Very interesting - two completely different methods. We have been running the longest lead on the outside. Also, if you have staggered rode holders, is it best to run the inside board from the rear holder and the outside board from the front or the other way around. We used to run the inside board from the front holder and the outside from the rear. But, we switched the order based on general recommendations and now we seem to be have a lot more tangles. Thinking about switching back to original program.
