[QUOTE="Rowdie, post: 440659, member: 272"] The only time I'll ever use 6 again is in a tournament. I won't run 6 even then if trying over fish over 18 feet. When I have run 6 it was in a tournament or practicing for one. I use 2 boards. One on the inside and one on the outside, and both are in rod holders up front in the bow, where one guy (me usually) is steering with the electric. The other two guys are in the back are running 2 out the sides and two shorties out the back. It takes good teamwork to have guys helping with the boards and paying attention to which lines need adjusting or weeds taken off. Snags SUCK! If the fishing is hot so does catching dink after dink. I usually start with 4 and then add a board on the inside and go with 5. If the shoreline is such that the outside line isn't too deep then I'll that one out too, but the outside board is the first one to go if its a hassle. That inside board can be your big fish rod for sure. We slammed a 6.7 lber for 2nd biggest fish in the Denny years ago and got 2nd overall that day. My theory for tournaments is plan A...Crank.....There is no plan B. In June anyway. It's all math really. The more lures you can keep in the zone for as much time as possible will produce more fish, and since cranks usually catch bigger fish, run em. Now if I'm just fishing with family and kids, I'll never run 6. [/QUOTE]
