Just got in four, three rod holder spyderloks. I would like to be able to long line for crappie and possibly do some spider rigging. How should I position my mounts on my boat? Thanks.

Post a picture of your deck taken from the middle of the boat.
With out seeing your boat I am inclined to say 2 up front for spider rig and two in back for long lining.

Get you a piece of plywood about 12 in square, mount holder, then sit in seat and move it around untill you find the most comfortable spot. Take into consideration that your trolling motor will have to be launched and retrieved around one set. Works best if you have some help to hold in place. One you get it set up put a rod in holder to make sure it's not to close Orr to far away. Same on the rear of boat.
That's a great idea!Quote:

Not at all....didn't know how to rotate. Thanks!
Yup that Cray he is a old salty dog he was been there done that before that was a phrase.
This is what I did when I wanted to add another rod holder. Intead of drilling holes before I knew where I wanted them, I mounted them on a peice of plywood. After using them for a while I got some carpet close to the color in my boat. The hole is for my pedistal and the cut out places are for my compartment lids. When spider riggin season (for me) is past I can remove it.Attachment 230538
I like my holders on the front deck about 6-8 inches in front of my knees so I dont have to bend and lean way over to grab a pole
Great idea on the "temporary" setup.
