You need to do like I do then and pull crankbaits in the summer. Get you 6 poles, I use a 14 ft. and a 10 ft. on each side and two 8 footers straight out the back.....that gives me 4 ft. of seperation between them. Get some Okuma line counter reels and then get a Bandit depth chart so you will know how to set your depth. Pulling crankbaits is a great way to catch them during the hot summertime.

Off the side jvg, gonna set this boat up to pull my cranks and jigs off the same holders. At least that's where I am at this time.

Thats what I do too John........I pull two poles on each side at the back and two straight out the back using my HiTeks. That way I just turn my two seats up front around facing the rear and that way I can use my sportsbrella when needed and it won't be in the way while landing fish. Its a good way to fish. http://www.crappie.com/crappie/attac...e-cooling-.jpgThis picture is on ScottV's boat but I have mine set up the same way.

If you wanna know how to pull cranks. here's the vid that taught me how to set things up. Kent does a great job. Sardis Crank Bait Fishing | MyOutdoorTV.com

Thats the way I want to do it, like that shade stuff. Got a pic of the back?

Probably somewhere....Just got two sets of HiTeks in the back like on the front.....I just removed one holder from each set on the back. I angled the "T" bars accross the back corners of the deck and turned two holders to the sides on each one and pointed the third holder towards the back. On the ones straight towards the back I angled them up just a little. I will look for a pic....if the sun was out I would go take a pic.

You can see one of the HiTeks on the back in this pic.http://img.tapatalk.com/2087a856-c875-851d.jpg
