Getting set up to put out up to 16 poles 8 in the front & 8 in the back. Plan on doing some pushing & long lining. Any suggestions on pole lengths!
Here a picture of one.
I pull off the side of my boat and use a 18 a 14 a 10 and a 6 footer off each side.
Does 18 work ok for you. Been thinking about it, but seems kind of long. I use three rods each side 12' 8' and 5'. Keep thinking about going to four poles but keep thinking it's just two much for long lining, especially when you hook a striper or something. Catch enough with three on each side so havnt done it yetQuote:

I was thinking when long lining 4 off each side in the back & 2 straight off the back when pushing 8 in the front & 2 off each side in the back.
You ain't lived until you've fished sixteen poles in a brushy lake on a windy day.
AMEN!!! But I don't own 16 poles, but I have done that with the 8 I used to own, before I had to throw them in the trash due to 3 of them snapping at the same time, on the same brush-top.Quote:

Forgot to say, your holders look very similar to what I have rigged up. Good Job. DP

that is what you call cussin not trolling..wow I couldn't imagine..Quote:
