OK need understanding how to run multiple dipsey rods on one side of the boat. Tried for the first time this weekend and found myself with a huge mess. Whats the best way to run 2 on one side so I dont get tangled?

Thanks

Run the outside rigger on a three. Get it set up and then put the inside rigger out on a 1.5 setting. Repeat on the other side. Make your turns gradual so the lines don't cross...

also stagger the line length run the deeper (the one on the #1 setting) tighter to the boat say 160' back and your #3 setting back 225'

not sure if running them with that much variance is the best idea. We been running 4 divers on a buddies boat by setting out the inside on a 1 1/2 setting and the outside at a 3. By putting the inside/outside no more than 20' apart they will track close to the same. We've been putting the inside out first but after taking a hit on one or the other I don't think it matters you just have to let them out slow.

Run mag walkers on a one setting on the inside and regular dipsies on a 2 1/2 on the outside

The inside dipsy is deepest, so if the outside dispy gets hit first, it can cross over the deeper line as it shifts towards the stern.

I run one diver on a 1 and the other on a 3. If you run them the same distance out, they will be running approx. 10' in depth difference (I run the Walker Deeper Divers). The key to running 2 divers a side without tangling is letting them out SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWW.

+1 - took me a while to get the hang of it.

I've also read that some like to use use a longer pole for the outside dipsy and a shorter for the inside. Haven't tried it yet but it sounds like it would help keep them separate as well.
