    Default 10' or 12' for spider rigging


    Never spider rigged before in my life. The more I sorted through the search posts the more confused I got. What length rods should I get for the front of the boat. I was thinking of getting the Crappie Wizards but Cracker68 says the HT rods are 25% cheaper and he thinks they are equal if I understood his post correctly.I am getting a couple of Driftmaster 250 rod holders. The spider rigging looks like fun.

    I like 12'. I have some 14' poles they are nice but can be a little bit of a pain sometimes.

    the longer the better, but I dont think 12ft poles will present a problem for you. 14ft take a little bit to get used to, but i like them better

    I personably like at least 12's for the reason alot of time I will push 8 and pull 8 when fish are suspended. 10's will let the lines get into the trolling motor when your speed is around 1.2mph but I'm usualy pulling less than 1mph.
    WACKEM AND STACKEM!
