Trying to get a little advice here...I have an older (very capable) 16' FiberForm boat, nicely set up for trolling, using 1 manual downrigger on each side...I know how to stack, I do stack once in awhile...I hate stacking....so I've been using a planer board mostly for my second rod....I have purchased a third manual Cannon DR, and would like to install it on the side that I usually use (starboard)....This new one is the UNI-troll 10 STX, with the extendable boom and swivel base......this extendable boom would get my second line further away from my first line by about 4', and my intent is to have less line tangles, and be able to put that second line at the depth I want....or maybe that's troller's utopia?...Any of you guys have any experience with two down riggers on the same side, on a boat that's not 18' or bigger? Cuz I know they're pretty nice on your bigger boats, and often they're all electric....for where I go, manual does fine....tks for any thoughts....
