Do any of you guy use regular baitcasting reels on your spider rigs. I have some spinning which I like. I bought some underspin reels I keep hitting trigger when going for rod (which I can't stand). I just bought a whole new set of rods and new depth finder for front of boat. Trying to keep wife happy don't want to spend any nore money. I have some old bass bait casting reels laying around thought about using them.
I have the Wally Marshall Bait Casters on all of my spider rig rods.
They work great.
thanks wiskers keep on with the updatesQuote:

I bet I've lost a half dozen fish in the last two trips because of it.

I use the Zebco 33T series underspin reels either Gold or Platinum on all my jigging poles but on the spider rigs I use all baitcasters. Shimano Citica's on
(8) B & M 16' Bucks Graphite Jig Poles with 10 lb. high vis Vicious line and run the reels in the up position. You'll appreciate the drag system of the baitcaster when a big cat gets on the line.
