Bridge Rods

How many and where are they in the spread. How often do you out fish the deck crew? Pictures appreciated

I run 8 in the pit. 3 off the bridge. one wwb the other two staggered in the spread.

Long riggers up top along with a shotgun and "the bridge pole". The bridge almost always outfishes the pit. The "brige pole" fished with a naked skipping ballyhoo just behind the short riggers in the middle of the spread where the wash cleans up almost always out fishes any other rod in the spread.
That bait in that spot is tough to beat. And to make an unfair advantage worse, a good captain has a great shot to pick off misses with the bridge pole. Reel up to pick 'em off the teaser, drop back to pick 'em up going away...all with an eagle-eye view from the bridge.

The bridge is a deadly place to fish from.
