| Newbie here looking to get into the trolling scene. I know enough that I don't want too many lines out to start with as I learn how to handle the tackle, placement and trolling speeds, boat etc., but figure there is probably a good utility spread that I should be using. So probably 4-5 lines...could run a teaser or dredge but not sure if that is a good idea till I get some experience? I need to know lures and leader materials, lengths and positions to set the spread. My boat has 15' outriggers and a single manual downrigger with 10lb ball. My reels are TLD 25's (till i get some "spare" cash...like that will happen  ).

| STBD short rigger gets a pink white seawitch with pin rigged ballyhoo, PORT short rigger gets a blue white seawitch with another pin rigged ballyhoo.
Port Flat, gets a red white cedar plug just outside the prop wash
On the Starboard Flat,Blue and White seawitch/ballyhoo NOW, the long riggers get creative. Blue and white chugger on the port, and a Rainbow or Blue White Spreader Bar with chase bait on the STBD it will take a while but with testing what gets knockdowns and hook ups you figure out whats best working for you....

| I'd do it completely in reverse. Chuggers on the short flats, islanders on the riggers, maybe a naked ballyhoo on a rigger, etc. Throw a couple of teasers in the mix and you are all set. MAYBE a cedar plug way out back down center

| No way you shuld run 7 lines when you are just getting started. Throw a teaser in the first wave. I like at least one real big artificial on one short flat (big orange and black softhead maybe) and a Yozuri bonita opposite a wave closer. balyyoo combos or small lures (Ahi P maybe) on the outriggers and a bird plug combo or jet head on the shotgun. Starting out, 5 lines will be plenty to keep up with. Just my .02
