Alright guys, I'm looking for some spider rigging tips. I have 8 rods and have ordered the Driftmaster crowfoot pedestal mount with t-bars. I have never spider rigged, but have done a very limited amount of long-lining. I do know that I will try jigs, minnows, and combinations thereof. I have installed new 6lb. line on all my reels, some of you may like 4 lb, but I don't have that much confidence yet. My #1 question is, do you use a heavy jig head, or do you use 1/16 or 1/8 and then put a split shot above the jig to help keep the bait down in the strike zone? I know that you move very slow, but with a real light weight, I presume the bait will not stay at the preferred depth without a little extra help. I imagine that using double jig rigs will help also.

Thanks for any feedback.
