Anyone out there spider rig for crappie? I'm thinking about rigging my boat for spider rigging and would like to see some setups for ideas.
Thanks!

JMichael said:Like you, I'm just starting on my setup, so I wouldn't mind seeing some pics also. I decided to start with a 4 pole setup for now and add more later if I think I'm coordinated enough to handle them. My driftmaster 250 came in the other day but I dont have it installed on my boat yet. I haven't decided what length poles I'm going to use yet either.
You know now that you say they are in the bream family I am sure they are the same fish.....heck I have no idea what all the freshwater species are.....one time I used a bluegill for bait and caught the biggest bass to date 7lbs. My uncle was mad at me since it was the only bluegill we caught that day...he wanted to eat him......... :lol:JMichael said:Shellcracker around here is just another variety of the bream/panfish group, like bluegill, red ear, etc. I think they are all in the same family with only slight differences in their markings and size. The adult shellcracker seems to get slightly larger in size on avg to the others, but to me they all taste the same.
Well that makes us even then because I'm totally lost when you guys start talking about sheephead, reds, etc and have no clue what they look like or whether they're good to eat. :lol: A lot of guys around here will use bluegill for live bait when they're after catfish.bigwave said:You know now that you say they are in the bream family I am sure they are the same fish.....heck I have no idea what all the freshwater species are.....one time I used a bluegill for bait and caught the biggest bass to date 7lbs.

My salt water fishing experience consist a group charter thing out of Miami with 30 people drifting over a reef. I caught a 12 lb bonita and I thought my arms were going to fall off after I landed that thing. Couldn't believe how much fight that fish had.bigwave said:Well lets just say I live vicariously through you freshwater guys......some of the things yall come up with really blows my mind. The next time I go marlin fishing I will show you our version of a spider rig......only difference is our line is 80lb test and our leaders are 540lb........here are a few pics of our setup.
