I always run 2 dipsey on each side. If you are running jet divers with short leads you need to think about the high possibility of the jets running into the dipseys. In that case you should set them at 0 and 1.5. Mine are normally at 1 and 3 and never tangle. Never let them out fast and use the clicker. Some guys run the #1 at the rear of the boat and the #3 just forward of that in the rod holders. I can run my #1 towards the front and #3 at the rear but the rod holders are 8 ft apart. Take some more time on how you set the rods. A good lesson on my boat would probably be worth the time. When I run my #1 dipsey way forward, when a fish hits it, the guys reels it up right along side the boat. The # 3 rod at the rear corner , fish on , then would come right up the rear of the boat. When using very long lines on dipsy, like 100-180ft, is somewhat different way so that the diver has time to go over the over line.
Salmon fishing, some guys run 3 or 4 on each side. They go out to where you tell them and dont vere far from that. Its hard to tangle these if you get a pattern.
