So Greg; you must be running a short 6 and 3 oz tandem off the center of the umbrella? Then on the other umbrella you are running bucktails off opposing arms of the umbrella?

Right?

Do you always run your biggest weight off the shortest umbrella (55 ft)?

Does the 75 ft umbrella get hit more often? 55 feet seems really short, does it act like an attractant for the fish but then they hit the 75 ft umbrella.

yup. the tandem comes off the center of the white umbrella.. 2ozers are on opposing arms of the umbrella.

The white umbrella has been very hot since i put it together last fall. It was even the rig that Pauls son reeled in his 38lber on and it took the first two fish trolling this spring.

length-wise I sometimes even run them the same length depending upon where the themacline shows on my finder. If it seems shallow I will put both out 5 bars on a 330gti. If it seems a little deeper, I will put out to 7bars or so. My speed also varies. As the water warms up I will troll up to 4-4.5mph so the deep rods will get put out a hair longer. By putting out the same length with different weight, I have them at a varied depth.

Thanks Greg; I only know of one other guy who fishes a tandem off his Lg Umb. (Alan). I have only done the opposing arm twin baits.
Thanks, Marty

Anybody else have a good boat rod umbrella setup?

Just wear a pair of white boots - then you can run as many as you want.

I'll second Greg's setup. Deep rods are running around thermocline to pick off big momma.

Come on Paul; does Greg ever catch anything off those umbrellas. I've never trolled with him yet, so he could tell me anything.
