Good going. Sounds like you've got it figured out. Are your rod holders set up on the front like you'd use for spider rigging? I run 16, 14, 12 and 10 foot poles while pulling and rarely have any tangles, unless a catfish gets on one, but when I'm pulling jigs I move my holders to the sides of the deck. The rods stick out basically 90 degrees from the boat. With 2 people I pull one set on front deck and one on rear deck. First time I went longlining was with Slabprowler and that's how he had his set up, so I copied his method and really like it. I've fished who with 2 people fish one on the front deck and the one on the back deck fishes straight behind the boat. I don't like that setup as well as one fishing off each side.
