Proper distribution?

[shadster]

What is the proper way to run boards with copper, riggers, and dipsey divers for length behind the boat. Short in the middle and long on the outside is what I'm trying to remember?

That makes sense to me. However if you do end up short outside copper let the line fall back a bit before putting the brakes on the fish. that way he will hopefully fall behind the other copper rod.

Thanks Mark! I've been playing on the reservoirs here and want to avoid the tangles using more weapons as much as I can.

 

I hope all is well with you.

Somewhat of a diagram I came across and tried. Everything seems to work

Thanks Sea-IV.

Copper and dipsys are set slightly different when putting out more than one per side.  You want the inside dipsy deeper and shorter length back (use a mag).  The outside dipsy you want further back but higher in the column (use a standard dipsy).  With Copper you again want the deep line on the inside  which means the longer copper segment.  The shorter coppers go to the outside.  Set this way when the outside line gets bit the fish will slide to inside and be above the inside line avoiding tangles.

Thanks Gill. Hope to be putting it to use.

I agree with Sea-IV and Gill-T as I have learned this the hard way. Break these rules and you will usually PAY!
