The V pattern with leadcore

[vetting]

I know that everyone mentions the V pattern when setting their lines.  However, since you run longer leadcore closer to the boat, isnt that the opposite?  Should I be put the shorter leadcores out with more backer to make it into a true V pattern?

I do. I run my leadcore off line-counters. I have written on each reel the distance back to the lure. My outside leadcore will be usually two colors less than the inside core and then stretched back slightly longer. The idea is if a fish is following the inside core the trailing fish can also see the higher line 8' above as a second option. This setup results in zero tangles also
