Well she might not be pretty but since I’m just starting out spider rigging and on a budget, figured I’d build my own. $40 invested and she’s ready to roll! Attachment 291596Attachment 291597Attachment 291598Attachment 291599

Good job. It will work.
I have not used a spider rig on my boat in years . But you can make your own with 4'' heavy PVC pipe
Yessir I had thought about the pvc pipe but decided to go with this set up. 1/2” threaded rod, a 1”x1” square aluminum tubing, cheap $4 rod holders from academy, and a 1/2in threaded star base. A few nuts and lock washers.Quote:

For those who are a little handy with a hole saw and a table saw you can build your own with heavy 4'' pvc pipe. They are inexpensive to make. I made these several years ago and kept them in the shop attic after I quit trolling. Most know here I strictly jig fish these days. They won't rust or rot and fully adjustable. You need a bolt and wing nut to make them easy to adjust.
Forgive the dust as they have been stored a long time. Thought it might help some on a budget build their own holders.]
Definitely a good idea NIMROD!

Those are really good, it’s great to see people still being creative and using their heads. Even if you can afford fancy rod holders why would you if have the ability to make them yourself?

Looks good and will get the job done....
Thanks. Yea I just kinda took 4 different peoples ideas and took what I liked and didn’t like. I am going to take a piece of conduit and run down over the threaded rod and cut out notches to fit snug over the star base. Then add some type of foam inside the conduit to help with vibration. It’s alread solid and not going anywhere, but would just help give it that extra backbone.Quote:

These all look great.
I love me some diy projects. I built the transport rod racks, rod holders, and the depth finder mount on my small boat.

Those holders look great!It adds great satisfaction to know you made those yourself especially when you catch that first slab crappie.If there can be any improvements after you snag that first big catfish or gar on those as to the durability:yikes.Congrats on a job well done!

Well they held up decent on the first trip out with them. Battled the wind and muddy high water all day. Only managed to catch a couple. Going to try a different place in the morning
