So, I have a long lining question. I’m set up to pull 6 rods from the back of the boat. I have a 2 6ft, 2 8ft, and 2 10ft poles. Question number one is this: my poles get tangled almost every time I reel in, fish or no fish. Right now I’ve got my 6fts closest to the back, my 8fts in the middle, and my 10fts closest to the front of the boat. Should I be angling my poles a different way, or is there something else I’m doing wrong. Here is my current setup.

Question number two: I’ve been catching a lot of fish, but want to try to find fish at all depths, so I run 3 different size baits and jig heads on each side. The question is should I have my heaviest weight in the longest pole or the shortest pole. I’m thinking the shortest, since they are in deeper water. But I’ve been running it the other way, with the one eighth jig head on the long pole, one 16th in the Middle and one 32nd on the inside.

Can anyone steer me in the right direction and help me avoid wasting anymore line? Lol
Thanks
Jesse
