I run 5',7',10',13' and 16 on each side. Just gotta watch your lines close.
I am going to get into this this year. I was thinking of running a 8, 10, 12 and 14ft pole out of each side of the boat. Is this enough separation in the poles and should I only run 3 poles instead of 4? Using a hi-tek holder for the rods to sit in.

Ill be watching to see what the long liners say. GOING TO TRY IT MYSELF.
It is very addictive, just remember, do not stop for anything and make real wide sweeping turns.
I use 3 on each side with a 4' gap (typically 12, 8 and 4ft). Then I run four rods off the back. I'm still pretty new to longlining, and this is what works for me. I'm sure some of the more experienced guys can run 4 or 5 on each side with less gap, but I get the lines crossed too often.
tried it a few times last year,gonna learn this year or else,gonna go 6,10,14,18ft poles so i will have 4ft of seperation,and i think from what little i tried it last year u need your rod tips as close to the water as u can get them
I run 8, 12 and 16 pulling cranks. Sounds like I might better go for a little more separation. Might go 5, 8, 12 and 16. Keep the insight coming.
That's my spread on the front sides of my boat works great and I agree don't stop for nothing keep trolling.

I keep mine about a foot off the water to give me room to sweep a longer rod under a short to avoid tangles with spunky fish. Might not be ideal but works for me.
