I went to the turkey/tackle expo at Uncle Lee's in Greenville this past Saturday. They had some great deals on stuff. Lots of reps from different factories. I bought some of those Lindy spider rigs. They look good. Anybody else use these?

No idea what you are referring to. I think the term "spider rig" has everything to do with multiple poles, not what bait or rigging is used beneath the poles. Are the Lindy items pole or rod holders?
mrdux ... actually, Lindy's rig IS called a "Spider Rig" ... though it should probably be called a Spider Rig rig :p SR102 Spider Rig 3/8 oz. :: Crappie lures and floats :: Lindy :: Lindy Legendary Fishing Tackle And, as you can see, it's a pre-tied minnow rig system for use when Spider Rigging.Quote:

I'm just sayin .... ;)

Haven't used premade, but it looks to be basically a Capps/Coleman rig. It's proven to be effective.
That rig was around a long time before either Capps or Coleman even started fishing. ;)
If I am fishing where there is a lot of brush on the bottom, I prefer one of the rigs that has the egg sinker at the very bottom of the rig.

They used to be called Kentucky Lake rigs before Capps & Coleman come along. They've been around for a long time. Just somebody reinventing the wheel.
Did a search and found this.

I thought Kentucky rig was bell sinker below two hooks, where as the Lindy or C/C or whatever you want to call it has the egg between the two hooks. Doesn't really matter, guess I just misunderstood.
You could buy the Ky rig both ways. Sinker in middle or sinker on bottom. They came on a cardboard tube and there was three in a bundle. The ones we got when I was a kid had egg sinkers on 'em.
