It is kind of a day to day thing where experimenting may be necessary. But why not try shorter first? Makes for a much easier land. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I agree completely. You don't need a mile of line behind the dipsey to catch fish. Often we do well with a 2-4 ft leader from dipsey to spin doctor then a fly. This makes the total length 5-7 ft behind the dipsey- which is plenty manageable at the net w a 9-10 ft rod. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I'll give you the rod holders are a little cheap, but they are functional, versatile, and haven't broken in 6+ years fishing. They flex a little more than I like, but they work. This picture was taken on a rough day on a tight turn and that's the max the rods bend. If you look closely they are not over the rigger boom, but 4 feet around the outside of it. We do the best we can on a budget in a small boat to maximize lines and lures in the water. Plus I feel secure that I won't lose any rods with these holders.

Yea we usually don't have problems running 6 rods from our 1802 trophy. Either 4 riggers and 2 dipseys, 3 riggers 2 dipseys one copper, or 3 riggers 3 dipseys. All depending on the bite. Our dipseys rods are 9.5-10.5 footlong and 15 lb cannon balls help. As always, nice gradual turns too! Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Something like this wouldn't work? Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Were you fishing that 400-500 fow range? What color spoons were the ticket, and how were the water temps? Thanks! Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
