I can make you a nice deal on a 26 rod spread. Just drop by the new shop!

Heh,

Four of my reels are tiny Penn 9M's that I bought from you. I didn't say I trolled 22 rods in style, just that I trolled them. . .

On my boat I usually fish 16 (sometimes up to 21) in the spring with boards and 11 without boards. The better the fishing is, the less rods I run.

[Rivercat09]

I've typically run five with 2 dummies in the spring and three in the summer with no planers. This spring with the added boards it will be more like 11 to 13, less until I get used to the boards.

Pheeww! I thought a three rod spread all hooked up with blues was a mess! But when I did it, I was solo and have no auto pilot.

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

[EDGEWATER]

6-rods by myself. No planers.

Same as francis, 22

8 boat rods, 14 planers. and sometimes 24 if I feel like putting the dummies out. It gets cramped on a cc running anymore than that.
