Which Length 14 or 16 spider rigging? And Why do you prefer one over the other?

Getting the Boat ready for spider rigging, 21ft Triton. Trying to decide on my rod length choice and thought I would ask the pro's.... :biggrin

I have 8'-16'
Some have all the same length
But I slam them as close to the boat as I do at 16'

both have there place , but i prefer the 14ft most of the time !! i like the action and they are a little easier to use especially by your self !!!!!!!

I use the 14' Ozark poles. I chose these because they are more family friendly. I don't think my wife could pull a 16' out of the water.

I started out with 14s and have never felt the need to change.

where Do you buy the Ozark Rods??? I found Monk's site but he doesn't sell Ozark. I do like how he has prices for 1,2,4 and 6 rods though and those are B&M Pro series.

PM Conway here on the Arkansas Board, he will fix you up.

meatgetter, Bill at bigrivermarine and Conway all sale ozark poles. Bill said he had just got a new shipment.

Got a few sets left from my last order. Had 75.

I use 12ft Ozark trolling poles. For my small boat, it's all I need. I don't loose much rod length cause my rid holder ismounted right off the front of my boat.
