    I prefer to pull from the back like Scott does. You can make tighter turns and not have to worry about your lines crossing under the boat and tangleing up and getting hung up on your motor etc. Four foot of separation helps also.

    This, only difference is I run as many as ten and only 2 foot of seperation. As far as turns, I turn hard 45 degrees and straight up, once the lines get back where they should be I turn hard 45 again.

    I only pull cranks if I've got a partner. We've got a three pole per person limit in my state. When I've got someone riding with me, I pull 2-7' and 2-12' rods off the back. I sit up front with a 10' rod off of each side while navigating. I'll run the two rods up front a little shallower or add weight in order to keep even less line out to avoid chances of a mess. For some of the lakes/areas I like to pull, you can hit both sides of the creek channel in one pass with a 20-30' spread.

    Normally pull 8 off the back (2-16's, 2-14's, 2-10's, and 2-6's) and sometimes I will run 2-16's of the front as well. Boat is still operated from the back as my boat is laid out well to fish like this. The two up front are just bonus rods for us as we forget to look a them most of the time.
