At the speed of .8, my jigs will run through the whole column of water that the fish are using, 7-13ft. I run double jigs all the time. Now when I'm fishing from the front of the boat, I use 6 rods. 18, 14, 11 off each side. I will run my heaviest to the inside and lightest on the outside for 2 reasons. 1. The 11ft rod is closer to the boat so deeper will get them further away. 2. When you catch a fish on the outside rod, 18ft, the jigs are running shallower making it harder for the fish to find my other lines. Hope this helps.
