They will work fine. I use longer poles on the outsides and shorter poles angled up next to the motor to get maximum line separation. I normally use 6 poles when long lining and pulling cranks.Quote:

Creekslick, Moderator of the AR board makes a mid spin jig called a Slick Jig that works great also. I use the Southern Pro Hot Grub tails. They make a huge selection of colors. I'm just learning this style of fishing, but there is a great article on the MCC website about long lining, and it has a chart that tells you approximate weight to line out for depth.

Not knocking anyone who uses 4/6/8 poles, but might start out with 2 and get the hang of LL'g, then put more rods out as you get comfortable with it. The more rods out, the higher the risk of tangles or hang ups.
i have a potential silly question........ive LL for several years now and have always pulled with my rods sticking out of the side of the boat and seperated the lines by using diff length rods......I have 16s, 14s, 12s, & 9s i use.......first started doing this out of necessity as I had to be near my trolling motor to run it......I now have an I-pilot so I dont have to do it out the sides but i still do.........noticed alot of guys run em out the back......is there an advantage to running em out the back? does it make it easier to make turns? Curious mainly.....I do everything else very similar as far as speeds, lures, head weights etc except my rods are out the side of the boat off the fron deck...... so why do alot of you guys pull ot the back?
Once I figure out the amount of line out that it takes to catch fish at a certain depth. I mark my lines with a black magic marker and I can go right back to the correct depth with no trouble.
I can cover more area of water out the back, less tangles, more poles when I'm by myself, and I think I catch more fish out the back.
James....its a lot easier on the turns and less tangles etc.
