Jim; I usually only run 6 rods, but my older friend brings his "muskie" rod with him all the time. I made it the ctr rod and put it way behind to get it out of the way. It caught one fish tonight. The deeper rods work best most of the time. If you see birds working, or bait busting, the top rods hold there own.
