This thread discusses the Content article: Trolling Strategies: Maximizing Two Downriggers

Nice write up Paul, thanks.

I've used both free sliders & fixed sliders successfully in the past and not had problems with tangles. Based on your article, I’m confident I could deploy the spread described. I do have a couple questions about running stackers that are probably really simple to answer, but since I've never used them I could use a little help.

1) When a fish takes one of the baits off a stacked rod, does the stacker slide down the cable to the ball?

2) For those using stackers with coated cable type depth/speed sensors, do stackers cause problems with the coated cable (either from being pinched on or sliding down to the weight)?

3) Dragging that spread around looks simple enough. But, it sure looks like tangles waiting to happen when the fish takes a lure from the deeper set rod on a given rigger. In general, do the fish normally clear themselves or do you have to pull in the stacked rig to play a fish that took the deeper rod?
