I'm new here and what a great site it is. I'm just curious if there is a reason there isn't a dedicated spider rigging section. With the majority of folks here primarily trolling and running rigs, I'm just surprised with all the other off topics there is no spider fishing section to keep that topic localized and the info easy to find and not have to search out.
Not saying that wouldn't be a good idea but with the excellent "search engine" that we have you can do a simple search or do an advanced search to get specific information about what ever your favorite technique is.

I agree with you on searching, but it just seems with a few diluted forum sections with very few post's, I wonder why there isn't a spider section that seems to be so popular with what I'm guessing is the majority here? I'm mean it is, Crappie.com after all.
I would love to see what everyone had to fill the section with, from their setups, tips and techniques along with so much more that I am unfamiliar with. Not complaining at all, but I'm just surprised its not there as I think it would be a huge asset to the site.
If you PM your request to Slab the owner of crappie.com or to one of the moderators they just might set one up. I do think it would make for a great forum, kind of like the ones that are already on facebook.
Crappie.com is basically one giant spider rigging forum.Quote:

Bet it is a job now for all the moderators to keep up with what is already here not to even think what Slab does. Thank you Crappie.com for a family friendly, great crappie fishing forum where you don't have to worry about your kids or grandkids being on this site. Good job Slab and moderators for keeping it that way.:ThumbsUp
X2!! Well said, thanks for that.Quote:

Now that I have really enjoyed it on a few trips it would be nice just to read and learn from others that have experience in this application only. Its like the main Crappie thread its a catch all and has a lot of general social post's. Maybe a Trolling/Spider rigging section?
Hammerhead, maybe you should go to your state forum and post a thread asking for help. Maybe do that in a couple of areas. Information here on the site is not hard to come by for those that ask. You might even run across someone near you that is willing to fish with you and give you some hands on experience.
I appreciate that ark crappie.Quote:

Or just ask your questions right here. And if you just put the word "spider" in the search bracket ... you'll have "instant" info, rather than having to wait for a whole new forum to be added and people to start posting/replying to it. Even with a whole new forum, you'd still have to read through a lot of threads to gain any particularly "new" info.Quote:
