How many rods do you troll
My typical spread is between 9-13 rods. I have trolled as many as 17 with tridents but prefer a 12 rod spread with 100' of boards. I mostly run 5 off of each board and 3 deep or 4 off each board and 4-5 deep
Just seeing what most are trolling.

we're running a small CC so we only troll 4 rods....if we troll
might try boards but i don't have a tie off point very high off the water to connect the boards.
there are only a few weeks out of the season that we even break out the broomsticks...we prefer to LTJ whenever possible.

13 lines in all. 4 umbrellas off each planer line. 2 deep boat rods with 16 and 24 oz. inlines with big umbrellas. A dummy line, (lots of fun) a downrigger rod off the transom opposite the dummy, and a WWB with a small umbrella.

I thought I posted earlier today, but I can't seem to find it now. Anyways, we troll 13 lines total. Four umbrellas off each planer line, One heavy boat rod off each side, one 16 oz, one 24 oz. A dummy line off the transom, and a downrigger off the other side of the transom, and finally a WWB down the middle with a small umbrella. Mark.

When I"m solo on the Hoopty, I'll run one board pulling a mix of tandems and solos totaling 6 rods then 4 deep off the back and and other side. If I have company I'll pull up to 14. I've installed zero degree rod holders and use temporary bow rail holders up front to handle the extra rods. A word of warning; check your temp or adjustable rod holders often. Several TF posts last year were regarding lost equipment from adjustables slipping or failing.

If I run two board an 11 rod spread: 4 off each board, 2 deep off the transom and one wwfb.
If I run one board a 9 rod spread: 5 off the boat (2 deep, 2 intermediate, 1 wwfb), 4 off the board.

I troll 12 usually, 4 off the boat and 4 off each board. Early fall I just ran boat roads with pretty god success. I could probably squeeze a couple more into the spread, but the 12 is pretty easy and allows for good lanes to get the fish into the boat
