Spider rigging is an intriguing method of fishing. And, I don't begrudge anyone who uses it where legal. I like to relax while I'm fishing though and I'm afraid it would be too busy for me. Besides, it's illegal in my state. The most rods you can use is two, and you have to pay extra for that. I remember fishing when it was a way for a poor man to put food on the table.

I have a 3 rod holder for spider rigging in my jon boat. I have used it a few times with some success, but sometimes don't get to the rod fast enought and spend the next 15 minutes untangling the lines. I really like to vertical jig with 2 poles so I can feel the thump, something you miss spider rigging...

Good read

I just started using this technique a few weeks ago for crappie here in pennsylvania. We are able to use 3 rods with 3 hooks each. I love it and it is a ton of fun. Wish I could find some videos on youtube that go into some detail on the technique but most are only 6 minutes long and generic information.

Thanks for this article, it was a good read.
