PSCR trolling spread

Because I can only have 6 rods out, I'm thinking I need to add more attraction to my spread. I don't normally run umbrella's, 6 packs, or daisy chains in the spring.
Now, with only three rods off each board, I can run any combination of the above.
I'm thinking, maybe a light daisy chain as rod #1 (farthest out), a six pack as rod #2, and a small umbrella as rod #3 on the starboard side.
On the port side, I can run the same hardware but with heavier lures to track deeper.
Give me your opinion on the spread. Would you run all umbrellas since the boards can handle them? I haven't had much success with 6 packs, have you?
By the time I figure out what's working and what's not, it will be the start of the season and I'll be back to my original spread.
I'll post what I have the most success with. 5th (Marty)

Mark; I have already looked back through a ton of photo's from the past couple of years. I picked one showing a friend of mine (who was just learning to fish) who has the most bloody rock you have ever seen. He's not used to holding fish, so he has a death grip on it through the gills. Additionally, he was scared he was going to get myco so he's wearing those big white DRY gardening gloves that surely remove a lot of the protective fish slime.
Of course the fish went in the box because it was caught during the C/K season, but I'll post it on Tidalfish as if it was caught during the PSCR.
It will drive them nuts.

p.s. The MCBA will probably use the pic to ask for a reduction of only three rods for next PSCR.

Take the day and the whole spread out. Rotate the rods so only 6 are out at any one time. Take notes and you'll find what's hot soon enough.

As far as the "PHOTOS" photo shop eggs dripping out
