Great post, thanks for sharing! The day will come when 4 or more of those rods will go down! Talk about chaos, but a memory you won't forget.

All the Best Fishing to ya! :ThumbsUp

Wow! Nice crappie. I don't worry about line size as much as losing a big fish so I use 10-12# line and never seem to have problems spider rigging. Great looking setup. Thanks for sharing the report and pictures.

Just a bit of advice after years of spiderrigging in tournaments and for fun, you desperately need to move your depth finder to the front, positioned so that you can see it and your rods at the same time. Makes all the difference in the world!

I totally agree. I have some extra transducer cable to work with but not sure how much( stowed away in tunnel where wires are run. If not enough they offer extension cable. Ivan easily rig up a mount for raymarine dragon fly 7
That might fix the crick in my neck

Ok guys question???
I have shimano IX1000 reels. Most of y'all are know them. What size line can I use on them. I keep spools about 3/4 way full to eliminate line flying off spool like super man flying. I plan on using #8 Mr crappie. I use to use suffix line most of the time. My eyes like hi viz
