Lead down the chute a good idea?

[BrokeOff]

Our current setup is 2 mag wire divers out on a 2 or 3 setting, 2 riggers (one stacked, one cheated) and 2 inline planers pulling cores on the outside. Is it safe to run another shallow core down the chute? Or is this asking for tangles. Was thinking a 5 or a 7 color pulling some kind of stingray or mag spoon. If we hook into a fish on an outside line we could clear the shorter core faster than a full core. We don't have a ton of rod holders so we are using the rocket launcher to hold the planer rods and this extra core rod would have to be up there as well. This should get it out from the riggers a little better being higher up.

It's a fine approach, just limit it to spoons. If you run an attractor on that shallow core, it will eventually wrap endlessly in one of the others before you get used to running it. Also, it's better to select your method of attack based on where the fish are in the water column. There will be days where that will just be in the way.

thanks for quick reply. I have yet to run spinnys or paddles on my leadcore. That's the thing not sure if that rod will fire this time of year spoon only down around 20'..... I have dive bombs but thinking that may get in the way of the other lines?

if the fishing is good i dont run mine down the shute. if it is so so i run it.

Can be deadly but you will get tangled in it at some point.

I'll run a rod down the chute often. Anytime we get a fish on, the chute rod comes out just so we don't get tangles
