After watching the video he does do things different then what I am used too. Me personally run my first rod and board the farthest from the boat as this way when a fish gets on the board slides behind the boat clearing all the other lines ( less tangles ), and the fish gets reeled up right behind the boat. I spread my lines first board maybe 40 feet from the boat second 30 feet third 20 feet or any distance I choose. This way I cover a much larger area versus lining them up, just anther way to do the same thing.
It was a very good video.
