[@mikey6071]

always save bed frames, there's your angle iron stock. Good ideas you have bud!

[@jamesstallworth-og8qe]

Awesome presentation!!!

[@hobbytechtv7007]

best homemade ones I've seen. good job

[@tomhill4765]

Used your idea to make my own spider rig, using materials I had on hand. Hoping to use it soon.

[@stevefoulks4245]

Great video boss. Just a heads up Grainger has the aluminum for about 10 bucks for an 8' stick of 1/8" x 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 angle. I used it to frame out my boat for decking. Free in store pickup. Thanks again for the video.

[@ochieransom3699]

This looks fantastic. I will be making my own very soon. Thanks

[@ochieransom3699]

In case you are wondering, I'm on my wife's laptop. My name is Frank and once again, good job with your creation.

[@christopherhobby8391]

How did install star mount?

[@dude999642]

Awesome, dude.

[@cliff0dean]

I realize you posted this video a while back just was wondering what those lights where and maybe where you got them I think it's a good idea and wanted to try it.

[@brianbrown4777]

I got them at Walmart, I've seen the same type at the auto part stores also.

[@cliff0dean]

Do you recall how many watts they were? I want to be able to see the rods but I don't want to Blind the fish or run the battery down to quick. were they called any thing special such as driving lights, fog lights etc...

[@brianbrown4777]

@@cliff0dean I believe they are a fog/driving light I've had them on for 6 hours with out an issue. You shouldn't have an issue with running off fish. Guess it depends how deep you're fishing and clarity of the water

[@MrBiggamehunter325]

Do you happen to have a link for the base plates?

[@jimmycollens4897]

I was wondering when someone came through with their own idea spider rigging equipment too expensive.

[@byakr8401]

Nice setup

[@lho10101]

Thanks for this.

[@dannyrock5919]

Nice set up. I'm have a problem figuring out how to notch out the conduit. Would you explain how you did it?

[@FishingHype-catch-the-hype]

Danny Rock I used a pair of tin snips and just marked the legs on the bases notch them out and you're good to go.

[@danielwaugh3680]

Where did you get the star base fixture's?

[@FishingHype-catch-the-hype]

Daniel Waugh I got mine at the tackle shop that I managed. You can get the at Bass Pro Shop or most box stores like that. Your local shop may be even to order them.

[@ryansaunders3547]

what was the all thread size you used? in the first part you said 3/8 and in the end you said 1/2 was just wanting to know for sure

[@Epiphalactic]

Either would work. Whatever fits.

[@linh811]

very clever

[@chucksmith5002]

Spot weld your bolt then you can tightening wing nut without holding the bolt .

[@davidzimmerman6439]

where did you get the base plates?

[@FishingHype-catch-the-hype]

David Zimmerman most tackle stores have them or you can order them from BPS.

[@roykeene1470]

how did they work. did you do a video with them in action?

[@TurboRanger351]

nice job.

[@JimmyOFT4Life]

Curious, How do you keep the 18" plate from spinning on you while trolling?

[@FishingHype-catch-the-hype]

James Casler there is a washer and wing nut holding down. you just tighten that down when you have the angle you want.

[@JimmyOFT4Life]

Thank You for the response. will Definitely be making three of these.

[@eisseelena2378]

100 lb amberjack is a joke.

[@jamesaritchie1]

I'm not a fan at all of spider rigs. n my state, you can only use a maximum of three rods, and I don't even do that. I don't see spider rigs as the least bit sporting. If your goal is only to catch a lot of fish, fine, but if your goal is to be sporting, and, I think, to have a lot more fun, then one rod should be all you need.

[@FishingHype-catch-the-hype]

James Ritchie everyone has their preference , pontoons here on Okeechobee will have 20+ rods around the boat. They are there to catch supper not sport fish.

[@628coxmail]

@@FishingHype-catch-the-hype amen brother

[@christopherhobby8391]

Believe me brother I was the same way but you get tired of goin’ and the fish are way to spread out and you want to bring Specks home to eat. Spider riggin’/trollin’ seems to be the best to do when they are spread out and you get tired of not bringin’ them home to eat for supper. So it comes in handy to spider rig. It’s better usin’ that method than not catchin’ fish when you go out. But I will say I hate when they do spider riggin’ on fishin’ shows though lol 😂.
