Your right Glen. Check the lines regularly, Sharp hooks. I use blacks, the four or five tight warps and a couple loose ones gives you a long enough tag end to show shakers. They swim away when released
90% of the time there are two people on my boat. I probably wouldn't run 6 rods, buy I would play with a fifth rod when things are slow. I have the copper and the lead core and rarely run them because I don't want to take a diver or a rigger out. If you don't want the to run 3 rods don't! I sure would like to play with my other toys though
