driftmaster crowfoot spider rigging system

I got in my award from crappie.com today for winning the story contest. I got it put together and wow is all I can say. I really didn't think the bow of my boat was going to be wide enough, but it fits perfectly. the back of the boat is not deep enough behind the seat hole for it to fit without hanging over the little well in front of the motor ang gouging my fiberglass. I am attaching pics. yall tell me what yall think. hopefully me and little man can test drive it this weekend.

Looks good Mark. Are those seat posts on the base? Starting to think you may need a pontoon boat, a few more rods, and a couple of extra hands if you use ALL your holders! :)

That's made for the front of the boat....you look like a pro crappie fisherman now....I like it.

yes they are scott. I just have not gotten the seats for it yet. now me and boo can sit hip to hip. im pumped up!!

Congrats Doc.......looks good........

Looks excellent Mark, I like that. I know you have enough rods to fill those holders, so it won't be a problem. Is your minner bucket big enough to handle all of that? :)

They look great to me.

Pro's use more than one pole at a time?:dono

If I used that system you'd have to call it spider webbing...except I would not be the spider....I'd be the bug......

Man I'd get confused, maybe you,should color code your poles to keep track.

Thanks for sharing the pictures Mark. Hope you catch lots of fish with it. And congrats again for winning the contest. I'm proud to have Driftmaster on board as a sponsor offering us some real nice prizes. Watch close, I'll have another contest up soon, in the next couple days, offering up another great prize from Driftmaster.

Ed, we're glad too that Mark won and appreciate the sponsors that help make this site so great....but can't pass up on a chance to yank on him a bit for fun! :) lol

Mark glad to see you'll have Brody up front with you. It will put your mind at ease and at the same time he'll be learning from a pro at spider rigging.

Thanks to Crappie Dot Com and their great sponsors for making this a favorite gathering place.

Congrats. That thing looks awesome on your boat.

It looks like the only attachment point is that one pin that goes in the seat base? Is that correct? If so, I wonder how stable it will be and prone to bouncing in wakes and rougher seas?
What a cool concept though if it works. Congrats on your win!

that is correct. the seat base attaches to the Y part in one spot. I am gonna have to modify it a tad from the original equipment so it will be more stable. I think if you have someone sitting in each seat, it will be plenty stable.
