when pulling the off shore boards typically i run 2 each side and 1 in each rigger....but you can run 3 each side with no problem
the off shores will easily pull 1 and 2 color cores
lenght back depends on water clarity and what the fish want
split shot works if needed to keep a spoon down
farthest board out is farthest rod forward and so on
usually i only run the inline boards for walleye....pulling stick baits on the mono and worm rigs on the cores
good luck
