I only go max 10' behind the weights..I also use the fishy shaped weights which I paint white and throw some sparkly stuff on em. I find that way the weights actually draw in fish. I tested this theory by running them without any baits or lures and saw a lot of fish on sonar going in for a strike/look. I run short lengths to minimize tangles in tight turns and so I can keep an eye on everything on sonar. Works for me and now that I have teewked my baits the right way I have no problem boating 25-40 fish /day with 90% of strikes resulting in a solid hook up. Lol...but that all took many many many many hours of trial and error with most successful discoveries being totally by accident...but hey! That's fishing!
