Got me some braided depth hunter
Soon you will be Divorced and Broke. Have fun.
I have 6 pairs of bases for my HiTek holders. Front ones are for spider rigging or longlining off the side, next ones back are for longlining or pulling cranks, same for the next 2 sets depending on how many folks are in the boat, back 2 pairs are for longlining or cranks(one set right behind the seats if I'm by myself), back set for 2nd person in the boat who sits on back deck. I fish by myself a lot and use the remote on my Terrova so I can move around. My set-up allows me to run as many as 10 rods by myself and stay comfortable. I have hooked as many as 6 keepers at one time on cranks and managed to get all of them in the boat.Quote:

If fish off the sides when longlining or pulling cranks and leave the back open to work fish in, when the fish hits raise the rod high and bring the fish up and move it across other lines to the middle which is wide open, do the same as mrdux, fish as many as 10 by myself with very little trouble.
Yes or push them with 2-3-or 4oz weights. Let's you turn sharpQuote:

cheapest rods i can buy for trolling....? where do i guy them? Ive got a couple bass combos i thought about using just until I can get more gear
Pinnacale from grizzly jig. 4 for 60.00 can get 8,10 and 12. I have 8's and 12's. They are limber but work just fine for pulling.
so I should probably get 2 8's and 2 12's? or should I get 8, 10, 12 and stagger them off the side with my 8 footer being closest to the boat?
