I'm new with using downriggers. To better my chances I would like to start using 2 rods with 1 downrigger.
The downrigger on my boat is aimed off to the side and has one rod holder that's located in the middle and I have another rod holder that hooks on to the side of the boat. Should the rod towards the back of the boat be used for the higher
line, or should the rod towards the front of the boat be used? Also, if a fish gets hooked on the bottom line should you release the upper line so they don't get tangled?
