well if ya got exp.with riggers ...no if your just learning then ya got some great tangles ahead of you..start out with 2 .. Driver control is critical with tight riggers. toss in depth of riggers,cross currents,leader length,wind,and turns and ya gots yer hands full..shallow trolling 50ft and above ant to bad with good weather conditions...3 should be plenty 99% of the time 2 outside and swivel 1 to center if yer booms are long enuf...like i said boat control is critical....Id suggest 2 good dypsy setups to spread things out.....if yer totally new to great lakes fishing id suggest

www.attheoak.com and go to fishing tips and do some reading this winter,it will help you understand some "terms or words" we use fishing and WILL save ya some costly tackle ,fustration and time after a long drive.....

Run either fish weights or fined weights and slightly bend the fins to cause the weights to track slightly away from the boat. You should have no problem once you get them adjusted properly.
