Never thought the day would come that....

Attachment 55736Attachment 55737 ..... I rigged my New Nitro to Spidder rig, But here it is. After talking with Harrold I came up with a Idea on how to do it with out drilling holes in the fiber glass. First attempt was to flimsy. Harrold suggested using 1/2" aluminim. Came out great with his help. It is a shame the first time we used it it only produced 2 fish, but better times coming. Will be nice to have another trick in my arsenal.
Would love to here how you all rig your poles and some tips on speed , with or against the wind ect.
Thanks in advance

Looks like that will work well. Did you fab that yourself?

I want it. How much?

Cost about $150 to put rod holder together and the same for double seat. You would have to measure your boat and have it built custom. mine won't fit on Harolds and his seat fits but needed to be adjusted for my boat.

nice lookin seat. Just gave me a idea on making one. Im gonna have the guys at work weld me one up this week if i can find the material. Im not gonna have the extension for the rod holders though, just want the double seat base. cool lookin setup man. Shane, if i can get one made and it turns out alright i will show it to ya and if you want one i can do my best to get another one made

just curious, but what holes needed to be drilled ad tapped? looks like all ya need is 2 holes for your pedestal seats to mount into. were the taped holes for your rod holders or something?

Vince, you are the man. That setup looks like you are ready for the big time, hit the tournament trail.

Man thats some nice stuff. THAT will work :)

Use aluminum. lighter. last longer. 3" square tubing and 2 hoes for seats and 1 for the pin in center to hold it all down. What needed to be taped was where the rod holders went. We doubled up the aluminum and tapped it 7/8" deep for the threaded post harold used. Then he used a tube around it and placed a 1" by 27" long piece of steel on top to hold the rod holders. If you look close at the base where the rod holders are you will see what I'm talking about. Good luck.
Now all I need to learn is how too use it right.

How about sponsoring us? LOL

Thanks. I already priced some aluminum online. Im gonna order 2" square for mine. I have aready been thinkin of a way to do it and had an idea similar to the one yall have just with a slight diff. Im gonna go with the way you guys did yours though, i like it better and is a little more simple than the way i was gonna do it.

Slick looking outfit, looks like it can be taken out very easily if need be. Beware spider rigging is very addictive. :D

You better use 2X3 tubing for post becaust the pins on the seat post are 3'' long, I built mine about a year ago with 2X3 and it works great.

yeah that makes sense. I hadnt thought about that.

I cant really see your holders that close but they kinda look like they are the kinda holders made from cutting pvc pipe in half. Is that right? just wondering

Looks like a great set up. When you are putting the trolling motor in and out of the water do you have to take anything down so it wont interfere?

nice set up

Trolling motor does not interfear with rod holders, although, do have to move long poles
out of way, which would do anyway to move with big motor.

By setting up various plates on boat, a person can move easy from day fishing to
night set....

During tournament time - can run 8 out front or 8 out rear and/or split accordingly
any comb as long as no more than 8..

Night time move hold holders to side plates and fish 20 rods off left side with lighting
will send pictures as soon as Adjust555 shows me how on this software.

Yeah i have eight of em but havnt made T-bars to attach em to yet

Attachment 56302Attachment 56303Attachment 56304Attachment 56305 Here are a few close ups. 1 is the base. ! is the double end so it can be tapped for a 1/2" threaded rod . One is the top of the rod. and the last one is the pvc rod holders.
Sorry it took so long to get them on.

have seen these before - base unit, uprights & t-bar holding 4 rods..........each
look good on your boat Vince.

Your rear units will be ready monday

thanks Harrold
