Set the riggers at different depths and the dipseys at different lengths.
Just DON'T make sharp turns. Principle is to set lures in a U shape
vertically with deepest in the center and a U shape horizontally with those
in the center closest to the boat. 100s if not 1000s rigged this way on the
Great Lakes. We are allowed three lures= rods in the water for each fishing
license on board and so if we run 9 rods then we have the manpower plus the
autopilot to do it. Fred

Learn something new everyday.

Makes sense. The max I ever run at one time on the Ranger is four.
Then again, I'm usually inshore in shallow water so the column I'm
fishing in narrows the technique choices. I also cast a lot from the
Ranger, so the trolling thing is more to find the fish.

The Contender is a different story altogether - different technology
for different kinds of fish.

Thanks for the info.
