Caps and Coleman wear them out spider rigging cover. I watched them on TV recently. They pushed baits up to the outside of the piles and the rods started bending. It was cool but still not my thing as others here suggested also.

Spider rigging may not be the most enjoyable way to crappie fish. Its a lot of investment and work, but if you're going to be competitive in the crappie fishing tournament world, it's a requirement to be proficient at the practice.

After reading here and on other input boards/websites across the U.S. I believe I'm going to Gradually get into it like I see that others have. I'm not into a "JOB" any more of fishing. 8 poles is a multi-tasking job that loses the F-U-N for me in the sport. I'm out to improve but not be a professional. Just like the kicked back easy nature of it rather than the 'wonder if I covered all my bases part?'

Each to their own but the older I get i have become more of a minimalist. My type A personality doesn't have a medium until I put the whole effort in perspective. I'm tired of working to hard in the boat. Fewer rods, careful bait choice and tackle savvy and knowing my electronics is more important for me anyway than having that much prep and downtime lost to just keep retying. clap

Totally agree. What happened to the fun and relaxation of fishing. It's become as high strung as everyday lake and I find myself falling victim to it.

The only guided crappie trip I've ever been on, the guide made us spider rig with corks the whole time while he tight lined. I kept trying to hint that I really did know how to feel a bite, but he wouldn't budge. Talk about a boring day.
