I see you all got all these fancy rod holders that stand up and hold 2-8 rods. Where do you all buy these at? I cant seem to find any like some I see on the boats here. The long ones in the back of the boat that hold 6 or 8 rods, I have never seen anywhere that sells these. Thanks for some help.
Check the personal classified ads section a lot of holders sold there.--shu
google rod holders
1000s out there on net.. academy sports has some t bar type.. make your own style
Got mine from EZT Pole Perch. Love them. Turn them like in the picture to push and turn sideways for pulling/long lining.

I use the new spiderloks, not sure they are the best but they are the best I have used. Quality built, easy peasy adjustments and Gene (EZ Poleholder) is a great guy. He can make you anything you want too. Check him out in the members classifieds.
best on the market IMHO ar cumberland 360s 360 Rod Holders by Cumberland Crappie
Made my with help from Lowes and MONKS CRAPPIE.COM.

spider locks is my next set,
The Crappie Shop between Macon and Gray has rod holders. Steve will give you advice or install them for you. There are many different kinds, it is just which ones do you like and how much do you want to spend. Good luck.
I think the best for the money is HI-Tec
Mine also came from Monkscrappie .com
I agree and also use HiTek and EZT Pole Perch rod holders. Quality and good price makes it a easy decision. Have had them both for long time and no problems or dislikes of either. Both Crappie.com members too.
Mine came from The Crappie Hole. Mark Danque installs or you can do it yourself.

Great:thumbup:
We all muss find this Spider Shack as it is the real deal of rod holders.
I just was able to get on the computer this weekend, so I just saw your question. It looks like jighooker answered it for you. Steve (The Crappie Shop) is back in a house in a sub-division or he used to be and that is where he has his shop. WesQuote:

How fast, how far out do you throw the jig behind the boat, how heavy jig, what kind?? If any of you all would be nice enough to share some tips that might work on clarks hill,I would greatly appreciate it. I have never had any luck at all with this. THanks in advance>
Depends on the time of the year as to where you troll...I was having goo luck trolling along river channel ledges in 15-20 fow, but with the onset of colder weather its time to start pushing. Come late winter (end of Jan. to mid Feb. 50-55* water temp) start trolling creek channels leading off river channels as the crappie will start migrating toward spawning areas moving shallower as the water warms. As Spring progesses and the water temp moves to the magical 65* mark the fish will start being on flats on wood or whatever type of cover is available in the lake being shallow a 2ft and even less in some cases.Quote:

Same thing with jig colors, change out clors to you find out what the crappie are hitting...good colors to start out with is Acid Rain, Blu/Black/char, Popsicle, Firetiger, Pearl/char, John Deer, Bubble gum, and Orange/char...these colors work on most lake in the Ga/AL area. Also I carry pre-spooled 4lb hi-vis line in case I need a lighter line to get deeper, east to change a spool than to try and re-line in the boat.
I hope this quick outline helps you, there is alot more guys on here with more knowledge than me on catching crappie maybe they will chime in with thier personal techniques. Any specific questons ask away and I will be glad to help you out if I can.
Thanks Dutch. In the spring, starting feb 14th or so, all I do is through a jig and cork, my favorite way of fishing. Wouldn't trade that for trolling, but this time of year, all my fish are caught tite lining over brush and I think it would be nice to be able to troll and find some fish that weren't holding right on top of my brush. I truly appreciate your info and thanks again. Gonna try some of that again soon. One question though, where our creeks run into the river on clarks hill, the water is usually 50 to 80 ft deep??? Isn't that way to deep to be trolling in?
No, you are looking for shad balls and the fish feeding on them...fish near the bottom usually are not feeding. if you are marking bait and fish up shallow troll though area. Crappie feed up, so if you are 2-3 ft over thier heads they will still hit. Fish deep water with 1/8 or 1/4 oz jigheads trolled fast...1.1 or faster depending on what the fish will hitQuote:

Thanks quick. Going to try to figure it out Thursday. Hey brushpilebrad, we need to hook up this spring at the Hill......I'll show you a method I call spida-rollin. It's the best of long lining and spider riggin combined.
Spider Im all in for that, and if you haven't ever fished the cork and jig on the hill in the spring, I can show you the time of your life. That is by far the funnest way to catch big slabs here. Keep me in mind around February.
Brushpilebrad, Done that for many seasons on the Hill. Your right, it's a good way to catch slabs. I used to longline with corks with jigs under them at the Hill. Caught many of slabs that way also. Can't wait till spring.:biggrin
