What is spider rigging?

Spider rigging is slow-trolling a fan of long rods — commonly six to eight, at 4.3–4.9 m (14–16 ft) — spread from holders across the bow, each presenting jigs or minnows at controlled depths while the boat creeps along at 0.2–0.8 km/h (0.1–0.5 mph). It is the tool for scattered or roaming fish: the rod fan sweeps a wide corridor of water at multiple depths simultaneously, turning a search problem into a coverage problem. It shines on big reservoirs in summer and the staging periods, and check local rules first — rod-count limits vary by state and province (Ontario, for instance, generally allows only one line per angler in open water).
