Short rods can let the baits tangle easily as you change direction like hanging up. Short rods also can result in lines in the TM; be careful. Use the same weight sinker on all rods, otherwise you have more tangles; 1/2 oz sinker minimum. Put all rod tips at the same height, fairly close to the water. Good luck A life without God is like an unsharpened pencil, it has no point.
