I'm new here and I'm also new to spider rigging and I didn't want to break the bank on rid holders in case I don't like fishing this way so I built me so holders to try out first tell me what y'all think https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...db9e3f8892.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7e0bb9027e.jpg

I don't see how that wouldn't work for you to see what you think about spider rigged fishing. I hope you will let us know how it does for you. Now go catch a bunch:biggrin

They will work, but they will probably eat up your rod handles. If you start catching some crappie, you will like It! It's addictive!
Snazzy, go try them out and give us a report!!
That will work. Good job.
Looks good as long as it works!
Yep sure beats spending a few hundreds on something u can build
Nice good job get after em

Broharrell may have a point. The hole where the rod handle ends go into looks a bit "tight/small" .... you may want to cut those holes "down" a little farther (below the current holes), making them an elongated oval, rather than a circle. This would allow the rod handle tips to slip out of the "hole" easier, and at the same time as you lift the rod up ... rather than having to lift "forward" on the rods to get the handles to come out of the hole.Quote:

Otherwise, I see nothing wrong with them ... and I have seen pictures of similar DIY rod holders, just like yours.
Yep......that will work
They will work so go catch some fish
I speak from experience. I started out with 5 gallon buckets with slots cut out. (Saw on youtube) Soon as I saw what it was doing to my handles, had to go on and spend that money.
Thanks for the positive feedback and the concerns about the handles. I think I will try to change it up a bit now

Nice job. I've seen some similar homemade racks before. Lots of ways to skin a cat. [emoji4]
If you cut the holes a little bigger, you could trim it with some foam strips that are for sealing windows. If you aren't worried about the looks, I am sure that would save the handles from being boogered up from the pvc.
Those look great and the idea should work.
Looks better than first ones I made! It will work. Good advice they gave you on the handles tho. Good Luck!
Once you get your holes bigger, you might can spray something like flex seal on those edges to help protect your handles. I love ingenuity, great job.
Looks fantastic!!! I will say tho....the first trip u fish like that and smoke em........You wont fish any other way!!!!
Like others said, make the holes bigger. Easy fix to protect handles. Get a roll of electrical tape, wrap 4/5 layers as tight as you can pull it about 3 inches where poles are going to sit in holder to protect foam. Also you could take a file to the sharp edges of the hole and smooth them up.
Ok so I've read everyone's concerns about the pvc messing my handles up. So I got home from work this evening and made some changes. I think these will work a lot better. Made from all thread. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...899b374c82.jpg
