Thread: Need some advice

When I spider rig in the Summer this is what I have been using although the top dropper can get tangled, I am playing around with useing heavier line then 4 and 6# mono to tie them with. I have one ounce and 1/2oz rigs pre tied around 12- 16" pieces of pool noodles, most are tied with #2 aberdeen hooks and others with small snaps for lures, I keep them in a 5 gallon bucket but forgot it yesterday and and to do some quick tieing. I had a hard time finding them yesterday, went to deeper water 20-25ft but still fished 12-14ft down, found some structure and irregularities in the bottom, and slayed them, just kept trolling back over that spot till I was out of minnows, it seems to me in Summer long lining or spider rigging is the best way to find them, especially if You are fishing a lake with little structure in it, or if you dont have decent electronics to find shad and bait balls.

In case this link dosent work I use a Capps and Coleman dbl minnow rig, uses a 3 way swivel, eggs weight and hooks, 18" long a 6 and a 12" dropper

Here this is better

Onero22, welcome from Louisiana. I looked at your post because it said need some advice. Obviously I can't help you with the lake you fished, but aren't the C,c guys awesome. Great advice guys. You can learn so much on this sight.

Just wanted to tell everyone that has posted on my thread here, THANK YOU, for all the tips and advice. I figured that when i started this I would get a couple of responses at best, but it turns out that you fellows are pretty chatty folks, which is awesome. I have learned more in the last couple of days with you guys than I have in the last year on my own. So I am headed to Bass Pro friday for some new tackle and will be hitting CC bright and early saturday morning. I willl surely update you guys, good or bad. Thanks.

If You are going to Bps for the Capps and Coleman rig, they do not sell the 3 way barrel swivel. I order my stuff from Grizzly Jig co. in Mo., they are much more reasonable on most tackle.

Thanks Tom but I am going to try the troll tech by mr crappie

Your local Walmart should have the caps and Coleman rigs by BnM ........ Worth a look , I like em pretty well

I hope I am not pushing myself here with too many questions but my electronics does not tell me my speed. Am I SOL?
