    Default How Many Crankbaits...


    ...do you guys troll at any one time? I'm thinking about getting into it since I'm a diehard longliner and was curious what is a good setup. Currently I pull jigs on rodholders off the back of my boat pulling 12 rods spaced about 2' apart.

    6 by myself, 8-10 with two. Can do 8 myself, but in this heat the dinks keep you to busy. 4' minimum apart to turn.

    I usually use 4 but sometimes just 2. If somebody is fishing with me, we will have 6 out.

    I've been using six the last couple years but plan on trying to get two on the front of the boat. The six I use now are all in the back. Got three to four feet between each pole and don't get tangled very often.
    You should've been here yesterday!!!! :rolleyes:

    I pulled one CB on Sunday with a bit of luck, might try 2 when I can get the stuff needed, but not going to do more than 2 as I fish solo 95% of the time, don't want to work myself too hard out there. I did enjoy pulling a CB, something different to tinker with and if it catches fish, its good by me.
    GO BIG ORANGE !

    I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.

    I use 4. That is enough for me. I do it backwards than most. I have a center mount spider rig in the front that I put 10' poles in one on each side. I than put a 14' out each side in the back. For me it makes for easy turning when the front poles are shallower and shorter lines. The lines are 4-5' apart.
