Could anyone tell me if you run one on 3 and one on 2 and one on 1 how far apart that spread might be? Is it possible to run without tangles? Thanks.

I run the "0" size as I find them easier to control. Separation depends on distance back and speed. Tangles are avoided by staying straight on course, no sharp turns. I also find it better if you run the lead dipsey on a 3 setting on a 10 foot pole, the middle one on an 8.5 foot pole and a 7 foot rod on the 1 setting trailing the others. It should be understood that you are running the same lures for equal drag on all poles.Quote:
