Seven rods too much without outriggers?

Switch the flat with the spreader and save the headache and get them out of the wash

We ran 6 on a 20' PRO LINE with a T top and no riggers and had no problems. We ran 2 flats banded down to the rear cleats with witches and bally, two out of the next gunnel holders forward banded to the first guide on the rod with witches and bally, one off the T top with a witch bally or a naked back a fair way and a way back bird green machine. You can switch the long bally off the T Top to a bar and move it in a little. With your riggers holders I am sure you could run 7 without a problem. With a small boat we were never fishing in much wind so blowing the lines was never a problem. We would not run past the 30 line and the BF's were on the hills which is where we spent most of our time and we caught as good as other boats.

I think that's a perfect spread, just stagger the bars 2 keep em from making love on turns. U ever see my pic of my eastern shore redneck riggers? Can be cheaply made for less than 50$ using aluminum painters poles from ur local hardware store.
