I also run 10 rods by myself and if set up correctly they’re very manageable. There’s times when the bit gets hot and I have to stow a few but not often. Proper separation is key. I use 6,9,and 12’ rods and the long rods have the longest line out and the others shorten accordingly. The four out the back are all 7’ and fanned out some. They are also running 1/8 heads and the rest are 1/16. Works well for me.

The little bait with the trimmed body looks good to me. I use a paddle/boot tail or curl tail on all my lines. That color has done well I. The past for me. Happy Anniversary.
