a spreader bar is a slidable boom with a swivel link in the middle and a swivel on both ends which allows two short snoods to be fished fairly close togther with the weight in the middle,mostly used for boat fishing.

Sorry, don't think that was what we used. Was actually various rigs.
Fisherman's prayer:
God grant that I may live to fish, For another rainy day.
But when my final cast is made, I then most humbly pray.
When nestled in your landing net, As I lay peacefully asleep.
You'll smile at me and judge, That I'm "good enough to keep"!
