One of the advantages to fishing the Spider Umbrella Rig, is how easy it is to fish
productively. Start with either a wire line, monofilament, or braided line set-up on a
boat rod (minimum rating of 15-30lbs) and attach an average length of heavy leader
material. Then attach a snap swivel that is rated for 30 to 80 lbs of pressure. Lastly,
attach the Spider Umbrella rig and put it in the water and you are ready to catch.
A slow to average troll speed (2-4knots) will produce the best results. Just drop the
umbrella rig back and wait for the bite! Spider Umbrella Rigs will produce anywhere,
especially when trolled over structure or around rips and shoals. The tangle free
design will have your lines in the water instead of on the deck of the boat.
Key Tips:
• 100-300 ft. of 50 lb Wire, Mono, or Braid depending on depth
• Trolling speed of 2.0 to 3.5 knots
• 10 ft Leader of 50-100 lb Mono
• Options for stinger bait include swimming plug, spoon, or diving lure
• Wire Line and slower speeds will increase running depth
Always bring replacement packs, especially hook and stinger
baits as this rig will get hit!
