If you're looking for a spinning reel for Spider Rigging ... I'd suggest Shimano IX1000r (usually sells for ~$15) or if you don't care for the "barrel" style handle grips or the quickfire "trigger" or a rear drag system ... then you might want to take a look at the Okuma Aria 1000 (usually sells for ~$20) which has the front drag, flattened paddle style handle grips, and no quickfire trigger. (* prices are reflective of in store Walmart pricing)
Walmart......zebco spinning reel, was 10.99. All I use.
If you want some flexibility with jigging, spider rigging, and long line trolling, you definitely want a spinning reel or a small bait caster reel because the cheap jig pole reels are really line holders and aren’t great for winding up a bunch of line or even capable of making a short cast.

I just have a question, out of curiosity .... what's the difference between Spider Rigging & "slow trolling pushing minnows" ?? :scratchheadQuote:

When I think of "Pushing" (jigs or cranks) I think of boat speeds of 1-2mph & heavier weights (1-3oz) than the normal speed & sinker weights used for Spider Rigging (not to mention heavier action rods & Line Counter Reels for Pushing).
They’re the same I guess. I assumed spider rigging meant sitting stationary over a brush pile. Forgive my ignorance.
