ps: i see nothing wrong with ur rig at all..

That looks similar to how I tie mine but where u use a 12 inch drop on top I use 6. My main line then goes down about 18 where I place an egg sinker and then another 6 to my hook. I don't use a barrel swivel and never have a problem with line twist. If u make a rig the lengths of your drawing your going to have some doozy tangles from time to time IMO. You have the correct concept down though. Good luck.

I don't use a leader for the top hooks.

There's been a few really good discussions on this over the last couple years and some have some sketches with them. Concept is right on, that's for sure. I'll use anywhere from 6 inches difference from hook to hook to 30 inches hook to hook. Water depth and if they're holding tight to a certain depth determine that. If I have them zeroed in and a certain depth, I'll tighten up the hook distance. I don't use swivels, loop knot and lately, I've changed my way to tie the top one on. Slide the top hook on and then tie the bottom hook on. Move the top hook up the line where you want in and tie a triple look knot. Once you do that, tie single loop knots starting at the main line about every inch til you get to the hook. It hakes the hook stand out away from the main line when you're moving real slow

I make mine like minner talked about one time. I start out with a four foot piece of line. I'll run the end through a barrel swivel about 10 inches. I tie a clinch knot and I wind up with a tag end ,that you would usually cut off, around 8 inches long. Tie your hook on it. Run the long line through a 1/2 oz egg sinker 3 times, about a foot from the bottom and tie a hook on the bottom.
