I don't fish this way so maybe you guys already do it. A video I watched about it said the guy uses 8 poles. Each pole has a unique color of line. This makes it a lot easier to untangle when needing to. I does make sense to me.

Yeah, most "riggers" I know use 6-8 rods, but I don't know of any that use 6-8 different colors of lines. When I'm Pushing, I have been known to use 2-4 different colors of lines ... but that depends on which outfits I'm using at the time.
Yeah that makes perfect sense to use different color line. I have never done it and I push (8) 16' rods. Had some pretty bad messes before primarily with alligator gar. Just usually cut the lines and re-rig, found that to be much faster plus usually not much line lost. Plus, I change line on reels while in the boat when needed; one spool of the same color line to keep up with instead of eight. If I'm pulling cranks on different rods and reels I use a different color line just cause I know it is a heavier # line. Don't believe there is a right or wrong, just what makes a person comfortable and can catch fish.
Yeah if I tangle two rods I quickly cut one the first jig I can get my hands on and the line just pulls right through. Set the other pole in the holder and retye the cut jig. I have a hard enough time keeping up with one spool of line. I definitely can see how it would help.

I’ve got 20+ rigs pre tied and wrapped around a piece of pool noodle in case I have to do as catchngrease but every-time I go out there i go with the mindset of I’m invincible and not going to tangle or break off!
Sometimes the mind plays tricks on me.

I can’t believe y’all get your spider rigs tangled up. [emoji23]

LOL. One of my 1st trips out to teach myself how to spider rig, I had 4 poles out with minnow rigs. Picked up a few nice crappie then hit a school of stripers. Every rod had hi vis on it and one stripe tangled 3 of the 4. Those stripe know what their doing. I heard him laughing.
