my friend just bought this boat, and he came up with a unique way to spider rig. the bar is welded to the middle of the pedestal, and has 4 holders. i've never seen one like that, and it seems like a good idea. he has them on both front and back seats. what ya'll think?
Whatever works for him, would think he would want em higher.
Wont they move every time he moves the seat? Looks like a sit still and fish only situation.

Wrong, there is absolutely no vertical adjustment to those. I would toss em in the lake for structure.Quote:

i think he has spare holders tilted at different angles............when he used pictured setup, rod tips to water level was just right.
if rod height wasn't an issue for him I guess it could work
If you want to get up and move......your gonna have to step over the rods it looks like. I think I will just stick with my HiTeks
those are driftmaster rodholder/bases, no adjustment other than left or right on that flatbar set up. Round bar extending out would allow vertical adjustment with a different base
Those are driftmasters, and yer right there is no adjustment up and down. I like mine in front of me, watching these would be like watching tennis.
Would the tips of the rods not still be in front of you?????:dono
Driftmaster holders is right. I'm OUT on this setup. Looks awkward to say the least. No height adjustment for different size weights. Reels are positioned below the seat. Hard to grab a quick bite. A striper will kill this setup in a hurry.

All I can envision is me breaking some poles first time I got up with that setup. Looks like a accident waiting to happen. Great concept and if it works for him that's even better.
I don't know either, but it looks like some would be on your left and some on your right.,Quote:

Thats what I think too.....get up to go measure a fish or go to the live well or whatever the rack and the poles are in the way.Quote:

whatever he likes. if it works for him, and he likes it and becomes good at spider rigging with them then he is capable of outfishing all of us with driftmaster crappie stalkers and whatever else all of these guys use and he may end up getting rich from all of us trying to buy them from him lol
