[QUOTE="hammer33, post: 5795965, member: 19900"] Creek, Rsimms gave good advice. Starting out I would use a saltwater trolling spread. (until you get additional rod holders/spider rigs etc) Your 2 longest rods in the midship or outside rod holders and put those baits the farthest back. (out 90' is best if you can) Then (if your rod holders allow) 1-2 shorter rods set out closer to the boat. We usually set them back an equal distance. When you turn the boat, the inside lines get "longer" cutting a shorter arc than the outside rods so they don't tangle. When you end the turn, the lines will straighten and go back to the trolling pattern. ** I have not tried this with crappie jigs, only saltwater stuff. Usually 2 topwater baits far back, 2 just under the surface closer in, and one deep rod dead center close behind the boat. It SHOULD work with crankbaits too .....I think? [/QUOTE]
