they never tangle, most of the fish will hit it and go strait to the bottom. but i seen chatham fish bolt sideways.
the furthest ones go back as far as you can get them then set the others five feet ahead of each other stagered.
about 5 knots 1700-1900 rpm. mess with the rpm's a tiny bit till you get it right {catch one} then carve a notch in the tach. that is where you need to be, all the time,,, not 100 rpm over or under just right..
chinese fire drill with only three guys, but hey it works.
