Advice on 5 rod spread...
I have been using a set up that I got from a diagram, from Tyler's Tackle. It has produced well for me, but always looking for better ways.. Especially since someone laughed at me for having my wwb line out 300 ft... Come on guys, let's here you best 5 rod spread....

Besides being a LOOOONG way to reel, on busy weekends, I'd be worried about being cut off. People are thinking about 300' back on a crowded day. But if your catching and not losing lures, as the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!! |

Rod 1- 28oz umbrella back 50' Rod 2- 16 oz umbrella back 70' Rod 3- 2 / 4 tandem back 120' Rod 4- 4oz solo chute back 160' Rod 5- 15" 4 arm umbrella with a 4oz chute back 250 ft. Keep steering in a lazy "S" pattern to keep lures in undisturbed water. Right now it seems speed is more critical than lure choice. I was catching fish up to 4 mph on Wed's. If we slowed down, we wouldn't get a bite. Speed does 2 things, it draws a reaction strike and it moves the baits higher in the water. It pays to experiment with the speed. |
Sell me your five rods/reels and become a jigger:eek:
No, seriously, there are numerous ways to troll 5 rods. If you have a board, I'd put 4 on the board (out 4 bars is hot right now) and one deep rod with 20 ozs. back 5 bars. Remember; no spread is right or wrong, if it catches fish.:) 5th |
right now my 5 rods would be:
Solo 3oz parachute out 230' solo 5oz parachute out 200 tandem 6/3 out 180' tandem 7/5 out 150' tandem 9/6 out 100-120 |

I just advocated for those lengths off the boat to keep them away from the boat/motor noise. |
