Normally I fish alone I run 8-12 rods out back and sides...But on occasion a friend goes with me and I put him fishing out the back and I take the front in part due to the fact I cannot see the tm from the back which makes heading adjustments challenging..

Any way I am thinking about trying either trolling sinkers or those new offshore tadpoles to drastically reduce the amount of line put out from the front rods ( I run 3 out each side up front )

Have any of you tried a similar setup?
